本研究以英國－愛爾蘭男子偶像團體 One Direction 的迷群為研究對象，以 James W. Carey（1992）的傳播儀式觀為核心理論視角，探討One Direction於 2016 年進入休團後，在團體長期缺乏官方文本產出的情況下，迷如何透過日常媒介實踐、情感記憶與社群互動，持續維繫對團體的情感連結與身份認同。相較於過去多數偶像研究聚焦於團體活躍時期的文本生產、媒體再現與迷消費，本研究關注的是當官方產製中斷後，迷如何在缺乏新集體文本的情況下，仍持續保存、重述並再生產與團體相關的情感經驗。
研究發現，One Direction 的休團並未使偶像與迷群關係就此終止，反而形成一種未完成的敘事狀態，對團體重聚的等待與期待成為迷群情感延續的重要基礎。迷透過反覆聆聽歌曲、觀看舊有影像、參與團體週年紀念與慶祝成員生日等行動，將過去的團體文本轉化為日常生活中的情感儀式，並在一次次的重複實踐中重新確認自身與團體以及與其他迷之間的連結，使持續參與成為一種日常化且儀式化的存在方式。
其中，社群平台成為迷群保存集體記憶與延續情感共同體的重要場域。迷群透過按讚、轉發、留言、Hashtag 與回憶性貼文等形式，持續召喚並重述 One Direction 的共同記憶。這些實踐不只是對過去的懷舊，也是一種主動的情感再生產，透過影像、音樂與社群貼文，產生彷彿共同經歷過那段歷史的參與感。同時，成員個人的事業也成為休團後情感延續的重要載體。在支持成員個人音樂作品與演藝發展的過程中，也將對團體的情感延伸至個別成員身上，使團體記憶得以在個人事業中持續被維繫，而非被取代。

This study examines the fandom of the British-Irish boy band One Direction, whose fans are known as Directioner, through the theoretical lens of James W. Carey’s ritual view of communication. It explores how fans continue to sustain their emotional connection to the band and their identity as Directioner through everyday media practices, affective memories, and social media interactions after One Direction entered an indefinite hiatus in 2016, followed by a prolonged absence of new official group content. While most previous studies on idol fandom have focused on textual production, media representation, and fan consumption during a band’s active period, this study shifts attention to how the fandom continues to preserve, re-narrate, and reproduce affective experiences related to the band after official content production has slowed down and new collective texts are no longer produced.
The findings show that the hiatus did not bring the relationship between One Direction and their fandom to an end. Instead, the hiatus created a sense of an unfinished story, in which waiting and anticipation for a possible reunion became important foundations for sustaining the fandom’s emotional attachment to the band. By replaying old songs and videos, marking anniversaries, and celebrating members’ birthdays, fans transform past group texts into affective rituals embedded in everyday life.
Furthermore, social media has played a central role in keeping the One Direction fandom active after the hiatus. Through likes, reposts, comments, hashtags, and nostalgic posts, fans continue to bring shared memories of the band back into circulation. These practices are not simply expressions of nostalgia; they also allow fans to keep the band emotionally present in their everyday lives. Meanwhile, the members’ solo careers also offered fans another way to remain connected to the band. By supporting the members’ individual music and entertainment projects, fans carry their love for One Direction into the members’ separate careers, allowing the memory of the band to continue rather than be replaced.
