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.

This dissertation joins a growing body of work which explores the complex relationship between youth and emerging media through deep interpretive engagement with contextualized questions of meaning and experience. This approach recognizes the diversity of young people's interactions with the digital world and their agency in shaping those interactions. I herein present an ethnographic account of young people who are part of the fandom community on social networking site tumblr, a group united by shared appreciation for books, films, television shows, and other media texts. Their connections run much deeper than these interests, however, as does the meaning their engagement in this space holds for them as individuals and as a community.

THE VIRTUES OF MODERATION James Grimmelmannt 17 YALE J.L. & TECH. 42 (2015) ABSTRACT TL;DR On a Friday in 2005, the Los Angeles Times launched an experiment: a "wikitorial"on the Iraq War that any of the paper's readers could edit. By Sunday, the experiment had ended in abject failure: vandals overran it with crude pro- fanity and graphic pornography. The wikitorial took its inspira- tion and its technology from Wikipedia, but missed something essential about how the 'the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" staves off abuse while maintaining its core commitment to open participation. The difference is moderation: the governance mechanisms that structure participationin a community to facilitate cooper- ation and prevent abuse. Town meetings have moderators, and so do online communities. A community's moderators can pro- mote posts or hide them, honor posters or shame them, recruit users or ban them.

  • Perishable Press Import and Display RSS Feeds in Wordpress
    How to Import and Display RSS Feeds in WordPress • Perishable Press Page 1 of 25 Perishable Press Import and Display RSS Feeds in WordPress Published Sunday, April 26, 2009 @ 2:35 pm • 53 Responses Importing and displaying external RSS feeds on your site is a great way to share your online activity with your visitors. If you are active on Flickr, Delicious, Twitter, or Tumblr, your visitors will enjoy staying current with your updates. Many social media sites provide exclusive feeds for user-generated content that may be imported and displayed on virtually any web page. In this article, you will learn three ways to import and display feed content on your WordPress- powered website — without installing yet another plugin. On the menu for this tutorial: • Importing and displaying feeds with WordPress & Magpie (simple method) • Importing and displaying feeds with WordPress & Magpie (advanced method) • Importing and displaying feeds with SimplePie (WordPress not required) Sound good? Let’s get to it.. Importing and displaying feeds with WordPress & Magpie (simple method) If you only need to display the titles of a feed, you can take advantage of the built-in WordPress function, wp_rss(), which provides WordPress with essential feed-fetching and feed-parsing functionality. All you need to do is place the following code into the desired display location within your theme template file (e.g., sidebar.php): <?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php'); wp_rss('http://domain.tld/your-feed/', 7); ?> In the first line, we include the required wp_rss() function from the rss.php file (rss- functions.php in older versions of WordPress).
