Abstract

Aussie Fans explores how Australian fans react to international and local media. It offers insight into the types of media content that attract Australian fans, the organization of fan communities, and fan-producer interactions within an Australian context. Distance is an overarching theme within the book, which is explored through discussions of local and global popular culture, online and offline fan activity, and role of fandom in Australian media. With a focus on the experiences of specific fan groups and media events, the case studies in this book offer historical and contemporary commentary on the influence that distance has on the experience of fandom in Australia
