I chose fan as my keywords. I introduced how people change their understanding of fan and the origin of this word. I explain fandom and concert to show how fans as nodes connect each other online and offline. Then I show how fans related to technology through virtual idols and online concerts. Fan is a really controversial word. Many people have a bias toward this subculture. They think it is childish and vulgar. What I want to show is that this is not just a simple group. It is a subculture of community that is powerful. It is more complex than many people think about it. They have their own production line for them to make revenue and own rules to manage their commonality on different social media. Being a fan of something or someone can become a source of power for people to learn and expose to many new things. Also, this word is interesting since it can relate to many keywords we learn from class like assemblage, technology, gaze, and so on. Hope my map can provide a new lens to see this subculture.
