Dr Markus Wohlfeil holds an MBS (by research only) and a PhD from Waterford Institute of Technology/Ireland. I'm a self-confessed film buff and devoted fan of the film actress Jena Malone, my research interests are in the fields of celebrity fandom, the experiential consumption of films, film tourism, film marketing and the filmed entertainment anf music industries in general. Moreover, as punk has played a major role in growing up and my life thereafter, I have become fascinated by its many inherent and often contradictory myths, stereotypes and stories and decided to go onto an (auto-)ethnographic journey into the different punk subcultures and communities.

Hoping that someone may be interested in reading his work, Markus has already published in a variety of academic journals and conference proceedings as well as a research monograph on celebrity fans and their consumer behaviour.
