[csaa-forum] Asian Celebrity and Fandom Book Series

[Sean Redmond]

Dear all,

We are seeking additional expressions of interest and proposals for our Bloomsbury book series, Asian Celebrity and Fandom.

The Asian Celebrity and Fandom Studies Series is devoted to the publication of scholarly books that critically examine star, celebrity and fandom cultures in specific Asian countries, in trans-Asian or trans-national contexts, and among Asian diasporas.

Topics and themes include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
· Celebrity politics in Asia
· Asian micro-celebrities and influencers
· Asian star bodies
· Transnational Asian stardom and celebrity
· Affective Asian stardom and celebrity
· Celebrity governance and public diplomacy in Asia
· Fan culture in Asia (on and off line)
· The Asian fan economy in national and transnational contexts
· Post-colonial explorations of Asian celebrity and fandom

The series publishes monographs, co-authored books, and edited collections. All proposal and manuscripts are subject to rigorous peer review. Please see the attached flyers for an overview of the series and the books that are in pipeline.

Please do get in touch with Jian and me if you have an exciting idea for a book,

Sean and Jian

"Cinema is science fiction: this startling, persuasive conclusion guides Sean Redmond's enquiry into the liquid state of digital culture seen through the lenses, heard through the speakers and felt through the trackpads of science fiction film and television. From capitalism to race, surveillance to the sublime, in a brilliant constellation of close readings Redmond tracks the new heavens and hells of our compulsorily fluid condition” – Sean Cubitt, Goldsmiths, University of London
