      abstract = {This book argues that fans' creative works form a  cognitive system; fanfic, fanvids, and gifs are not simply  evidence of thinking, but acts of thinking. Drawing on work  in cognitive linguistics, neuroscience, cognitive  philosophy, and psychology -- particularly focused on 4-E  cognition, which rejects Cartesian dualism -- this project  demonstrates that cognition is an embodied, emotional, and  distributed act that emerges from fans' interactions with  media texts, technological interfaces, and fan collectives.  This mode of textual engagement is deeply physical,  emotional, and social and is enacted through fanworks. By  developing a theory of critical closeness, this book  proposes a methodology for fruitfully putting cognitive  science in conversation with fan studies.

She earned her PhD from  Stony Brook University, where she also taught as a lecturer  with the Program in Writing and Rhetoric. Her work offers a  phenomenological interrogation of fan communities,  exploring how the cognitive humanities, performance  studies, and fandom intersect. She is an avid fan of Buffy,  Game of Thrones, D&D, and emo.},
