  • Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading a Dissertation
    "I Opened a Book and in I Strode": Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Ashley J. Barner April 2016 © 2016 Ashley J. Barner. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled "I Opened a Book and in I Strode": Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading by ASHLEY J. BARNER has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Robert Miklitsch Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BARNER, ASHLEY J., Ph.D., April 2016, English "I Opened a Book and in I Strode": Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading Director of Dissertation: Robert Miklitsch This dissertation studies imaginative reading and its relationship to fanfiction. Imaginative reading is a practice that involves engaging the imagination while reading, mentally constructing a picture of the characters and settings described in the text. Readers may imaginatively watch and listen to the narrated action, using imagination to recreate the characters’ sensations and emotions. To those who frequently read this way, imagining readers, the text can become, through the work of imagination, a play or film visualized or entered. The readers find themselves inside the world of the text, as if transported to foreign lands and foreign eras, as if they have been many different people, embodied in many different fictional characters. By engaging imaginatively and emotionally with the text, the readers can enter into the fictional world: the settings seem to them like locations they can visit, the many characters like roles they can inhabit or like real people with whom they can interact as imaginary friends and lovers.

  • Amicus Est Une Production Cinématographique Britannique Basée À Shepperton Studios En Angleterre
    Amicus est une production cinématographique britannique basée à Shepperton Studios en Angleterre. Elle a été fondée par le producteur et scénariste américain Milton Subotsky et Max Rosenberg . Amicus est mieux connu pour ces films d’horreurs d’anthologies, bien que leurs deux premiers films étaient des comédies musicales pour le marché des adolescents : C'est Trad, papa! (1962) et Just for Fun (1963). Toutefois, avant la création d'Amicus les deux producteurs avaient collaborés à un film d’horreur de 1960 La Cité des morts. Ces films sont généralement dotés de quatre, parfois cinq histoires d'horreur reliées les unes aux autres par une intrigue globale avec un narrateur et ceux qui écoutent son histoire. Ces films sont invariablement interprétés par des acteurs de renom, chacun d'entre eux jouant de petits rôles dans les différentes histoires. Ainsi on retrouve des stars tels que Peter Cushing , Christopher Lee et Herbert Lom , Amicus fait également appel à des acteurs de la scène britannique classique ( Patrick Magee , Margaret 1 Leighton et même Sir Ralph Richardson ), mais aussi à ( Donald Sutherland , Robert Powell et Tom Baker ), ou d'anciennes gloires comme ( Richard Greene , Robert Hutton , et Terry Thomas ). Certaines, comme Joan Collins , connaissaient une perte de vitesse dans leur carrière quand ils ont signé avec Amicus. Torture Garden et The House That Dripped Blood ont été écrits par Robert Bloch , basé sur ses propres histoires. The Skull était auparavant également basé sur une histoire de Robert Bloch (scénarisé par Milton Subotsky), et Robert Bloch était aussi le scénariste du Psychopathe et l'adaptateur de The Bees Deadly.
