- This monograph (pp.226) reconceptualises the study of fan production, synthesizing ideas from cultural studies and political economy to introduce the concept of an ‘alternative economy’ as a way to understand the practices of fans as creative enterprise. It draws on ethnographic research conducted over a ten-year period into European cult cinema fan entrepreneurship, including 25 semi-structured interviews, observation of offline and online enterprise and the author’s own fan enterprise as autoethnography. The book yields new insights into the enterprise of fans, particularly their use of new technologies, how they distribute artefacts, and the legal contexts in which they operate.
