学术兴趣
体育物质. I can give you the dollars that are spent on all levels of athletic competitions and the huge amounts of time spent attending, watching and thinking about sports by our society. My academic interest in the study of sport is specifically in sports fans. 看台上的球迷, 在留言板, 在谈话电台, and at watch parties across the country constitute unique sites of fan community and identity. By immersing myself in fan cultures and analyzing various rhetorical texts that are key to each fan group, 我可以提供一些见解, 也许更重要的是为什么, fans come together in celebration of their team.
My interest in fan cultures does not stop with sports. I am also interested in fans of comic books and graphic novels. This fan culture is much more insular since being an avid comic fan does not hold the same social standing as being a sports fan. 然而漫画电影的流行, from Superman to Spiderman to Batman to the X-Men, and the prevalence of these characters in popular culture tell us that the images and personas tap into important parts of our social psyche. Examination of the comics themselves sheds light on the interpretive community of readers and immersion in key cultural locations, like the local comic shop and the national comic book conventions, allow me to reveal what these fans find significant about their love of comic books in general and comic characters specifically.
