<p>Cnhidalgo: Yap, Yap, and Away! Oral Histories on Becoming a Richard Yap Fan</p> <hr /> <div>ABSTRACT<br /> <br /> Hidalgo, C.N.N. (2014). Yap, Yap, and Away! Oral Stories on Becoming a Richard Yap Fan (Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis). University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication, Diliman, Quezon City.<br /> <br /> <br /> This exploratory study seeks to answer the question “How does one become a<br /> fan?” through the gathering of detailed fandom accounts. Fandom is a subculture based on interpretive activities concerning media texts (Jenkins, 2001). To understand how a fan becomes one, this study was guided by Jacobson’s insight into fandom being a product of the individual and the larger collectivity of fandom (2003).<br /> <br /> Using the oral history interview method, I gathered the stories of three Richard<br /> Yap fans. Models of role and social identity were used, along with hermeneutic analysis, to discover and give meaning to the processes, themes, and manifestations involved in their fandom.<br /> <br /> The data was arranged chronologically, detailing the fans’ foray into fandom. It<br /> was discovered that first, being a fan was made easier with the advent of the internet and social media. Second, an individual’s fandom would not exist without the influence of other people. Lastly, fandom is not a one-time decision, but rather, it is a continuous choice maintained by the object of fandom and the fandom group.<br /> <br /> [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/flipbook/viewer/?fb=2010-29816-HIDALGO-#page-1 View Thesis]<br /> <br /> [[Category: CMC Thesis]][[Category:Theses]][[Category: Department of Broadcast Communication]][[Category:2014 Thesis]]</div>
