“’Fandom introduced me to feminism’”: Feminisms, digital media fandom and paratextual feminist identity development on Tumblr

Abstract:
This paper locates media fandom and fan cultures on the microblogging and social networking platform Tumblr as a site at which meanings of feminism are paratextually constructed, negotiated, and contested. The circulation and paratextual (re)framing of popular cultural texts within digital fan communities offer interpretative frameworks for young people to make feminist meaning of texts, as well as make meaning of feminism itself in ways that call for a (re-)evaluation of the complex relationship between popular media culture, media reception, and feminist identity development. This research draws upon 342 responses to an in-depth narrative survey exploring young people’s engagements with feminism, featuring participants from 39 countries. In doing so, this paper offers an introduction to several key themes of my recent monograph, Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024).

Dr Briony Hannell is the author of Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024), and is in the final months of her post as a University Teacher in Sociology at the University of Sheffield in the UK. In July, she will be joining the University of Manchester as a Lecturer in Digital Sociology. Her research examines young people’s engagements with feminisms, and social justice more broadly, in and through digital cultures. Her research interests centre intersectional feminist theory, digital identities and belonging, popular (digital) media cultures, and digital in/equalities. She has published in Transformative Works & Cultures, Girlhood Studies, Celebrity Studies, and Participations, and has contributed to The International Encyclopedia of Gender, Media, and Communication (2020) and Girls’ and Young Women’s Textual Cultures Across History: Imitation, Adaptation, Transformation (Routledge, forthcoming).

Please circulate with interested parties – all welcome!
