The article examines the theoretical and methodological orientations and substantive scope of Anglo-phone fan studies in 1992, treating them as part of the first wave of scholarship on fans and fandoms. It offers a reconsideration of the influential conceptualization of the first-wave fan studies advanced by J. Gray, C. Sandvoss, and C. L. Harrington. More specifically, it argues that the methodological approaches characteristic of fan studies in 1992 cannot be adequately reduced to Michel de Certeau’s notion of “poaching.” Likewise, the field’s object of inquiry extended beyond fandom understood as a community of collective interpreters and included the intrapersonal motivations of individual fans. It further suggests that the conceptual boundaries of the first wave as a whole were drawn largely through the prism of Henry Jenkins’s influential understanding of fandom as a participatory community. The study is of interest to the scholars in media studies, cultural studies, sociology of culture, and communication studies, as well as to the researchers of fan communities and popular culture.
