  • Metacognition and Multimodal Literacy: Adolescents Constructing
    Metacognition and Multimodal Literacy: Adolescents Constructing Meaning from Multimodal Texts by Margaret Ann Shane A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Secondary Education University of Alberta © Margaret Ann Shane, 2019 Abstract Conventional wisdom holds that adolescents are somehow naturally adroit at the selection, navigation, consumption, and creation of online texts; that they are more likely to be engaged by multimodal and online texts than by printed material. School boards and the teaching profession are heavily invested in rhetorical celebrations of such technology as a means to improve student achievement based on assumptions about how teens read multimodal, online texts. This study explores how young people aged 12-18 engage with online multimodal texts, both familiar texts of their own choosing and novel titles presented by the researcher. Specifically, this study aims to understand which metacognitive strategies study participants demonstrated during three successive online reading sessions. To this end, this study undertook to answer the following research questions. What is the level of metacognitive awareness exhibited by youth while engaging with multimodal texts? Which traditional print reading practices are identifiable in participants’ reports of their metacognitive strategies? Which metacognitive skills are exhibited by young people while exploring “the semiotic landscape” (Kress & Van Leeuwen, 2005, p. 16)? The research questions aim to shed light on how adolescents employ metacognitive awareness, knowledge, and control in their construction of subjective socially and culturally mediated meaning. Are adolescents effectively engaging with these texts? Are these texts helping or hindering student learning? A secondary interest pertains to the pedagogical environment in which students engage with online multimodal texts.

  • Music of Yesterday for the Youth of Today
    Music of Yesterday for the Youth of Today While writing this contest, we here at Good Time in Vegas wanted to make sure the youth of today could get our songs for the on-airs - after all, kids today probably know Lil’ Jon better than Little Richard. But that ends today! Just for you, we’re going to ask about songs that were probably released during your lifetimes (20 years ago, for the most part) that reference, sample, parody, or even steal the hits of yesteryear! Part 1: Questions 1. The first song covered by Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox that wasn’t released in the 21st century was what Guns ‘n’ Roses song? 2. Skee-Lo stops wishing in “I Wish” long enough to say, “Hey, you, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down.” This line is an allusion to what protest song, also sampled in Public Enemy’s “He Got Game”? 3. Melanie Martinez name-drops and samples Lesley Gore’s “It’s My Party” in what song? 4. Somehow hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, “Butterfly” by Crazy Town samples the instrumental “Pretty Little Ditty.” This is from what band’s 1989 album Mother’s Milk? ​ 5. #1 around the same time as “Butterfly”, “Angel” by Shaggy uses TWO samples! One is the bassline from a Steve Miller Band song and the other is the chorus medley from a song that charted highest with Juice Newton. Name either song. 6. The 2014 Tony-nominated musical Beautiful (including a Best Leading Actress win for ​ ​ Jessie Mueller) documents the life of what musician? 7.

    Copyright by Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn 2017 The Report Committee for Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn Certifies that this is the approved version of the following report: Transformative Gameplay Practices: Speedrunning through Hyrule APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: Suzanne Scott Kathy Fuller-Seeley Transformative Gameplay Practices: Speedrunning through Hyrule by Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn, B.S. Comm Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2017 Dedication Dedicated to my father, Ben Hilburn, the first gamer I ever watched. Abstract Transformative Gameplay Practices: Speedrunning Through Hyrule Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2017 Supervisor: Suzanne Scott The term “transformative” gets used in both fan studies and video game studies and gestures toward a creative productivity that goes beyond simply consuming a text. However, despite this shared term, game studies and fan studies remain fairly separate in their respective examination of fans and gamers, in part due to media differences between video games and more traditional media, like television. Bridging the gap between these two fields not only helps to better explain transformative gameplay, but also offers additional insights in how fans consume texts, often looking for new ways to experience the source text. This report examines the transformative gameplay practices found within video game fan communities and provides an overview of their development and spread. It looks at three facets of transformative gameplay, performance, mastery, and education, using the transformative gameplay practices around The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) as a primary case study.

  • Evolution of the Youtube Personas Related to Survival Horror Games
    Toniolo EVOLUTION OF THE YOUTUBE PERSONAS RELATED TO SURVIVAL HORROR GAMES FRANCESCO TONIOLO CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF MILAN ABSTRACT The indie survival horror game genre has given rise to some of the most famous game streamers on YouTube, especially titles likes Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Frictional Games 2010), Slender: The Eight Pages (Parsec Productions 2012), and Five Nights at Freddy’s (Scott Cawthon 2014). The games are strongly focused on horror tropes including jump scares and defenceless protagonists, which lend them to displays of overemphasised emotional reactions by YouTubers, who use them to build their online personas in a certain way. This paper retraces the evolution of the relationship between horror games and YouTube personas, with attention to in-game characters and gameplay mechanics on the one hand and the practices of prominent YouTube personas on the other. It will show how the horror game genre and related media, including “Let’s play” videos, animated fanvids, and “creepypasta” stories have influenced prominent YouTuber personas and resulted in some changes in the common processes of persona formation on the platform. KEY WORDS Survival Horror; Video Game; YouTube; Creepypasta; Fanvid; Let’s Play INTRODUCTION Marshall & Barbour (2015, p. 7) argue that “Game culture consciously moves the individual into a zone of production and constitution of public identity”. Similarly, scholars have studied – with different foci and levels of analysis – the relationships between gamers and avatars in digital worlds or in tabletop games by using the concept of “persona” (McMahan 2003; Waskul & Lust 2004; Isbister 2006; Frank 2012). Often, these scholars were concerned with online video games such as World of Warcraft (Filiciak 2003; Milik 2017) or famous video game icons like Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series (McMahan 2008).

December 2019 Title: The Dynamic Game Character: Definition, Construction, and Challenges in a Character Ecology Candidate: Joleen Blom Supervisor: Espen Aarseth Evaluation Committee: Martin Pichlmair IT University of Copenhagen Rachael Hutchinson University of Delaware Akinori Nakamura Ritsumeikan University This research has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant Agreement No [695528] – Making Sense of Games). ii Abstract This study presents a theory about dynamic game characters within a broader character ecology in which characters are constantly produced and reproduced in a variety of media. Characters do not appear only in games, they migrate from one medium to another. They are independent from any medium in particular: a character does not require a specific medium to come into existence. Authoritative forces try to shape the overall interpretation of circulating characters transmedially in comics, television series, films, games and more through different venues of control, such as authorship, canonisation and ownership or intellectual property. This study addresses the struggle for interpretive authority by explaining
