Harry Potter Fandom and Narratives of Inequality in the United States Presidential Election of 2016
P. 72–87.
Pronkina E., Medvedev S.
The narrative of inequality has always played a prominent role in the
way the Harry Potter fandom reflects on the issues of the actual world. This
essay explores how Harry Potter fans negotiated the 2016 United States pres-
idential race and made sense of their own political participation by using
representations of inequality from the Harry Potter storyworld. We argue
that the Harry Potter universe has effectively transcended the realm of pure
fantasy and become a site of political r e- imagining, engagement and activism.
We begin with conceptualizing inequality to see what types of inequality are
present in J.K. Rowling’s story about “the boy who lived.”

Cultural structures can organize experience either independently of time—‘transversely’ to its flow—or temporally—‘longitudinally’ along it. Most existing concepts—binaries, codes, norms—represent the former. Temporal structuring is much less theorized. While sociologists frequently invoke ‘narratives,’ they often use the term loosely, as a more evocative synonym for beliefs or values (e.g., ‘ecological narrative’). Recent work in pragmatism ...
