Ouais, Ouais
I'm currently writing an anthropology essay on what constitutes fandom. I found this quote and felt that it hit the proverbial spot:
'The literature on fandom, celebrity and media influence tells us that: 'Fans suffer from psychological inadequacy, and are particularly vulnerable to media influence and crowd contagion. They seek contact with famous people in order to compensate for their own inadequate lives. Because modern life is alienated and atomized, fans develop loyalties to celebrities and sports teams to bask in reflected glory, and attend rock concerts to feel an illusory sense of community' (Jenson, 1992: p.18).
Ah just a little too ironic for my liking.
Je suis inquiet, toutes les rues d'ici semblent avoir une maladie. Je ne suis pas docteur ès ville mais je crois bien que c'est l'ennui.
