The other thing about what you're after, OP, is that there's no necessary connection between it and what fandom generally does and is about, which is mostly the analysis of fictional texts. The kind of topic and the kind of line of enquiry you're talking about are, as you say, exercises in aesthetic philosophy, and obviously that's very closely related to textual analysis (and I know I wish that frameworks for analysing character in particular thought much, much more rigorously about that kind of question than most of them currently do) - but when you're working at that high a level of abstraction, any thoughts and conclusions you generate aren't necessarily going to be that useful in terms of actually analysing fictional texts. As fascinating a question as it may be in its own right, there's a limit to how far a theory of how and why a set of signs becomes an image of a human can be used to understand processes of characterisation in a specific text. So disregarding the "shallowness" or otherwise of fandom practices, it seems to me that while there's no reason that the kind of discussion you want can't happen in fandom (and I'm with you, I wish it would happen more often generally), there's no real reason to expect it would, either. Just different remits, is all.

...I'm going to shut up about this now. It's been really interesting to think about, anyway, and thank you for that, OP :)
