  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2015
    Jan 15 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 161st birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 7 to Jan. 11. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Alan Bradley, co-author of MS. HOLMES OF BAKER STREET (2004), and author of the award-winning "Flavia de Luce" series; the title of his talk was "Ha! The Stars Are Out and the Wind Has Fallen" (his paper will be published in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal). The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's Restaurant was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton and An- drew Joffe) entertained the audience with an updated version of "The Sher- lock Holmes Cable Network" (2000). The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Ser- pentine Muse last year: the winner (Jenn Eaker) received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's traditional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportunities to browse and buy.

  • Group No.: S17-ENG-K11 Mikkel Hill Larsen (48842) Pelle Imlau
    Group No.: S17-ENG-K11 Supervisor: Ebbe Klitgård Mikkel Hill Larsen (48842) No. Of characters: 69093 (28,8 pages) Pelle Imlau-Jeppesen (49647) Language: English K3 English F2017 Roskilde University ABSTRACT This project investigates how the antagonist James Moriarty has been portrayed as a villain in Guy Ritchie’s motion picture Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) and the BBC TV Series Sherlock (2010-2017). Through a thematic analysis focusing on the subjects we have called “The Antagonist in Motion” and “Homoerocity and emotions in BBC’s Sherlock”, the project concludes the following: the film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows creates a much more contrastive relationship between villain and hero, which can be seen as a way of incorporating the social class dynamics of Conan Doyle’s original text. However, in adapting this dynamic for a 21st century audience, the villain of Moriarty is first and foremost portrayed as a corrupt businessman rather than an elitist socialite or plain revengeful evildoer. In the BBC series the characters of Sherlock and Jim share an intimate relationship due to their many likenesses. Jim is a fluid character that navigates both gender, sexuality and personality. As a villain Jim is presented as a seductive psychopath that has no desire of money or power but has an ultimate goal of breaking Sherlock. Page 1 of 40 NOTE TO THE READER Throughout the project we will for convenience sake refer to Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) as A Game of Shadows and the BBC series Sherlock (2010-2017) as Sherlock (in italic).

  • Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's Great Game of Fandom: Investigating The
    Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat’s Great Game of Fandom: Investigating the Creator-Text-Fan Relationship of BBC’s A Thesis Presented to the Department of Communication and Arts at Roskilde University In Partial Fulfilment of Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts English & Communication Presented by Marie Sophie Kindler [email protected] / [email protected] Studienr.: 58727 Under the Supervision of Ebbe Klitgård Submitted on 28th of June 2017 Abstract This thesis is investigating the reciprocal relationship between author, text and fan. Approaching the modern realisation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes phenomenon, this thesis focusses on BBC’s television series Sherlock. Written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the show is critically acclaimed for its accomplishment to update the Victorian stories without losing its loyalty to the source text. Because of its production approach, the series is particularly interesting for participatory audiences, which is why it gathered an enormous fanbase. Additionally to their intertextual adaptation approach (that references previous interpretations as much as the canon itself), Gatiss and Moffat’s self- declared “fanboyness” attracts fans who celebrate the co-writers for their fannish motivation. However, the ambiguity of Gatiss and Moffat’s fan-producer behaviour has considerably blurred the lines between official production and fandom. Therefore, discursive-struggles between the fans and the co-writers testify the important role of authors for fan audiences. While the fans acknowledge Gatiss and Moffat’s creative power, they contest the ways in which it is wielded. This becomes apparent by looking at the queerbaiting controversy that unleashed in January 2017, shortly after Sherlock’s final episode.
