Our Q&A has turned to the overarching theme of the panel, which is moving away from over-arching (dominant) theories of fandom identity and practice. But with the push to 'universalise' our work how do we push back against that? Calls to action here! #SCMS21 #scmsH03

For fan studies this means looking beyond norms and dominant fan discourses. Need to talk about possibilities and nuances for difference. It also complicates discussions of race and racism in fan studies: who has yet to be heard? #scms21 #scmsH03

Using third culture individuals as term for celebrities&fans means moving away from binary between Asia and the West. Lewis Tan uses his social to engage with fans on topics around this, including what having his own Funko Pop as an Asian American will mean. #scms21 #scmsH03

Final paper is from @bertha_c talking third culture fans, celebrities and Asianness. Starts with a quote from Henry Golding's interview with The Guardian where he outlines his specific cultural identity as British and Iban. #scms21 #scmsH03

Fan studies meets children's media industry studies - links between the two in terms of how industry constructs 'the universal child' and the fan based on knowledge and assumption. #scms21 #scmsH03

The fan child constructed for the Legacy collection focuses on individual consumption rather than inside the family unit (which has been alluded to in previous scholarship) and display over play. #scms21 #scmsH03

.@DrRPG_TV's 'fan child' an idealised and masculinised consumer identity with access to high levels of disposal income who purchase high spec replicas linked to their childhood as individual expressions of a fan identity. #scms21 #scmsH03

Product design strategies take into account tastes of adult collectors e.g. emphasis on sculpting detail demonstrates their use for display and not play. Readable as "memory texts". #scms21 #scmsH03

Diegetic or extra-diegetic merchandise: former included helmets, weaponry; latter variants of original parataxis (distracted by the captions mangling Ross' accent so I might have that bit wrong!). #scms21 #scmsH03

On a practical level the dismissal of work like auto-ethnography has broader issues: who gets to speak or work? What about the precarious scholar who can't utilise the methods in the same way as tenured scholars can? #scms21 #scmsH03

Fan studies within broader educational field has tensions: auto-ethnography is often critiqued. How do you prove rigour in first-person narrative discussing own experiences? This causes problems for the REF (UK framework). #scms21 #scmsH03

Lone fan practices can include fan tourism, fan-collecting/merchandise and life-long fandom. Auto-ethnography can advances understanding of fans' individual practices. #scms21 #scmsH03

Importantly, @RukminiPande notes the default fan is white, middle class, cisgender and (Anglo-)American. Fans outside of those demographics and practice lone fandom can thus be doubly-overlooked within fan studies. #scms21 #scmsH03

Our experiences in fandom share who we study, the practices we focus on and the objects we study as aca-fandom. Which is a term that has been challenged and can contribute to hierarchies in research. #scms21 #scmsH03

.@augustaquarius highlights the need to look at the lone fan, including lurkers, those whose fandoms are hidden, those who aren't involved in community or transformative works. #scms21 #scmsH03
