Word: acafan Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Etymology tree Ancient Greek Ἀκάδημος (Akádēmos) Proto-Indo-European *-h₂ Proto-Indo-European *-éh₂ Proto-Indo-European *-i-eh₂ Proto-Hellenic *-íā Ancient Greek -ία (-ía) Ancient Greek Ἀκαδημία (Akadēmía) Proto-Indo-European *-kos Proto-Hellenic *-kos Ancient Greek -κός (-kós) Ancient Greek -ικός (-ikós) Ancient Greek Ἀκάδημος (Akádēmos) Proto-Indo-European *-os Proto-Indo-European *-ēs Ancient Greek -ης (-ēs) Proto-Indo-European *-is Proto-Indo-European *-h₂ Proto-Indo-European *-ih₂der. Ancient Greek -ῐᾰ (-ĭă) Ancient Greek -εια (-eia) Ancient Greek Ἀκαδήμεια (Akadḗmeia) ▲ Ancient Greek -ικός (-ikós) Ancient Greek ἀκαδημικός (akadēmikós)der. Medieval Latin acadēmicusder. ▲ Latin acadēmicusbor. French académiqueder. English academic Latin fānāticuslbor. ▲ French fanatiqueinflu. English fanatic English fancyinflu. English fan blend English acafan Blend of academic + fan. 1. An academic who self-identifies as a member of fandom. Labels: slang Example: [Flourish] Klink: Your story about the band member makes me think about fans' reactions to the academic articles they themselves are in. That's a productive comparison, I think - "fans are to acafen the way that band members are to RPF writers" - because I think it opens the door to discussing the competing ethical responsibilities we have. Part of defining oneself as an 'acafan,' I think, is about making an ethical commitment to the fan community, yes? Example: When Paul Cornell wrote in Licence Denied that 'Thomas Noonan was the first New Fanboy' to use lit crit readings and terminologies, tracking fans' 'Analysis' of the show made sense, but by 2013 multiple generations of New Fanboys, Fangirls, acafans and fan-scholars have got in on the act, making such analysis far more dispersed, diverse and differentiated.
Word: aca-fan Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of acafan. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Now, I think all of that work paved the way for a whole generation of aca-fen, as I like to call them; that is, people who are both academics and fans, for whom those identities are not problematic to mix and combine, and who are able then to write in a more open way about their experience of fandom without the “obligation of defensiveness,” without the need to defend the community. Example: As aca-fen who started our journeys as academics and members of media fandom at almost the same time (in 2002) and in the same place (Mumbai), we wanted to look back at the different experiences we’ve had while coming to terms with our identities as fans, and in particular as fans of color.
