Through the utilization of case studies, Evans and Guo explore different perspectives on fandom, translation and their intersections. These case studies touch on imperative topics in fan culture, such as fan translation in queer communities and media as a method of community building and the interrelation between fan and professional translation, leading to ongoing changes in media distribution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Evans\u003c\/b\u003e is Reader in Translation Studies at the University of Glasgow, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTing Guo\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Chinese and Translation Studies at the University of Liverpool, UK.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377610023219,"sku":"9798765113653","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bPxFsL9TNG9798765113653.webp?v=1779325972","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/fan-translations-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
