Aims & Scope

 

Journal of Fandom Studies (JFS) is an interdisciplinary double-blind peer-reviewed journal, first published by Intellect in 2012. This journal offers scholars from around the globe a dedicated publication that promotes current scholarship into the fields of fan studies and audience studies. JFS focuses on the critical exploration of key issues within a wide range of disciplines and fan cultures; engages with text, performance, history, material culture and a variety of media; and fosters new areas of enquiry that take us beyond the bounds of current scholarship.
