商品描述
This book offers the first multidisciplinary perspective on the formation and practices of fandoms before the term 'fan' was borrowed from the world of sport to describe enthusiastic filmgoers in the 1910s. The focus is on nineteenth-century theatre, opera and literature, where fannish audiences were indispensable participants in the emerging cult of celebrity surrounding actors, opera singers and writers, although their presence was almost obscene and consequently rarely acknowledged in scholarship. Drawing on the insights of Fandom studies, the articles in this volume add the necessary dimension of fannish audiences to the history of the performing arts and literature since at least the eighteenth century, as a counterpart to the development of stage and literary celebrities.
On the other hand, the contributions also broaden the perspective of the flourishing field of Fandom Studies, which has a predilection for fan cultures from the 1960s onwards (and especially for digital fan cultures). Therefore, one of the main questions will be how historical forms of fandom can actually be researched methodologically, e.g. by drawing on historical ethnography. In addition, such an extension of the 'era of the fan' to the two centuries before the 20th century requires a discussion of the semantic fields from which the terminologies for describing fannish behaviour were borrowed before the breakthrough of the term 'fan'.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了對於粉絲文化形成及實踐的第一個多學科視角,探討了在「粉絲」(fan)這個詞從體育界借用來形容1910年代熱情的電影觀眾之前的情況。重點放在十九世紀的劇院、歌劇和文學上,當時的粉絲觀眾是圍繞演員、歌劇歌手和作家所興起的名人崇拜中不可或缺的參與者,儘管他們的存在幾乎是猥褻的,因此在學術界中很少受到承認。本書中的文章借鑒了粉絲研究的見解,為至少自十八世紀以來的表演藝術和文學歷史增添了粉絲觀眾這一必要的維度,作為舞台和文學名人發展的對應。
另一方面,這些貢獻也擴展了蓬勃發展的粉絲研究領域的視角,該領域偏好於1960年代以來的粉絲文化(尤其是數位粉絲文化)。因此,主要問題之一將是如何以方法論的方式研究歷史上的粉絲形式,例如通過歷史民族誌的方式。此外,將「粉絲時代」的範疇擴展到20世紀之前的兩個世紀,還需要討論在「粉絲」這個詞突破之前,用於描述粉絲行為的術語所借用的語義領域。
