- Focusing on the fandoms of the audio-visual (television and film)
- Cross-cultural study: Generational (teenagers - adults)
- Change from popular culture into fandom and how the internet influenced this.
- Continuity of a fan community but it has evolved and grown from small fan clubs and conventions into worldwide community
- There are levels of fandom. To reach "true fandom", it has to become a life long love and obsession. Not just a phase.
- Hyper real - Baudrillard
- Possible chapters: 1) Fandemonium: Beyond Popular Culture. Defining economic, cultural, social, political aspects of fandom. 2) Fans and Industry: The reciprocating relationship and dependence between fans and professionals. 3) Produced&Directed by Fans: Fan Activity
- What TV series/ Films are you a fan of?
