ポピュラー音楽と女性ファン

Abstract

The typical images of fandom are negative stereotypes and labels of deviancy. Especially, the female fan's roles in popular music studies have been largely limited to being negative audience members. Many essays about female fandom written by numerous sociologists and social psychologists prove that many female fandom are complex and exciting arenas for critical enquiry, rather than a subject to be trivialized and dismissed. They also recognize female fans as creative and positive interpreters to their often repressive social environments, and cultural producers.
