Description
Post-Object Fandom Television, Identity and Self-narrative by Rebecca Williams explores how fans respond to the end of their favourite television shows. Through in-depth analysis of fan reactions, discussion, and practices, Williams examines the ways in which fans cope with the loss of a show. This book considers the various strategies that fans employ to maintain their enthusiasm for a series after it has concluded, including re-viewing, discussing with fellow fans, and engaging in other forms of fan culture. By exploring these phenomena through case studies of popular television shows, Williams sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of fandom. By investigating how fans navigate the end of a show, Williams provides insight into the ways in which media consumption shapes our identities and relationships with others.
