Media fandom is the focus of this new companion, which brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of contributors to reflect on the state of fan studies and to point to new research directions. Touching on a diversity of media texts and formats and incorporating a variety of methodologies, the collection is organized into six main sections: methods and ethics, technologies and practices, identities, transcultural fandom, industry, and futures. Although the field of fan studies has seen exponential growth in recent years, there is no collection that comprehensively engages and defines the contours of the field--this collection will fill that gap.
