From the earliest 'Exterminate!' to the recent 'Allons-y!', from the white-haired grandfather to the wide-grinned youth, the show has depicted the adventures of a time-travelling, dual-hearted, quick-witted and multi-faced hero as he battles Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and all manner of nasties. And, like its main character, who can regenerate his body and change his appearance, Doctor Who fandom has developed and changed significantly in the 50 years since its inception.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn this engaging and insightful collection, fans and scholars from around the globe explore fan fiction, fan videos and fan knitting, as well as the creation of new languages. As multifaceted as the character himself, Doctor Who fans come in many forms, and this book investigates thoroughly the multitude of fandoms, fan works and fan discussions about this always-surprising and energetic programme.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFeaturing full-colour images of fan work and discussions of both classic and New Who fandom, this book takes the reader on a journey of discovery into one of the largest worldwide fan audiences that has ever existed. Thoughtful, insightful and readable, this is one of only a few – and certainly one of the best – guides to Doctor Who fan culture. It is certain to appeal to the show’s many ardent fans across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Apart from the well written and insightful essays, what I liked the most about FP: DW was that throughout–but particularly in editor Booth’s “The First Time,” Doctor Who fans are never treated only as a subject for study–there is a lot of (for want of a better word) “soul” when discussing fandom. Also, and this is typical of Intellect’s output, the design of the book is wonderful, with illustrations from official and fan creations and a gorgeously minimalist cover.'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e -- AJ Gulyas, History, Teaching and the Strange\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Eleven Fandoms? – Matt Hills\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Paul Booth\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart One: Who Are Doctor Who Fans?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFrock Coats, Yo-Yos and a Chair with a Panda on It: Nostalgia for the Future in the Life of a Doctor Who Fan – Ivan Phillips\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJoint Ventures and Loose Cannons: Reconstructing Doctor Who's Missing Past – Richard Wallace\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLife in the Hiatus: New Doctor Who Fans, 1989–2005 – Craig Owen Jones\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBritain as Fantasy: New Series Doctor Who in Young American Nerd Culture – Dylan Morris\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e'You Anorak': The Doctor Who Experience and Experiencing Doctor Who – Teresa Forde\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe First Time – Paul Booth\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Two: What Do Doctor Who Fans Do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDo It Yourself: Women, Fanzines and Doctor Who – Leslie McMurtry\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e'We're Making Our Own Happy Ending!': The Doctor Who Fan Vidding Community – Katharina Freund\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExtermi...Knit!: Female Fans and Feminine Handicrafting – Brigid Cherry\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Language(s) of Gallifrey – Denise Vultee\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e'Doctor Who Unbound', the Alternate History and the Fannish Text – Karen Hellekson\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDoctor Who, Slacktivism and Social Media Fandom – Jeremy Sarachan\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGif Fics and the Rebloggable Canon of SuperWhoLock – Nistasha Perez\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042258551127,"sku":"9781783200207","price":22.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781783200207.jpg?v=1750953663","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fan-phenomena-doctor-who-9781783200207","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
