Fan films & art can convey a fandom’s enthusiasm for characters & storylines, but fans can also change loyalties http://bit.ly/21MqDbq

Henry Jenkins was recently honored by the Science Fiction Researchers Association and used the opportunity to discuss fandom's history when it comes to diversity.

"Those of us who pioneered fandom studies too often bracketed race and class in order to focus on gender, sexuality, and generation. As we sought to validate forms of cultural production and experience that were meaningful to us, we neglected the fact that our own ranks were still too narrowly constituted and that there was more we should have done to validate forms of culture that were meaningful to a more diverse population.

However much we might have sometimes felt like outcasts in our own lives, we were still in a privileged position to help inform what kinds of cultural production and reception mattered in an academic context."

Displaying your fandom doesn’t always bring happy results, but things can change & so can fandom's representation http://bit.ly/1KaDpEw
