Analysing Online Postings: Exploring Television Fandom and Identity

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

This dataset demonstrates an approach for analysing online postings. This data is drawn from fieldwork study of television fandom by Dr. Rebecca Williams from the University of South Wales, and details fan responses to final episodes of television programmes Lost and The West Wing. The example will be most useful for those interested in using online surveys, and encourages thinking about analysing material in terms of how people discuss their fandom and identity. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
