This book argues that fansâ€™ creative works form a cognitive system; fanfic, fanvids, and gifs are not simply evidence of thinking, but acts of thinking. Drawing on work in cognitive linguistics, neuroscience, cognitive philosophy, and psychologyâ€”particularly focused on 4-E cognition, which rejects Cartesian dualismâ€“this project demonstrates that cognition is an embodied, emotional, and distributed act that emerges from fansâ€™ interactions with media texts, technological interfaces, and fan collectives. This mode of textual engagement is deeply physical, emotional, and social and is enacted through fanworks. By developing a theory of critical closeness, this book proposes a methodology for fruitfully putting cognitive science in conversation with fan studies.
