摘要:The following discussion was held between 26 March and 5 April 2018 in Google Docs. The objective was to wrestle with key queries and issues revolving around research protocols and methodologies for scholars exploring internet-based fan cultures and practices. At the heart of these issues is how researchers might define ‘toxicity’ in relation to fan practices as well as the way in which scholars approach the study of fan cultures from various positions. Henry Jenkins kindly provided a series of insights regarding fundamentally important issues around defining certain fan practices as ‘toxic’ and these are included too for readers interested in further research into online territories.
