    Transmedia Muppets: the Possibilities of Performer Narratives

    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Transmedia Muppets: The Possibilities of Performer Narratives AARON CALBREATH-FRASIEUR, University of Nottingham ABSTRACT This article examines how the Muppets franchise engages with transmedia narratives, their stories moving fluidly between television, film, comics, the internet and more. Rather than highlight the complexity Henry Jenkins (2006), Elizabeth Evans (2011) and others associate with transmedia, an examination of the Muppets offers insight into a mechanism that allows for simpler coherent connection between texts. The Muppets’ ongoing performer narrative challenges the prevailing understanding of transmedia storytelling. As performative characters (singers, actors, performance artists), any text concerned with Muppets, even those in which they act as other characters, becomes part of an overarching Muppet narrative. A high degree of self-reflexivity further supports transmediality, as most Muppet texts contain references to that text as a performance by the Muppets. Thus the comic Muppet Robin Hood and the film Muppet Treasure Island continue the story of the Muppets as further insight is gained into the characters' personalities and ongoing performance history. Examining different iterations of the Muppets franchise illuminates the ramifications of performer narratives for transmedia storytelling. KEYWORDS Transmedia storytelling, franchise, narrative, Muppets, multi-platform For over fifty-five years the Muppets have been appearing in media texts. They began on local television but have spread across most contemporary mediums, with many of these texts part of the over-arching, ongoing Muppet story. This article explores an alternative framework for defining one form of transmedia storytelling. This model suggests a complication in the understanding of transmedia storytelling put forward by Henry Jenkins (2006) and Elizabeth Evans (2011).

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.

Article Type: Full Length Article Keywords: Major hurricanes; Eastern Pacific basin warm pool; sea level anomaly; warm ocean eddies. Corresponding Author: Dr Orzo Sanchez Montante, PhD Physical Oceanography Corresponding Author's Institution: CICATA-IPN Centro de Ciencias Aplicadas y tecnologia Avanzada del Instituto Politecnico Nacional First Author: Orzo S Montante, PhD Physical Oceanography Order of Authors: Orzo S Montante, PhD Physical Oceanography; Graciela B Raga, PhD; Jorge Zavala-Hidalgo, PhD Abstract: The Eastern Pacific (EP) is a very active cyclogenesis basin, spawning the largest number of cyclones per unit area in the globe. However, very intense cyclones are not frequently observed in the EP basin, particularly when the database is constrained to cyclones that remain close to the Mexican coast and those that make landfall. During the period 1993-2007, nine Category 5 hurricanes developed in the EP basin, but only 5 reached maximum intensity while located East of 120W and only one made landfall in Mexico, as Category 4, in 2002. This cyclogenetical area is a favorable region for hurricane intensification, because of the elevated sea surface temperatures observed throughout the year, constituting a region known as the "Eastern Tropical Pacific warm pool", with relatively small annual variability, particularly in the region between 10 and 15N and East of 110W. In this study we evaluate oceanic conditions, such as sea surface temperature, sea surface height and their anomalies, and relate them to the intensification of major hurricanes, with particular emphasis on those cyclones that remain close to the Mexican coast, including those that make landfall.

STEWART National Hurricane Center, Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 13 April 2004, in final form 5 October 2004) ABSTRACT The tropical cyclone activity for 2003 in the eastern North Pacific hurricane basin is summarized. Activity during 2003 was slightly below normal. Sixteen tropical storms developed, seven of which became hurri- canes. However, there were no major hurricanes in the basin for the first time since 1977. The first hurricane did not form until 24 August, the latest observed first hurricane at least since reliable satellite observations began in 1966. Five tropical cyclones made landfall on the Pacific coast of Mexico, resulting in 14 deaths. 1. Overview of the 2003 season North Pacific Ocean. Avila et al.
