Understanding the power dynamics between media producers and fans is critical in analyzing contemporary media contexts. This knowledge informs discussions on media literacy, audience agency, and cultural critique, thereby enriching the academic discourse on media practices.
Examinations will assess candidates' ability to articulate their understanding of concepts such as normalization, cooptation, and resistance. Emphasis will be placed on specific examples that illustrate these concepts within fandom dynamics.
Candidates are encouraged to bring forth case studies to demonstrate their understanding of how fan practices assert agency against dominant media narratives.
