About

Fandom is a research field examining organized, often affective, engagement with cultural texts, objects, or phenomena. It investigates the formation, practices, and social dynamics of communities built around shared intense interest, analyzing their cultural production, identity construction, and relationship with media industries. Characterized by high levels of emotional investment and active participation, its significance lies in illuminating audience agency, participatory culture, and the complex negotiation of meaning within contemporary cultural landscapes.
