Beschreibungen/Notizen
Sf fandom has been analyzed as part of the broader study of popular culture, especially
in the context of hobby groups and clubs promoting activities that are alternatives
to work. These groups originated in urban areas of industrialized nations during
the mid-nineteenth century. The necessary conditions for fandom include popular
entertainment for mass audiences, a mass media to advertise and report on the entertainment, and people with enough leisure time and money to become consumers
of the entertainment and the media. As Henry Jenkins (2006) argues, the internet
has affected the nature of fandom by allowing corporate and individual producers of
popular entertainment to access fan materials and interact with fandom in ways that
were not possible with old media.
