Popular music is not simply a series of musicians, moments, genres
or recordings. Audiences matter; and the most ardent audience
members are the fans. To be a fan is to feel a connection with
music. The study of fandom has begun to emerge as a vital strand of
academic research, one that offers a fresh perspective on the
nature of music culture. Fan Identities and Practices in Context
investigates fan identities and practices in different contexts and
in relation to different bands and artists. Through a series of
empirical case studies the book reflects a diverse array of objects
and perspectives associated with this vibrant new field of study.
Contributors examine how fans negotiate their identities and
actively pursue their particular interests, touching on a range of
issues including cultural capital, generational memory, gender, fan
fiction and the use of new media. This book was originally
published as two special issues of Popular Music and Society.
