Recensioner i media

“Linden and Linden offer a well-organized and executed analysis of what it means to be a fan in a world driven by the dissolution of transnational and transcultural borders, a neoliberal market in which everything—especially fan labor—can be capitalized upon, and an anxiety-fueled experience economy.” (Alexandra Fong, Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences, Issue 13, 2020)
