PARASOCIALIZE

An event or moment · 1976 · Fandom

Convention culture

Fan conventions as a permanent global circuit, with panels, dealers rooms, cosplay and a trade layer.

Application

The first parasocial economy. Panels are a person answering questions from an audience that has paid to be in the room, and the dealers room is the first marketplace that exists because of the bond rather than beside it.
