Research on the 'Mud Sculpting' Behavior of Female Fans in Fan Communities from a Feminist Perspective
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, research on fan culture has gradually become a hot topic in fields such as sociology and cultural studies. Among fan communities, the "mud sculpting" behavior of female fans—referring to their actions of transforming and recreating idol images to fulfill their emotional needs - is particularly noteworthy. This behavior not only reflects the deep emotional attachment female fans have to their idols, but also, to some extent, embodies their subjectivity in cultural production. Therefore, this article will explore the deeper significance of female fans' "mud sculpting" behavior from a feminist perspective.
