My thesis, co-supervised by Prof. Georgina Born and Dr. William Kelly (Anthropology), explores the importance of live performances and associated ‘offline’ practices within Japanese Idol Pop fandoms in relation to the digital online practices surrounding the music itself. In doing so I hope to explore the overlap between ‘online’ and ‘offline’ fan practises and add to the narratives of digital fandom, whilst retaining a concern for the local, tangible and socio-cultural context.
