  • the very level of complexity so characteristic of protagonists is the primary cause of their tendency to arouse boredom in the readers/viewers. Since his or her persona was so thoroughly explored in fiction, very little is left to the imagination of the reader/viewer.
  • No matter how fascinating a person the protagonist may be, it's simply more interesting for the reader/viewer to ponder the background and character of the more minor roles

  • I notice, though, that many (all?) of the fic archives where Harry appears in stories as a participant, are very quick to note in their intro the age of consent in the UK, though usually they just say it's 16 which as noted above is slightly inaccurate. This is interesting, or maybe only I find it so.  It looks to me as if they don't want to be considered to be peddling paedophilia, which would be an accusation the newspapers (for instance) might make.

fan_fiction language literature narrative fanficforensics phd

  • The prevalence of such curious language use led me to think that fan-writers must have influenced one another’s diction because they read so much of one another’s writing, with the result that they incorporated the idiosyncratic as the norm.
  • These are only surface manifestations.  There are deeper phenomena.  The foremost is that the world inhabited by the characters in some fan fiction reflects the limited experiences of the writers. 
  • There is nothing wrong with this if the characters are from the American middle class.  Unfortunately, many popular shows feature people not acculturated in such a milieu—Methos, Duncan MacCleod of the Clan MacCleod, Benton Fraser, Harry Potter, Snape, Tom Paris, Chakotay, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon. . . .  Consequently, the specter of these characters spouting psychobabble is disconcerting, to say the very least.

  • Fanfiction puts narrative back in the hands of the people! It's a folkloric art! It helps us go from being passive consumers of media to active participants in creating the archetypes of our culture!

    # Diversion - a media text which provides an escape from reality. When a media text temporarily partially covers one's senses. For example playing a video game. # Personal relationships - People create personal relationships with the characters in a media text, they start to feel they know them. This can become dangerous if people start to trust them as well, for example if one trusted a news reporter too much they may take everything they say at face value and not question it, this trust could then be abused. # Personal identity - When a person creates part of their own identity from things they find attractive in people from media texts, for example someone may have a haircut because they liked the look of a similar one in a magazine. This can go a long way in shaping people and people's ideas of values, norms, ideologies and fashions. # Surveillance - the audience gain an understanding of the world around them by consuming a media text, for example print and broadcast news.

semiotics

shared by Nele Noppe on 19 Aug 08 - Cached
  • Social semiotics is a branch of the field of semiotics which investigates human signifying practices in specific social and cultural circumstances, and which tries to explain meaning-making as a social practice.
  • The crucial implication here is that meanings and semiotic systems are shaped by relations of power, and that as power shifts in society, our languages and other systems of socially accepted meanings can and do change.
  • This altered focus shows how individual creativity, changing historical circumstances, and new social identities and projects can all change patterns of usage and design

  • This term is used to suggest that evolution is an ideology such as creationism and other "-isms". In this way, creationists support their claim that the scientific theory of evolution is in its basics a belief, dogma, ideology or even a religion, rather than a scientific theory

      should any theory be considered/referred to as an 'ism' for the purpose of fostering debate (NOT to demean any particular theory or framework)?

theory fanficforensics phd

shared by Nele Noppe on 19 Aug 08 - Cached
  • Reductionism can either mean (a) an approach to understanding the nature of complex things by reducing them to the interactions of their parts, or to simpler or more fundamental things or (b) a philosophical position that a complex system is nothing but the sum of its parts, and that an account of it can be reduced to accounts of individual constituents.[1] This can be said of objects, phenomena, explanations, theories, and meanings.

      Is this too easy/narrow an approach?

  • In fact it is great fun to try to pry apart the musical and lyrical inspirations and underpinnings of all the great songs, or better yet to stumble upon what is obviously an immediate genetic predecessor of an “original” song that you love.
  • None of this takes into account that songs can also get their genetic material from movies, books, poems, even paintings.
  • Perhaps what I do should be called “song-composting,” “song-mulching,” “song-smoothie-ing,” something like that. Or you could just call it “ripping off” and take me to court. I’d probably lose.
