Dear readers,
P3 has had a good run. It served me well at the time that I put it up and for a respectable while after.
However, as I'm moving on in my career and fine-tuning my web presence, having a standalone blog is no longer really the way I want to go. Because of this, I'm going to stop publishing here at Politics, Popular Culture, Poststructuralism and continue the work of exploring these issues over at my new site, melstanfill.com.
All the same great content you loved the first time has already been migrated, and any new posts are going to be housed there on the blog page.
Unfortunately, I can't migrate my followers, so you'll have to follow me again over there. So head over and click the "Follow" button on the right side, and continue receiving the weekly insights you've come to expect from me.
I know there are a lot of things on the Web to read. Thanks for choosing me.
Mel.

About Me
- Mel
- I am a PhD Candidate in the Institute of Communications Research at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My work examines the changing relationship between media companies and their fans in the Internet era. In this, I consider how fandom has become normalized--both in the sense that activities formerly the province of fans have become normal for all consumers, and in the sense that a normative idea of fandom has emerged that traces out proper and improper modes of being a fan. I study both cult media fans and sports fans and examine both representations of fans and the design of official websites for media properties (television shows, sports franchises, etc.). My key concerns include the relationship of fandom to heternormativity, whiteness, consumption, and labor. This site is a place for brief ruminations on current events, theories, and other things, as well as a place to preview some of the things I'm working on.
