Mediatized fan play: Moods, modes and dark play in networked communities, by Line Nybro Petersen.
- Authors

- Abstract
Line Nybro Petersen's book, "Mediatized Fan Play: Moods, Modes and Dark Play in Networked Communities," explores the concept of fan play and its impact on broader culture. The book examines specific fan practices, such as fan fiction and cosplaying, as well as the role of interfan communication. Petersen also explores how fan play has developed into political culture, focusing on the 2016 and 2020 US elections and the rise of the QAnon conspiracy theory. While the book provides valuable insights into the relationship between fan play and broader culture, some aspects could benefit from further critical analysis. "Mediatized Fan Play" is a valuable contribution to the field of fan studies, focusing on how fans engage with each other and create content for their favorite media. This unique perspective will be beneficial for researchers studying fan cultures, the emotional impact of fandom, and the ways in which fan activities spread through online platforms.
