title = "Backstage spaces: the Sherlock incident",
abstract = "This chapter explores the representational incongruence between idealised and fictional representations of celebrity image through a deconstruction of the Sherlock Incident in which actors read fan fiction. Adopting Erving Goffman{\textquoteright}s dramaturgical framework of identity management as performance, and in particular the authenticity of the backstage space, the incident serves as a case study of fans{\textquoteright} perception (imagined, idealised or otherwise) of celebrities{\textquoteright} private personas. In particular the significance of public context and face-to-face interaction will be examined in relation to fans{\textquoteright} construction and exploration of celebrities{\textquoteright} authentic backstage space.",
