DIGITAL FANDOM - PAUL BOOTH GEBUNDEN

This book re-evaluates the way we examine today's digital media environment. By looking at how
popular culture uses different digital technologies  Digital Fandom bolsters contemporary media
theory by introducing new methods of analysis. Using the exemplars of alternate reality gaming
and fan studies  this book takes into account a particular «philosophy of playfulness» in
today's media in order to establish a «new media studies». Digital Fandom augments traditional
studies of popular media fandom with descriptions of the contemporary fan in a converged media
environment. The book shows how changes in the study of fandom can be applied in a larger scale
to the study of new media in general  and formulates new conceptions of traditional media
theories.
