  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Spectres des Monstres: Post-postmodernisms, hauntology and creepypasta narratives as digital fiction Joe Ondrak, Sheffield Hallam University Abstract Horror has always been adaptable to developments in media and technology; this is clear in horror tales from Gothic epistolary novels to the ‘found footage’ explosion of the early 2000s via phantasmagoria and chilling radio broadcasts such as Orson Welles’ infamous War of the Worlds (1938). It is no surprise, then, that the firm establishment of the digital age (i.e. the widespread use of Web2.0 spaces the proliferation of social media and its integration into everyday life) has created venues not just for interpersonal communication, shared interests and networking but also the potential for these venues to host a new type of horror fiction: creepypasta. However, much of the current academic attention enjoyed by digital horror fiction and creepypasta has focused on digital media’s ability to remediate a ‘folk-like’ storytelling style and an emulation of word-of-mouth communication primarily associated with urban legends and folk tales.

  • Reader Agency and Intimacy in Contemporary Horror Fiction
    “This Is Not For You” Reader Agency and Intimacy in Contemporary Horror Fiction Aslak Rustad Hauglid A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Master of Arts Degree UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Spring 2016 II “This Is Not For You” Reader Agency and Intimacy in Contemporary Horror Fiction Aslak Rustad Hauglid A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages University of Oslo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Master of Arts Degree Spring 2016 III © Aslak Rustad Hauglid 2016 “This Is Not For You”: Reader Agency and Intimacy in Contemporary Horror Fiction Aslak Rustad Hauglid http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract This thesis examines how recent/contemporary horror fiction uses the establishment of reader intimacy and challenges to reader agency in order to create experiences of horror. The discussion focuses on a selection of horror texts from different media published between 2000 and 2016. The thesis argues that these two techniques have come to be increasingly important horror tropes over this period, and examines how they are applied in order to propose a new perspective for understanding how contemporary horror operates. Two central arguments structure this discussion. The first argument is a claim that the aesthetic, narrative and in some case interactive dimensions of the examined horror texts illustrate how these texts seek to shorten the distance between reader and author, while simultaneously questioning the power the reader possesses in relation to the text. All of this takes place in the pursuit of creating an effective experience of horror.

  • MATTHEW REILLY UNIVERSE a Jumpchain CYOA
    MATTHEW REILLY UNIVERSE A Jumpchain CYOA Welcome to the shared universe of Matthew Reilly’s novels. You, visitor, are at the tip of the spear. This world of high stakes, nail-biting action needs heroes like you, now more than ever, to defend its people from forces that would seek to control it for their own ends. To explain a little more about the world you’ve stumbled into, to the vast bulk of humanity the world is quite mundane; your average citizen has as roughly the same concept of their world as you or I, and it would be quite easy to live your life as though nothing was any different. Yet behind the curtain, many wheels are in motion. Intelligence organisations and Special Forces units clash in exotic locations – Antarctic research labs, overgrown ruins, secret military facilities – often where highly unusual discoveries are made and where the most daring come away with the prize. Heavily-armed bounty hunters and Private Military Corporations chase lucrative contracts across the world for money and glory; careless of international law and often any collateral damage. In uncharted wilds, hidden cultures and tribes who have never been exposed to the modern world protect secrets from the forgotten past and carry out the rites of their forefathers to this day. Shadowy groups steer the courses of governments with hidden hands. Conspiracies of hate and enlightenment both grow inky webs throughout the military-industrial complex and permeate universities, corporations, the government and other institutions. And behind even these secret manipulators lie great mysteries which continue to shape the world as we know it after many thousands of years, and which may spell its doom...or its salvation.

  • The Expanded 'Verse
    The Expanded 'Verse: Serialized Transmediality in Firefly/Serenity ............ by Frederick Blichert, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University OTTAWA, Ontario Submitted August 2014 © 2014, Frederick Blichert ii We know now that a text is not a line of words releasing a single "theological" meaning (the "message" of the Author- God) but a multi-dimensional space in which a variety of writings, none of them original, blend and clash. Roland Barthes1 iii ABSTRACT Popular narratives often extend textual content across multiple media platforms, creating transmedia stories. Recent scholarship has stressed the permeability of "the text," suggesting that the framework of a text, made up of paratexts including trailers and DVD extras, must be included in textual analysis. Here, I propose that this notion may be productively coupled with a theory of seriality––we may frame this phenomenon in the filmic terms of a narrative being comprised of transmedia sequels and/or prequels, or in the televisual language of episodes in a series. Through a textual analysis of the multifaceted transmedia narrative Firefly (2002-2003), I argue for a theoretical framework that further destabilizes the traditional text by considering such paratextual works as comic books, web videos, and the feature film Serenity (Joss Whedon, 2005) as narrative continuations within a single metatext that eschews the centrality of any one text over the others in favour of seriality. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank Erika Balsom, Malini Guha, André Loiselle, and Charles O'Brien for their notes on various versions, drafts, and proposals of this material, along with Sylvie Jasen and Murray Leeder, who encouraged me to workshop some of these ideas as guest lecturer in their undergraduate courses.

  • 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).

  • TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television
    Représentations dans le monde anglophone – Janvier 2017 TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television Mehdi Achouche, Université Lyon 3 Jean Moulin Keywords: reboot, remake, reimagining, update, TV series Mots-clés : reboot, remake, réinterprétation, adaptation, série télévisée When discussing the remake, it is generally the case that we are talking about the movie remake. Stigmatized or (more rarely) defended, the remake is historically thought of as a cinematographic institution, with very little thought devoted so far to the television remake1. Yet the phenomenon has been dramatically increasing over the past few years. A zap2it.com article counted in late 2013 32 projects being either remakes or spinoffs, with another 52 series being based on books or comics, accounting for 20% of the shows in development at the five broadcast networks for the 2014-15 season. By comparison, 53 such projects were developed throughout the previous season2. While TV series have been said to be in a new golden age thanks to their “cinematisation”, they thus allegedly are in danger, according to the same article, echoing the long-standing complaints about “recycling” on the big screen, of ironically falling victim to the “movie-fication” of the business: “TV development is starting to look an awful lot like the movie business, where at the big- studio level pre-sold franchises and risk aversion seem to be the guiding principles.” Or, as another writer puts it more succinctly, “there’s a point where the recycled material is just garbage”3. 1 Only two book-length studies entirely dedicated to the TV remake exist so far, edited by the same scholars: Lavigne Carlen, Marvotich Heather (eds.), American Remakes of British Television: Transformations and Mistranslations, Lenham: Lexington Books, 2011; and Lavigne, Carlen (ed.), Remake Television: Reboot Re-use Recycle.

  • Creepypasta – the Modern Twist in Horror Literature
    „Kwartalnik Opolski” 2016, 4 Przemysław SIEK Creepypasta – the modern twist in horror literature The 21st century saw humanity making great advancements in many fields, such as medicine or science, none however has had as great an impact as the rise of the Internet. Ever since it was open to the general public, there have been many debates as to whether it is a useful tool which gives us endless possibilities, or perhaps a means of turning people into mindless, antisocial zombies. Although one could find arguments to justify both of these claims, it is true that as technology is developing, people appear to be less inclined to read. This is demonstrated in a study conducted by Jessica E. Moyer entitled “Teens Today Don’t Read Books Anymore”1 among many others. If this is the case, can we say that using the Internet leads to illiteracy and portends the fall of literature? Not quite. As we all know, everything depends on how we use the tools we are given – and such is the case here. A truly remarkable example of how the Internet can lead to popularizing both reading and writing, and even contribute to literature itself appeared several years ago. It is known as Creepypasta and has unfortunately been rarely discussed in the media (only a few articles have been published so far), and almost completely ignored by literary scholars. In the past, literature was passed down orally – this is mirrored by how Creepypastas circulate. The only difference is that the voice of a story- teller has been replaced by electronic communication devices.
