The scope of the book is impressive - he looks not just at the nature and development of whole fan cultures, but also focuses on the experience and identity of the individual fan. In addition, the book proposes a new perspective on fans and popular culture, arguing that the modern self is reflected and constituted through media consumption. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In developing his account, Sandvoss draws on theoretical ideas in an original yet accessible way, and uses a wide range of examples, from Star Trek to Madonna to football, to illustrate his argument. This makes 'Fans: the mirror of consumption' an ideal text for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students studying fans, audiences and consumption in all areas of contemporary culture. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It is the book's original contribution, combined with its student-friendly approach, that will make 'Fans: The Mirror of Consumption' a 'must read' text for students and scholars alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornel Sandvoss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745629733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745629735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Cornel Sandvoss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132814487807,"sku":"9780745629735","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5abc5dbf-51c1-4a2b-8a65-76c0cbaa8ae0.jpg?v=1687482468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fans-cornel-sandvoss-9780745629735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
