Disney's Princess Ariel would give anything to be 'where the people
are', but little does she know there's an ever-growing fan base of
humans dying to be down in the ocean where she is. Movies like the
Little Mermaid and Pirates of the Caribbean have sparked the
interest of newer generations of mermaid fans, but our enchantment
with these mythical creatures of the sea goes back for centuries.
Fan Phenomena: Mermaids takes a deep dive into these fascinations
and the cultural creations that mermaids inspire among fans of all
ages. Mermaids, and merfolk more generally, are everywhere you
look. Merfolk devotees march in themed parades and practice
mermaiding - swimming with a mermaid tail. There's mermaid fiction
and mermaid virtual reality; mermaid art and #mermaid trends. You
may not know it, but transgenerational merfolk fan communities
stretch around the world - from sea to shining sea. And their
popularity is only growing. In Fan Phenomena: Mermaids, Matthieu
Guitton assembles a star studded cast of scholars and popular
culture insiders to decode the mermaid phenomenon. The book
explores how merfolk have evolved in popular culture and what it is
that grants them their privileged status among fantasy creatures.
Illustrated throughout with fan photographs and stills from a
plethora of films and TV shows, this new addition to the Fan
Phenomena series promises to both fascinate and delight readers -
earthbound and ocean-dwelling alike.
