Abstract "This book delves into the world of 'fandom nationalism', where the lines between fan devotion and nationalistic fervour blur within the East Asian media landscape. This book challenges conventional understandings of fandom nationalism, arguing that fans strategically employ nationalism as a weapon to win fan wars. This enriches the concept of fandom nationalism, exploring how nationalism and collective anger are channelled in fan practices to exact revenge on despised celebrities. This book illuminates the connection and distinction between fans and nationalist citizens, showcasing the ways in which fans can perform patriotism through collective actions"-- Provided by publisher.
