Whether it’s fans creating friendship-bracelets to exchange at Taylor Swift concerts, dressing up in pink because of Barbie, or dancing to Anitta’s hit Envolver on TikTok, fans trying to end Britney Spears’ conservatorship… pop culture and its fandoms are thriving in today’s Creative Industries. In this special issue of the Brazilian Creative Industries Journal, we aim to explore the intersection of Pop Cultures, Fan Studies, and the Creative Industries. We invite and encourage submissions discussing recent developments linking these themes together. We are interested in papers that explore the following topics, but are not limited to them:

• Pop culture, fandom and new technologies or platforms in the Creative Industries
• Pop culture, fandom, and globalization in the Creative Industries
We particularly encourage submissions that discuss these topics from diverse perspectives and parts of the world, using a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. We are also interested in papers that are creative and innovative in their presentation.
