Abstract
Examines how fannish and feminist modes of cultural consumption, production, and critique are converging and opening up informal spaces for young people to engage with feminism. Adopting an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, bringing together media and communications, feminist cultural studies, sociology, internet studies, and fan studies, Hannell locates media fandom at the intersection of the multi-directional and co-constitutive relationship between popular feminisms, popular culture, and participatory networked digital cultures. Using a layered methodological approach comprising participant observation, surveys and interviews, Feminist Fandom constructs a multifaceted ethnographic account of how feminist identities are constructed, lived, and felt through digital fannish spaces on the micro-blogging and social networking platform Tumblr.
