Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2021
Jan 21 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) did not gather in New York to celebrate the Great Detective’s 167th birthday this year, but the somewhat shorter long weekend offered plenty of events, thanks to Zoom and other modern technol- ogy. Detailed reports will be available soon at the web-site of The Baker Street Irregulars <www.bakerstreetirregulars.com>, but here are few brief paragraphs to tide you over: The BSI’s Distinguished Speaker on Thursday was Andrew Lycett, the author of two fine books about Conan Doyle; his topic was “Conan Doyle’s Questing World” (and close to 400 people were able to attend the virtual lecture); the event also included the announcement by Steve Rothman, editor of the Baker Street Journal, of the winner of the Morley-Montgomery Award for the best article the BSJ last year: Jessica Schilling (for her “Just His Type: An Analysis of the Découpé Warning in The Hound of the Baskervilles”). Irregulars and guests gathered on Friday for the BSI’s annual dinner, with Andrew Joffe offering the traditional first toast to Nina Singleton as The Woman, and the program continued with the usual toasts, rituals, and pap- ers; this year the toast to Mrs. Hudson was delivered by the lady herself, splendidly impersonated by Denny Dobry from his recreation of the sitting- room at 221B Baker Street. Mike Kean (the “Wiggins” of the BSI) presented the Birthday Honours (Irregular Shillings and Investitures) to Dan Andri- acco (St. Saviour’s Near King’s Cross), Deborah Clark (Mrs. Cecil Forres- ter), Carla Coupe (London Bridge), Ann Margaret Lewis (The Polyphonic Mo- tets of Lassus), Steve Mason (The Fortescue Scholarship), Ashley Polasek (Singlestick), Svend Ranild (A “Copenhagen” Label), Ray Riethmeier (Mor- rison, Morrison, and Dodd), Alan Rettig (The Red Lamp), and Tracy Revels (A Black Sequin-Covered Dinner-Dress). -
Bhattacharya, Laboni-3
Lapis Lazuli UGC APPROVED, BLIND PEER-REVIEWED An International Literary Journal ISSN 2249-4529 WWW.PINTERSOCIETY.COM VOL.7 / NO.1/ SPRING 2017 Plotting, Print and Responses to Popular Culture: The Beginnings of the Sherlock Holmes Fandom in the Nineteenth Century Laboni Bhattacharya ABSTRACT: This paper posits a possible socio-literary moment in the emergence of the category of the ‘fan’, especially the fan of detective fiction in 19th century England. A convergence of factors, this paper would argue, both textual and material, shaped this emergence. In 19th century England, for the first time, technology in the form of popular print culture facilitated a popular surge of interest in the genre of detective fiction, which was sustained through certain technologies of the text. The textual and formal peculiarities of the detective story – the exploitation of narrative desire through ‘plotting’ (Brooks, 1984; Rzepka, 2005, 2010), the figure of the ‘Morellising’ (Ginzburg, 2003) detective himself – created a hyper-engaged reader in the image of the form itself: detail-oriented and intellectually competitive. At the same time, the material conditions of serialised print fiction allowed readers to 45 Lapis Lazuli An International Literary Journal ISSN 2249-4529 participate in ‘imagined communities’ (Anderson, 2006) as they became aware of the existence of other readers due to the materiality of magazine circulation and subscriptions. These communities of dedicated fans consolidated themselves into what contemporary scholars call a fandom 1 , further sustaining the exegetical reading practices and accretion of trivia that separates the fan from the ordinary reader. This paper is a brief attempt at charting the rise in the simultaneous creation of the fan and the rise of the Sherlock Holmes ‘fandom’ in the 19th century as a confluence of the textual technology of narrative and the material technology of print culture. -
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. -

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created. -
Constructing Coherence in the Holmesian Canon
The Final Problem: Constructing Coherence in the Holmesian Canon CAMILLA ULLELAND HOEL Abstract: The death and resurrection of Sherlock Holmes, a contrarian reading in which Holmes helps the murderer, and the century-long tradition of the Holmesian Great Game with its pseudo-scholarly readings in light of an ironic conviction that Holmes is real and Arthur Conan Doyle merely John Watson’s literary agent. This paper relies on these events in the afterlife of Sherlock Holmes in order to trace an outline of the author function as it applies to the particular case of Doyle as the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The operations of the author function can be hard to identify in the encounter with the apparently natural unity of the individual work, but these disturbances at the edges of the function make its effects more readily apparent. This article takes as its starting point the apparently strong author figure of the Holmesian Great Game, in which “the canon” is delineated from “apocrypha” in pseudo-religious vocabulary. It argues that while readers willingly discard provisional readings in the face of an incompatible authorial text, the sanctioning authority of the author functions merely as a boundary for interpretation, not as a personal-biographical control over the interpretation itself. On the contrary, the consciously “writerly” reading of the text serves to reinforce the reliance on the text as it is encountered. The clear separation of canon from apocrypha, with the attendant reinforced author function, may have laid the ground not only for the acceptance of contrarian reading, but also for the creation of apocryphal writings like pastiche and fan fiction. -

Reimagining Sherlock Holmes: a Study in Gender Performativity
Reimagining Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Gender Performativity Ninna Ilias S4166361 Master Thesis Dr Louttit 31 January 2018 Abstract De verhalen van Sir Arthur Conan Doyle zijn al ontelbare keren opnieuw bekeken en opnieuw verteld. Er is echter nog geen onderzoek gedaan naar het vergelijken en contrasteren van de genderprestaties in Doyle’s werken en geassocieerde fanfictions. Dit onderzoek richt zich op het analyseren van gender performativiteit in geselecteerde korte verhalen van Arthur Conan Doyle en kijkt ook naar de performatieve gender in de fanfiction teksten waarin gender op opmerkelijke manieren wordt uitgevoerd. Dit onderzoek schetst onder meer de narratologische mogelijkheden die fanfiction biedt en de manier waarop het al bestaande verhalen reconstrueert en herinterpreteert. Bovendien wordt de gender- performativiteitstheorie van Judith Butler toegepast op de bestaande werken van Doyle in een close reading van “A Scandal in Bohemia”, waarbij zowel de conventionele als onconventionele genderprestaties van de personages in het korte verhaal worden verkend. De fanfiction titels "Equivalence" en de Body of Evidency-reeks worden ook onderzocht aan de hand van Butler's gender performativiteitstheorie. Vervolgens heeft dit onderzoek analyse gedaan naar fanfiction-praktijken zoals genderswapping en Omega!verse, waarin genderidentiteit en genderkwesties op innovatieve manieren worden gepresenteerd. Door de gender-performativiteitstheorie toe te passen op het werk van Doyle en de geselecteerde fanfiction-titels, wordt het duidelijk dat, hoewel het werk van Doyle ook onconventionele genderprestaties bevat, fanfiction beter in staat is om gendernormen in het traditionele verhaal op innovatieve manieren te bekritiseren. Trefwoorden: Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, fanfiction, Judith Butler, gender performativity, gender performance, gender identiteit, gender, narratologie. -

FROM REVERENCE TO REFERENCE: RETHINKING CONTEMPORARY CROSS-MEDIA ADAPTATION By TANIA DARLINGTON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 © 2014 Tania Darlington To Lorelei Without your faith in me, I would not have made it this far. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project has been a labor of love, but one that truly would not have gotten far past page one without the help of the many people who supported me and pushed me to keep going. I would like to thank Scott Nygren, who started this project with me and shared his limitless patience and insight for most of its duration; I am sorry he cannot be here to see me finish it. I would also like to thank my dissertation supervisor, Barbara Mennel, whose generosity with her time and her feedback have inspired me to be a better writer, student, and teacher. I have also been blessed with wonderful committee members—Kenneth Kidd, Judith Page, and Jack Stenner—whose kindness and flexibility have made this process shockingly painless. Though he hasn't been my teacher or my advisor in many years, I also must thank Aiping Zhang, who has been my champion and source of encouragement for the majority of my academic career. This project also would never have been possible without my mother, Sharlyn Swofford, and my daughter, Lorelei Chamberlain. No matter how much I fretted over my ability to complete this work, both had unwavering faith that I would finish. -
View of Authorship and Authenticity in Sherlock Holmes Pastiches | Tr
View of Authorship and authenticity in Sherlock Holmes pastiches | Tr... http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/834/772 Theory Authorship and authenticity in Sherlock Holmes pastiches Sanna Nyqvist University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland [0.1] Abstract—Rewritings and adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes stories are traditionally called pastiches among fandom. This article juxtaposes that established use with the literary critical notion of pastiche as imitation of style, and shows how stylistic affinity to the originals produces complex effects in the imitations. The article identifies two main strands in the pastiches: one that aims to correct the mistakes and fill in the gaps in the original stories, and one that supplements the canon with stories Watson left untold. Balancing among homage, criticism, and usurpation, the pastiches comment on the original story world and its cultural context, and engage in fictions of authorship to account for the apparent inauthenticity of the retellings.

Introduction [1.1] The original 56 short stories and four novels about Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1917, hold a special position in literary history as one of the inaugural and certainly one of the most influential text corpora of detective fiction.
