IAPS is hosting a session at this year’s Pacific APA. The Pacific APA is being held in Portland, March 20-23, 2024
The session is Friday March 22, 2024, 7-9 pm.
Topic: Explaining Sports Fandom: Sports fandom as collaborative fiction
Peter Kung and I will present our paper that explains sports fandom as a form of collaborative fiction. Drawing on Kendall Walton’s imagination-based theory of art and its application to sports, we develop a theory that can explain why we (fans) react and care as we do about sports.
If you are attending the APA in Portland, we hope to see you there!
For those interested, here’s the handout for the talk.
A portion of the sale will help me run this site.
