About

Wallea Eaglehawk is an Australian sociologist, author, and cultural critic whose work explores how people, symbols, and systems shape one another. She writes at the intersection of sociology, mythology, and media studies, tracing how culture, emotion, and imagination intertwine to form modern identities.

As the founder and CEO of Revolutionaries, a respected independent micro-publisher, Wallea has built a home for radical and visionary voices across nonfiction, cultural criticism, and literature. Under her direction, the press has published acclaimed writers including Clementine Morrigan and continues to expand its reputation for daring, deeply human work that challenges dominant narratives.

Her first book, Idol Limerence: The art of loving BTS as phenomena (2020), established her as a distinctive voice in fandom studies and cultural sociology. Her forthcoming works include Iconicism (2026), a landmark exploration of how cultural icons are made and remembered, and The Shape of Hunger, her debut novel. Wallea also co-edited and contributed to Eco-Activism and Social Work: New Directions in Leadership and Group Work (Routledge, 2020), bridging her sociological and eco-ethical foundations with her creative practice.

Beyond publishing, she leads The BTS Theorist, an influential platform devoted to examining BTS, fandom, and cultural mythmaking. Across her projects, Wallea’s work blends rigorous theory with emotional insight, investigating what it means to love, believe, and belong in an age of saturation and spectacle.

Her current body of work includes Artist, Being—a reflective series on art, process, and the philosophy of becoming—and Into Being, a new essay collection exploring the interdependence of the nervous system, ecosystem, and solar system.

Wallea’s writing and publishing practice centres on one question: How do we create meaning together in a fractured world? Whether through her books, essays, or community platforms, she continues to fuse scholarship, activism, and artistry into a single evolving inquiry—an invitation to think, feel, and imagine otherwise.
