- The first book to explore the responses of television fans to the ending of favourite programmes, proposing the new theoretical concept of post-object fandom and synthesizing theoretical approaches from audience studies, television studies, and sociology. Drawing on empirical material collected over nine years, the book offers an extensive comparative, multi-site approach through survey data and analysis of posts at several online communities which yields examination of numerous television fandoms. Its arguments have ramifications for research into television texts and audiences, arguing for renewed focus on older media objects and the need to explore fan activity once favourite texts cease production.
