cross-cultural fandom research

[xparrot]

This will probably come up again - gnine is currently going for a Master's in media studies and is working on her thesis now, looking at how culture affects how people relate to media. She's particularly looking at the cross-cultural aspects of fandom, and while her focus is going to be on Japanese vs English-language media fandoms, right now she's hoping for a more general conversation. So if you've ever fanned on something that was in a different language or produced by a culture other than your own, or interacted with fans from another country, or if you sometimes squee or write fic in something other than your native language, she'd love to hear from you, as little or as much as you feel like saying on the topic.

(While you're there, you could also mention how much you'd like to see Ben 10 chibis...or how much I'd like to see Ben 10 chibis...)

Well, I was born in the US and grew up in Mexico andmy dad only let us watch tv in english but I've watched Mexican movies and asian movies and french movies so I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

That's definitely what she's looking for! If you're willing to talk about your fanning, just go to gnine's post here and leave a comment!

*snicker* Would that be a not so subtle hint? I'll see what I can do...^_-
