Abstract
Our societal fascination with fans is nothing new. In response to the emergence of mass print culture, affective engagement with “objects of devotion” within communities infused cultural products with renewed meaning. What is a fan, and what types of objects are interesting to them? And how might fan studies help us to think productively in art history? Mia Uribe Koslovsky’s study “Saints and Zinesters,” which examines the twin devotions of fandom and religion, offers some insightful interventions by attending to the practice of reinterpretation, knowledge production, and the nature of devotion itself.
