Cult Media Studies

An online community for the academic study of cult media.

Welcome!

This website encourages the formation of a global network of students, academics, scholar-fans, and fan-scholars studying cult film, television, and other media. As online fan communities continue to thrive, likewise grows the need for a more cohesive community among those whose professional research interests actively span both fannish and academic quarters.

This site's centerpiece is a discussion forum for conversing about cult media studies and the objects of its analysis. The forum is divided into sections for General Discussion, Calls for Papers, and Off-Topic Discussion--all accessible via the "Forum" button in the main menu bar. Announcements of events, new releases, and calls for papers are welcomed. Selected events will be posted on the main page.

There is also a section of the site for uploading or embedding videos as visual aids or potential objects of interest for other members.

Members may also post blogs, photos, comments, or other content on their personal pages. You can send private messages to other members by clicking on the "Send a Message" button at the left side of each member's profile page. Received messages can be accessed via the Inbox link below the menu bar.
