A weekly list of new/recent fan studies research that’s just been added to the Fan Studies Bibliography. Works are divided into things that are open access (=immediately readable for anyone) and not open access (=behind a paywall or not yet public).

Most of the stuff in the “not open access” section this week is chapters from a new edition of Fandom: Identities and Communities in a Mediated World, a key fan studies book from 2007. Some of the chapters are new, so we’ve included them again. Click the links to Google Books to read at least a portion of the chapters.

If we missed anything or made a mistake, submit a correction and we’ll fix it in next week’s edition. Happy reading!
