Decolonising Fan Studies: A Bibliography-In-Progress is a bibliography of fan studies resources and publications originally created and maintained by scholar Rukmini Pande. It is hosted as a Google doc, and was originally created on June 20, 2017. Pande shared the document on Twitter again in response to a February 2019 discussion of the whiteness of fan studies.[1]
In the introduction, Pande notes that the bibliography includes works written by "writers outside academia who do not have institutional support and indeed for whom academia is actively hostile," as well as works published in traditional academic publications.[2]
This is (obviously) a non-exhaustive list that is meant to grow with time and crowdsourcing. While some titles have direct relevance to Fan and Audience studies, some are aimed at a more broad methodology of acknowledging the effects of race/racism and colonialism into our research practices and institutional structures. I have also included links to other collections of resources and reading lists to further nuance these readings in turn.[3]
The bibliography is divided into the following sections:
- Theoretical Approaches
- Gender/Sexuality/Race
- Fandom and Race/racism: Critical Commentary Online
- Race/racism/postcolonialism in the Digital Age
- Science Fiction and Fantasy
