The fandom of David Bowie: everyone says "hi"
Built from stories and memories shared by self-defined David Bowie fans, this
book explores how Bowie existed as a figure of renewal and redemption,
resonating in particular with those marginalized by culture and society. Sean
Redmond and Toija Cinque draw on personal interviews, memorabilia, diaries,
letters, communal gatherings and shared conversation to find out why Bowie
mattered so much to the fans that idolized him. Within the context of the
contemporary media landscape, the book also determines the nature of the
present digital conversations taking place about David Bowie, and focuses on
seven geographical and intergenerational clusters to explore site-specific fandom.
Contextualising the identification streams that have emerged around David
Bowie, the book highlights his remarkable influence.
