'"There's More Than One of Everything": Navigating Fringe's Cofactual Multiverse'
. Volume 13, Issue 1 May 2016 ‘There’s More Than One of Everything’: Navigating Fringe’s cofactual multiverse Casey J. McCormick, McGill University, Montréal, Canada Abstract: This article analyzes how viewers of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013) make sense of the series’ complex science fictional storyworld. It argues that Fringe presents multiple iterations of worlds and characters in a way that encourages ‘cofactual’ interpretation: rather than figuring parallel universes and alternate timelines as ontologically hierarchical, the narrative accommodates all versions of reality and invites viewers to participate in shaping the multiverse. The article offers a close reading of Fringe’s complex narrative structure alongside an exploration of how audiences responded to and impacted the series through fannish practices such as vidding and narrative mapping. It concludes that cofactual narration opens up an array of participatory practices that blur the text/paratext distinction and facilitate interactive storyworld building. Keywords: Complex TV, Fandom, Narrative, Paratexts, Counterfactual, Cofactual, Possible Worlds Cofactual Interpretation By the time viewers reach the series finale of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013), they have travelled across two spatially-distinct universes, three versions of the future, and at least four different timelines, with each world-iteration populated by different versions of the show’s central characters. Through its reinvigoration of science fiction tropes, such as time travel, alternate realities, and temporal resets, Fringe asks viewers to re-evaluate typical models of narrative world-building. The series constructs a multiverse comprised of what I deem cofactual diegetic worlds. I use the term ‘cofactual’ in contradistinction to the more common narrative term ‘counterfactual’ as a means of emphasizing the plurality and simultaneity of diegetic worlds in Fringe. -

The Vegetation of Whale Island. Part II. Species List of Vascular Plants, By
Tane (1971) 17:39-46 39 THE VEGETATION OF WHALE ISLAND PART II. SPECIES LIST OF VASCULAR PLANTS by B.S. Parris* ABSTRACT A list of vascular plants found on Whale Island is presented together with the abundance of each species and the plant communities in which it occurs. INTRODUCTION This list was drawn up during the July visit and only a few species were added on the August visit. Further collections at more favourable seasons would probably add more species, particularly adventive annuals, to the list. The plant communities are as in Parris et al. (1971). Specimens of most species are lodged in the herbarium of the Auckland Institute and Museum. Nomenclature is as follows: indigenous dicotyledons and ferns, 'Flora of New Zealand' Vol. 1 by H.H. Allan (1961); indigenous monocotyledons, 'Flora of New Zealand' Vol. 2 by L.B. Moore and E. Edgar (1970); adventive species, 'Handbook of the Naturalised flora of New Zealand' by H.H. Allan (1941) and 'A Guide to the Identification of Weeds and Clovers' by A.J. Healy (1970). LIST OF SPECIES * adventive species Psilopsida Psilotum nudum locally abundant under kanuka, occurs under pohutukawa Lycopsida Lycopodium cernuum one locality Sulphur Valley L. varium Pa Hill Filicopsida Schizaeaceae Schizaea fistulosa Sulphur Valley Hymenophyllaceae Hymenophyllum sanguinolentum three localities, in forest Dicksoniaceae Dicksonia squarrosa local - forest and grassland * Plant Diseases Division, D.S.I.R.

“It's Like Groundhog Day”: Remediation
GRAAT On-Line issue #15 April 2014 “It’s like Groundhog Day”: Remediation, Trauma, and Quantum Physics in Time Loop Narratives on Recent American Television Michael Fuchs Independent scholar In his widely cited article “Narrative Complexity in Contemporary American Television,” Jason Mittell maintains that as a result of numerous contextual factors, including technological progress and the accompanying increased media savvy of recipients, “American television of the past twenty years will be remembered as an era of narrative experimentation and innovation, challenging the norms of what the medium can do.”1 These narrative experiments frequently center on questions of temporality, for numerous contemporary “shows play with time, slowing it down to unfold the narrative at rarely before seen rates […] and disrupting the chronological flow itself.”2 This focus on time may, however, come as a bit of a surprise in our present cultural moment. After all, analyses of (post-)postmodern culture tend to overemphasize the prioritization of spatiality over temporality while disregarding the fact that time and space are not so much conceptual opposites than intertwined categories, as scientists starting with Hermann Minkowski3 and cultural critics such as Mikhail M. Bakhtin (in his concept of the “chronotope”4) and David Harvey (the “time-space compression” characteristic of postmodernity5) have repeatedly underlined. Despite the unquestioned interconnections between time and space, it should be stressed that even though “time is one of the most fundamental parameters through which narrative […] is organized and understood,”6 it is 93 especially central for television storytelling, which is why Mary Anne Doane has even claimed that “[t]he major category of television is time.”7 Whereas Doane’s claim is grounded in her argument that repetition is central to television, no matter whether fictional or factual, Jason Mittell has more recently stressed that contemporary fictional television programs are characterized by seriality—a feature primarily conceived in temporal ways. -

Whether we spend years of our lives tuning in every week, or a few days bingeing through a storyworld, TV finales act as sites of negotiation between the forces of media production and consumption. By tracing a history of finales from the first Golden Age of American television to our contemporary era of complex TV, my project provides the first book- length study of TV finales as a distinct category of narrative media. This dissertation uses finales to understand how tensions between the emotional and economic imperatives of participatory culture complicate our experiences of television. The opening chapter contextualizes TV finales in relation to existing ideas about narrative closure, examines historically significant finales, and describes the ways that TV endings create meaning in popular culture. Chapter two looks at how narrative anticipation motivates audiences to engage communally in paratextual spaces and share processes of closure. -

KING Several contributions on seedlings have been presented to the Academy, by Dr. Pammel and Miss King. The present paper con tinues the series, with descriptions and drawings 1 of a number of species of "woody. plants." Some of the seeds used were collected by Dr. Pammel in the southwest in 1931. Some seedlings of orna mentals were furnished through courtesy of Professor Maney and Mr. Stoutemeyer. Other seeds were obtained from diverse sources. Interest in seedling forms arises from the fact that they are constant for individual species, and differ widely between different groups. -
