While it has become increasingly difficult to delineate between practices of production and consumption in the digital age, it is important to remember that media industries and fans have long been deeply intertwined. In order to better understand our current moment, this course will examine texts and contexts from the 20th and early 21st centuries that illuminate the complexities and power imbalances in the relationship between industry and fandom. In the process, students will become more familiar with key histories, concepts, and questions in media industry studies and fan studies research.
