  • Follow the trope

    Open AccessMilena PopovaARTICLETransformative Works and Cultures2020

    In this paper I investigate the methodological challenges posed by the intersection of two factors commonly found in some types of fan studies research: studying a community one is already a member of and that community existing in a digital setting. I propose an approach shaped by traditional ethnography, digital ethnography, and autoethnography that is theoretically grounded, takes into account both practical and theoretical issues, and seeks t…

  • Interview with Louisa Ellen Stein

    Open AccessJulia E Largent, Milena Popova et al.ARTICLETransformative Works and Cultures2020

    Fan studies scholar Louisa Ellen Stein discusses her journey into felt scholarship and whole self scholarship in fan studies.

    If you have been paying any attention to current events over the last decade or so, but particularly over the course of 2020, you may have noticed that any kind of social consensus on what truth is

  • Reading out of context

    Milena PopovaARTICLEPorn Studies2019Citada por: 5Referencias: 10

    In this article I bring together perspectives from porn studies, celebrity studies and fan studies to bear on the issue of pornographic deepfakes. I identify two key questions that the literature from these areas leads to with regards to deepfakes: to what extent are they a form of audience engagement with celebrity that seeks to access a private, intimate or authentic person behind the star image; and to what extent are deepfakes created for cir…

  • Dogfuck rapeworld’

    Milena PopovaARTICLEPorn Studies2018Referencias: 13

    This article examines the Omegaverse – a subgenre of sexually explicit fanfiction – and its engagement with issues of socially constructed power differentials and sexual consent. I argue that sexually explicit fanfiction, and the Omegaverse in particular, can be used as a critical tool to examine the relationship between power and consent in accessible ways which allow for affective, emotional and intellectual engagement with these issues. I appr…

  • Inactionable/Unspeakable

    Milena PopovaARTICLEJournal of Bisexuality2017Citada por: 8Referencias: 7

    In this article I argue that inclusion of bisexual employees in workplace contexts is hindered by the interaction of two key factors. On the one hand, bisexuality is frequently “invisible” diversity based predominantly around identity, whereas workplaces are action-oriented environments. On the other hand, where bisexuality becomes “actionable” in a workplace context (e.g., in its intersections with polyamory), it is insufficiently conformist or …
