“SOON TO BE A MAJOR EMBARRASSMENT ” A collection of 45 filk music songbooks for Printed Matter’s Virtual Art Book Fair A filky-minded project for THE PRINTED MATTER VIRTUAL ART BOOK FAIR online at www.pmvabf.org February 24-28, 2021 CATALOG NOTES In recognition that visitors to www.pmvabf.org will have more than 400 virtual booths to choose from, our list for Printed Matter’s Virtual Art Book Fair gets directly the point: LET’S ALL GET TOGETHER AND GET FILKED UP! To hazard a guess, we’re betting that “filk” is a genre of music that either A) - you’ve never heard of ; or B) - are secretly obsessed with. We stumbled across this collection months ago and landed squarely on “B.” The sights and sounds of filking seem to be perfectly in tune with the delirium of our times. The following pages highlight a gloriously goofy (and seriously fascinating) collection of fanzine- format filk songbooks that were created by and for participants in sci-fi and fantasy fan convention song circles, ca. 1979-1998. We hope you enjoy it. And we dearly look forward to seeing you again in person at future Art Book Fairs. TERMS OF SALE & SHIPPING Offers subject to prior sale.

Rather than submitting a work of fan fiction to a zine where, if accepted, it would be photocopied along with other works and sent out to a mailing list, modern fans can post their works online. Those who fall victim to the irrational appeals are manipulated by mass media to essentially display irrational loyalties to an aspect of pop culture. Harris, Cheryl, and Alison Alexander. She addresses her interests in American cultural and social thought through her works. In doing so, they create spaces where they can critique prescriptive ideas of gender, sexuality, and other norms promoted in part by the media industry. Stanfill, Mel. Cresskill, N. In his first book Fan Cultures , Hills outlines a number of contradictions inherent in fan communities such as the necessity for and resistance towards consumerism, the complicated factors associated with hierarchy, and the search for authenticity among several different types of fandom. Therefore, fans must perpetually occupy a space in which they carve out their own unique identity, separate from conventional consumerism but also bolster their credibility with particular collectors items. They rose to stardom separately on their own merits -- Pickford with her beauty, tumbling curls, and winning combination of feisty determination and girlish sweetness, and Fairbanks with his glowing optimism and athletic stunts.

In this essay, I will give the reader a little insight into the world of fan culture and will be focusing on how fans express themselves. Fans get inspired by books, movies and television programmes to create all kinds of fan work; whether it is fan fiction, fan art, doujinshi, cosplay, or any other creations. Furthermore, the thesis will explore fan culture as it presents itself in Japan and compare it to fan culture in Europe and the USA. I will discuss the effect these creations, although mainly fan fiction, has on authors of popular media and on social media and how the Internet has made it easier for fans all over the world to connect, as well as for fans and creators to connect. 2 Expressions in Fan Culture Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................... 2 Contents .................................................................................................................... 3 Introduction ............................................................................................................... 4 What is Fan Culture ..................................................................................................

    THE FORMATION OF TEMPORARY COMMUNITIES IN ANIME FANDOM: A STORY OF BOTTOM-UP GLOBALIZATION ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Geography ____________________________________ By Cynthia R. Davis Thesis Committee Approval: Mark Drayse, Department of Geography & the Environment, Chair Jonathan Taylor, Department of Geography & the Environment Zia Salim, Department of Geography & the Environment Summer, 2017 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, commonly referred to as anime, has earned a strong foothold in the American entertainment industry over the last few decades. Anime is known by many to be a more mature option for animation fans since Western animation has typically been sanitized to be “kid-friendly.” This thesis explores how this came to be, by exploring the following questions: (1) What were the differences in the development and perception of the animation industries in Japan and the United States? (2) Why/how did people in the United States take such interest in anime? (3) What is the role of anime conventions within the anime fandom community, both historically and in the present? These questions were answered with a mix of historical research, mapping, and interviews that were conducted in 2015 at Anime Expo, North America’s largest anime convention. This thesis concludes that anime would not have succeeded as it has in the United States without the heavy involvement of domestic animation fans. Fans created networks, clubs, and conventions that allowed for the exchange of information on anime, before Japanese companies started to officially release anime titles for distribution in the United States.

    Book Review: Only at Comic-Con: Hollywood, Fans, and the Limits of Exclusivity Hanna, Erin NEWARK: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2020

    Media Industries 7.2 (2020) Book Review: Only at Comic-Con: Hollywood, Fans, and the Limits of Exclusivity Hanna, Erin NEWARK: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2020. Tanya D. Zuk1 GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY tzuk1 [AT] gsu.edu Comic-Con International: San Diego, known colloquially as Comic-Con, is one of the largest and most influential fan conventions in the world. Comic-Con as an event and as a brand has impacted fandom, popular culture, and, more importantly, for Erin Hanna, the media industries in Hollywood. Since its inception, Comic-Con has been intertwined with the media industries: comic creators and industry professionals attended the very first conven- tion. Comic-Con has, however, expanded beyond comic books to include all popular media and has opened its doors to industry creatives, synergistic promotion, and audience testing, making Comic-Con a useful event for Hollywood’s buzz machine.2 Comic-Con, as both an exclusive event and a franchise, has made fan conventions widely popular (and lucrative) with both audiences and global pop- ular culture industries. In this book, Hanna explores how Hollywood studios and related industries foster the appeal of exclusivity as a means of promotion that exploits fan labor. Media Industries 7.2 (2020) In Only at Comic-Con, Erin Hanna uses a framework of exclusivity to dismantle the power structures embedded in fan conventions generally and Comic-Con specifically. According to Hanna, “exclusivity is not defined by presences at all, but by the power to produce absences.”3 Hanna outlines the power dynamics between media industry representatives and conven- tion organizers (and fans), between fans and convention staff, and between fans themselves.

    Tolkien Fandom Review from its beginnings to 1964 by Sumner Gary Hunnewell (Hildifons Took) 2010 Second Edition (August 2010) First Edition (June 2010) 50 copies © 2010, The New England Tolkien Society Sumner Gary Hunnewell (Hildifons Took) 2030 San Pedro Dr., Arnold, Missouri 63010 U.S.A. A Short Overview of Tolkien Fandom up to 1964 Although serious admirers and fans of Tolkien existed soon after the publication of The Fellowship of the Ring*, an organized Tolkien fandom as “The Fellowship of the Ring” sprung forth in a 49-minute meeting during the Pittsburgh Worldcon on September 4, 1960. A group of dedicated Los Angeles science fiction fans had been kicking around the idea of a Tolkien only club as early as 1959. As Ken Cheslin, the British agent of The Fellowship of the Ring, aptly put it “I would say that the Tolkein [sic] society [meaning The Fellowship of the Ring] wasn’t an offshoot…it consisted of fans who regarded JRR as, I think, a little something extra, a little area of interest IN ADDITTION [sic] to the then fandom, not an alternative or a replacement, substitute, etc.” The first controversy was what to call the group as some thought The Fellowship of the Ring was a bit ostentatious. Moreover, of course, there were rules. The people who formed the club would allow ‘Counsels’ created if there were five or more members in an area. Those people who provided accepted research papers would become members. Non-members could purchase the magazine. Although there was enthusiasm by Ted Johnstone (editor) and Bruce Pelz (publisher) of the group’s fanzine, I Palantir, for this level of scholarship and membership, no councils formed.
