Fan studies may well have succeeded in propelling an inoculating shot of ’fannish investment’ into the arm of the academic body politic, but Kuhn suggests that science fiction ‘buffs’ and academics ‘probably’ cannot be seen as fully sharing an evaluative system. Here, fandom is imagined as being linked to the connotatively ‘popular’, while academia is distinguished by its greater display of ‘cultural capital’ and its distaste for commercially successful science fiction blockbusters (see Hills 2002: 46–64 on the work of Pierre Bourdieu). In what follows, I will argue that such presuppositions need to be contested, and that ‘university teachers’ and cult fans of Blade Runner may be rather more similar than dissimilar in their reading practices.
