This book considers the practices and techniques fans utilize to
interact with different aspects and elements of food cultures. With
attention to food cultures across nations, societies, cultures, and
historical periods, the collected essays consider the rituals and
values of fan communities as reflections of their food culture,
whether in relation to particular foods or types of food, those who
produce them, or representations of them. Presenting various
theoretical and methodological approaches, the anthology brings
together a series of empirical studies to examine the intersection
of two fields of cultural practice and will appeal to sociologists,
geographers and scholars of cultural studies with interests in fan
studies and food cultures.

The concept of crowdfunding, where grassroots creative projects are
funded by the masses through websites such as Kickstarter and
Indiegogo, has been steadily gaining attention over the last few
years. Crowdfunding the Future undertakes a dynamic

growing, phenomenon of crowdfunding and its encompassment of
digital society and media industries. The book offers a wide range

range of disciplines and topics, this volume offers a comprehensive
overview on crowdfunding, examining and unraveling the
international debates around this increasingly popular practice.

digital media, sociology, film production, anthropology, audience,
and cultural studies.
