This article explores the celebritification of online video-bloggers in relation to their own discursive community. Focusing on the VlogBrothers (John and Hank Green) and their community ‘Nerdfighters’, this article demonstrates how their philosophy of “Imagining Others More Complexly” (IOMC) is used to debate ‘celebrity’ and its legitimacy. Their vision of celebrity is egalitarian and democratic, rooted in Western culture’s ‘expressive turn’ (Taylor, 1989).

  • “Decreasing World Suck”
    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

Brno: Masaryk University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature. 2019, 85 pages. The supervisor of the master's thesis: Mgr. Martin Němec, Ph.D. Abstract Master's thesis deals with the analysis of John Green's writing style in his Young Adult Literature novels.

The theoretical descriptions of these features and translation strategies are summarised in the theoretical part of the thesis. The practical part consists of two main chapters. The first one introduces the specific elements and their translations divided into groups (anagrams, idioms, slang, vulgarisms, etc.), while the other one focuses on the analysis of visual features (capital letters, italics, punctuation, etc.) and their occurrence in Slovak translations. The aim of the thesis is to find out if, and to what extent the author's style is rendered into Slovak translations, and how it is influenced by various features, such as different translators' perceptions or constantly changing trends of the society. Key Words translation, analysis, translator, style, equivalence, visual features, anagrams, figurative language, translator's interpretation, puns, vulgarisms, slang, Green, Knittlová, Newmark Bibliografická identifikácia VALÚŠKOVÁ, Lujza.

  • 4 Insights from Youtubers at Brandcast Australia
    4 insights from YouTubers at Brandcast Australia Published Today, there are 65 Aussie YouTubers with more Semptember 2017 than 1M subscribers. These popular creators reach huge audiences of engaged, attentive viewers— and they’re gaining fans every day. Check out what YouTube’s biggest stars had to say (and sing) at Brandcast Australia 2017. ouTube creators aren’t just vloggers; they’re empowered activists, passionate entertainers, talented businesspeople, and fierce Y fashionistas. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. At this year’s Brandcast in Melbourne and Sydney, we witnessed the creative power of these internet-famous trendsetters firsthand—power that ranges from changing and shaping culture to influencing and shifting brand perception. Keep reading for four important insights from Vlogbrothers’ Hank Green, Creators for Change ambassador L-FRESH The LION, beauty vlogger Wengie, and musician Mike Tompkins at Brandcast Australia 2017: 1. Creators are clearing a new path For many YouTubers, what started as a fun side project is now a full-time gig. More and more of the platform’s biggest names are launching their own production companies and hiring other digital natives just like them. And they’re creating an economic ecosystem that doesn’t necessarily rely on advertising. Instead, they’re using apps, subscription services, and crowdfunding—even writing books and licensing their content—to bring their online video passion projects to life. thinkwithgoogle.com.au 2 Hank Green, host of the popular YouTube channels Vlogbrothers and SciShow, went from creating a video blog with his brother to interviewing President Barack Obama in less than 10 years.
