DIGITAL LITERACIES AND “GLEE”: THE ROLE OF FAN FICTION VIRTUAL WRITING AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN RESPONSE TO BULLYING THEMES WITH ADOLESCENT WRITERS by MANDY STEWART DISSERTATION Submitted to the Graduate School of Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2017 MAJOR: CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION Approved By: ________________________________________ Advisor Date ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ © COPYRIGHT BY MANDY STEWART 2017 All Rights Reserved DEDICATION To my husband, Jason, who allowed me to dream beyond the typical expectations for a teacher and a mom. He never wavered in his firm belief that I was capable of doctorate level work, and that I should never settle for less than my highest dream. I could not have done this without his encouragement, time, sacrifice, and support to finish this process. I am truly lucky to have found my true love, who was willing to put my needs above his and take over so much of the day to day care of our family. To my boys, Jackson and Seamus, I love you, and I hope that you will remember that Mom didn’t study all the time, and that you are always the center of my world. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writing of this dissertation would not have been possible without the support of my professors and members of my committee. To Dr. DeBlase, Dr. Feathers, Dr. Tonso, Dr. Dillaway, Dr. Crawford-McKinney, and Dr. Hill, thank you for your time and expertise in this process. I am grateful that you didn’t lose hope, even with a troublesome student that moved five hours away and took a decade to complete their dissertation. Looking back, I made many mistakes and decisions that made this journey longer and more difficult, and every one of you still gave your advice, encouragement, and time to help me to complete this degree. Thank you for your help, it made all the difference. To my family, thank you for supporting me even though you thought I was crazy to do all this, it was worth it in the end. Always, thanks to the participants, whose writing was always authentic and personal, for letting me wade into your virtual world for this study. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.
