"Sports fandom is defined by obsession, irrationality, and a love of rabbit holes. But in 2020, most professional sports had few games and no fans present. This led lawyer and University of Michigan superfan Paul Campos to ponder the ways that fandom is conditioned by social circumstance and collective psychology. In limning the structural unhappiness of a fan's life, he found deep and resonant political and personal meanings to loving a sports team-some obvious, others revealed only over time. Campos's own lifelong obsessions help him index fandom-related manias and provides an entry point to grasping their history, nature, and surprisingly broad import"--

A captivating and profound debut novel about complicated love and the friendships that have the power to transform you forever, perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Mira is starting over at Saint Francis Prep. She promised her parents she would at least try to pretend that she could act like a functioning human this time, not a girl who can’t get out of bed for days on end, who only feels awake when she’s with Sebby. Jeremy is the painfully shy art nerd at Saint Francis who’s been in self-imposed isolation after an incident that ruined his last year of school. When he sees Sebby for the first time across the school lawn it’s as if he’s been expecting this blond, lanky boy with a mischief glinting in his eye. Sebby, Mira’s gay best friend, is a boy who seems to carry sunlight around with him . Even as life in his foster home starts to take its toll, Sebby and Mira together craft a world of magic rituals and impromptu road trips, designed to fix the broken parts of their lives. As Jeremy finds himself drawn into Sebby and Mira’s world, he begins to understand the secrets that they hide in order to protect themselves, to keep each other safe from those who don’t understand their quest to live for the impossible.

Learning to use Education as a Tool Music Business Management in this book begins in early childhood memory when God, music and the English Language are just starting to make sense. Sentence structure and definitions are years away yet words still have meaning, sounds still have a purpose while schedules and existence begin to formulate. In my young adult years my focus shifted from thinking as a musician to thinking as an engineer. For some reason my mind was learning to trust God to work out the details and work towards a career in the music business. The Art of Developing Fans For Life describes real life events of how recording artists communicate. What are the components & music performance data involved in the music business? Can we visualize the how the masters of the industry build their business? There is referenced material from professional resources. Successfully gained support from: o “This Business of Music” writer, M. William Krasilovsky o “The Real Warren Buffet” writer, James O’Loughlin o “The Art of Mixing” Publisher – MixBooks o “Compact Handbook of College Composition, Third Edition” by Maynard J. Brennan/Houghton Mifflin Company o “Effective Communication” by Harvard Business Review o Nielson Soundscan o Courtesy BMI A recording engineer is responsible for helping the recording artist transfer music to a listening audience. The importance of career benchmarks can only add value if the listening audience is generally accepting the product your working on. Recording techniques and examples in the book are reviewed as a Multi-Platinum and Gold recording engineer. This book is a literary tool to help bridge the gap of making a living working in the music business. Getting paid for working is a plus and learning to manage the experience is what my literary efforts are about. Upward Communication, locating a circle of competence and applying industry standard approaches to small business through creating tangible literary support in the field of engineering helps to move the subject to another level. Also the tangible asset is based on real life experiences from two generations ago to future generations from now. Creative writing skills in the academic field endeavor to create viable income as a writer. As earlier stated the language of an infant can make a heart grow fonder. The language of someone learning to appreciate the recording techniques shown by masters is part of the formula to achieve great sounding records. Big VU meters on the compressors and Big VU Meters on the recording consoles shape the context of learning to trust the people you work with. As an individual my efforts work towards being as my grandfather was a first class citizen. My digital world is always improving and family always encourages me to work towards my goals and objectives. Adding value through work experience can be thought of as establishing employment opportunities of tomorrow. Learning to become an entrepreneur stepping on the academic references that this book has successfully gained. Each topic of discussion focuses on transferring sound recordings into a marketable asset that will enhance my future employment opportunities. Chapters 1 through 9 introduce new concepts in the Music Business as well as use original text. 1. Integrating with Customer Service 2. Build your knowledge base for a future reference 3. Interact with the Online Glossary 4. Invest into Copyrights 5. Market your skills 6. Develop new Products and Services Design the small business to work closely with major corporations.

In the past, sport, particularly football, has been defined as a male domain. Women’s interest stereotypically ranges from gentle tolerance to active resistance. But increasingly, women are proudly identifying themselves as supporters of their teams, and have become highly desirable audiences for sport organizations and merchandisers. Football provides a unique site at which to examine the complex interplay between three theoretical areas: identity formation and maintenance, commercialization of cultural practices, and gender hegemony. This book explores how women experience their fandom, and what barriers exist for the female fan.

Have you ever been a fan of a show that was canceled abruptly or that killed off a beloved character unexpectedly? Or perhaps it was rebooted after a long absence and now you’re worried it won’t be as good as the original? Anyone who has ever followed entertainment closely knows firsthand that such transitions can be jarring. Indeed, for truly loyal fans, the loss can feel very real—even throwing their own identity into question. Examining how fans respond to and cope with transitions, endings, or resurrections in everything from band breakups (R.E.M.) to show cancellations (Hannibal) to closing down popular amusement park rides, this collection brings together an eclectic mix of scholars to analyze the various ways fans respond to change. Essays explore practices such as fan discussion and creating alternative fan fictions, as well as cases where fans abandon their objects of interest completely and move on to new ones. Shedding light on how fans react, both individually and as a community, the contributors also trace the commonalities and differences present in fandoms across a range of media, and they pay close attention to the ways fandom operates across paratexts and transmedia forms including films, comics, and television. This fascinating approach promises to make an important contribution to the fields of fan, media, and cultural studies, and should appeal widely to students, scholars, and anyone else with a genuine interest in understanding why these transitions can have such a deep impact on fans’ lives.

How can Japanese popular culture gain numerous fans in China, despite pervasive anti-Japanese sentiment? How is it that there’s such a strong anti-Korean sentiment in Chinese online fan communities when the official Sino-Korean relationship is quite stable before 2016? Avid fans in China are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding to make gifts to their idols in foreign countries. Tabloid reports on Japanese and Korean celebrities have been known to trigger nationalist protests in China. So, what is the relationship between Chinese fandom of Japanese and Korean popular culture and nationalist sentiment among Chinese youth? Chen discusses how Chinese fans of Japanese and Korean popular culture have formed their own nationalistic discourse since the 1990s. She argues that, as nationalism is constructed from various entangled ideologies, narratives, myths and collective memories, popular culture simply becomes another resource for the construction of nationalism. Fans thus actively select, interpret and reproduce the content of cultural products to suit their own ends. Unlike existing works, which focus on the content of transnational cultural flows in East Asia, this book focuses on the reception and interpretation of the Chinese audience.

'A celebration of human idiosyncrasy and of our talent for building shared meaning and solidarity out of the strangest material' – TLS Fans takes the reader on a journey through a constellation of fandoms, and along the way demonstrates some fundamental truths about the human condition. Fascinating and thought-provoking, Fans is a story of communities, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions. Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero. But acclaimed science writer Michael Bond shows that despite these benefits, the world of fandoms is not without its dark underside, from the “copycat effect” fuelling mass shootings to the delusions that can accompany the parasocial relationships that fans feel they have with their heroes. In Fans, Michael Bond draws on the work of social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why such groups have such a profound effect on human culture.
