Abstract

This Special Issue explores the vibrant landscape of the Creative Industries, mainly how fans - the most invested consumers and audiences of popular culture - play a role in it. Since Henry Jenkins’ (1992) seminal work on fandom, considering them as textual poachers who can derive pleasure from popular texts or reappropriate them to fit their identity, studying fandom helps understand questions and challenges related to audience engagement, representation, or cultural identity.
