      abstract = {We are all fans. Whether we log on to Web sites to  scrutinize the latest plot turns in Lost, "stalk" our  favorite celebrities on Gawker, attend gaming conventions,  or simply wait with bated breath for the newest Harry  Potter novel-each of us is a fan. Fandom extends beyond  television and film to literature, opera, sports, and pop  music, and encompasses both high and low culture. Fandom  brings together leading scholars to examine fans, their  practices, and their favorite texts. This unparalleled  selection of original essays examines instances across the  spectrum of modern cultural consumption from Karl Marx to  Paris Hilton, Buffy the Vampire Slayer to backyard  wrestling, Bach fugues to Bollywood cinema¸ and  nineteenth-century concert halls to computer gaming.  Contributors examine fans of high cultural texts and  genres, the spaces of fandom, fandom around the globe, the  impact of new technologies on fandom, and the legal and  historical contexts of fan activity. Fandom is key to  understanding modern life in our increasingly mediated and  globalized world.},
