From Fanny Elsßler’s shoe to the concept of transformative works: What is a fan and what does fandom mean? Which conceptions of subjectivity fuel specific modes of presentation and how does participation – subversive as well as affirmative – change the relationship between production and reception? How will notions like authorship or oeuvre have to be rethought against the backdrop of democratic structures (fair use) and legal aspects (copyright)? Is there an inherent possibility in fandom and fan works to grasp creative contexts as a form of cultural acting? How do these questions invite the development of new theoretical frameworks?
