- Cult Collectors is based on extensive fieldwork and primary research carried out over a five year period. The book is the result of four international research visits to industry conventions and fan tourist sites in Europe and North America, including global events in San Diego and Las Vegas, and the use of archives held at the University of Iowa. It offers original analyses of the collecting practices and fan communities of popular screen and transmedia franchises including Star Wars. The book frames these examples through discussions of geography, memory, nostalgia and hierarchies of taste.
