Matt Hills has criticized the first generation of fan rsearchers, myself included, for pulling back from the affective dimensions of fandom in favor of a focus on the cognitive dimensitons of meaning production. Meaning in that sense is divorced from the emotional investments fans make in particular texts or in their own cultural practices. Fans would reject such a clear separation between feelings and thoughts: their favored texts are both tools for thought and spaces for emotional exploration. I see the ssays in this section as struggling to find critical language and rhetorical forms that communicate those investments to readers who are not part of the communities being described. 引自 Introduction
