SALON: Embodied Fan Identities and Practices

This salon will explore how we make sense of embodied fan identities in real-world spaces. These analyses of embodied fandom, broadly conceived, should be placed in direct conversation with how lived identity markers such as race, age, ability, size, gender or gender presentation, sexuality, and nationality shape the fan experience and/or interact with hegemonic understandings of “fan identity.” The goal of this salon is to explore to what degree our understanding of the phenomenological or affective experience of “fan identity” manifests in and/or is or performed through various embodied fan performances and practices.

Participants: Suzanne Scott, University of Texas Austin; Jessica Haustch, Stony Brook University; Rebecca Rowe; EJ Nielsen, University of Massachusetts Amherst; Ashley Smalls; Alexandra Harlig; Liz Laurie
