Transformative Works and Cultures
Special Issue CFP: Materiality and Object-Oriented Fandom (March 2014) |
|
| This special issue seeks historically and theoretically informed essays that explore the role of objects and their associated practices in fandom as instances of creativity and consumerism, transformation and affirmation, private archive and public display. We are particularly interested in work that complicates or transcends the binaries of social versus solitary, artwork versus commodity, and gift versus monetary economies to engage with object-oriented fandom as self-aware and playful in its own right. Guest edited by Bob Rehak (Swarthmore). Contributions are due March 1, 2013, and interested submitters are encouraged to contact the guest editor with their ideas. |

Contributions are due March 1, 2014, and interested submitters are encouraged to contact the guest editors with their ideas. |
