Transformative Works and Cultures, Vol 5 (2010) Editorial Exploring the body TWC Editor [0.1] Abstract—This unthemed issue centers on the preoccupation with the embodied fan. Essays discuss such topics as the concerns of the aging and the pregnant fan, the relationship of virginity and popular media texts among teen girl fans, and representations of disability in shows and fandoms. [0.2] Keywords—Acafan; Displacement; Subject position TWC Editor. 2010. Exploring the body. Transformative Works and Cultures, no. 5. http://dx.doi.org/10.3983/twc.2010.0244. 1. Introduction [1.1] Unthemed journal issues, like our fifth issue of Transformative Works and Cultures, invite diverse ranges of topics and approaches. Current cultural preoccupations and academic concerns are mirrored in submissions, and by extension in our selections. But if we are to attempt to find a theme for this issue, it would most clearly be the preoccupation with the embodied fan. Fandom itself has a conflicted relationship with the body, as does academia. Large sections of various fandoms are quite focused on bodies, whether it be the athletic body, the visual poster and billboard representations of music and film stars, the physical embodiment of the live performances, or the real and imagined bodies of film and television actors and the characters they represent. [1.2] In all these cases, however, the bodies of the fans themselves are oddly absent. In fact, in popular culture, fans tend to be allowed only a few subject positions: screaming, fainting teenie fangirl; parental basement­dwelling unwashed fanboy; overweight, lonely cat person. Moreover, especially in online fan cultures, pseudonyms are common; even the icons that users use to represent themselves tend to depict popular fan objects rather than personal images. Celebrity bodies and their character counterparts, often objectified and sexualized, are cut and photomanipulated for icons, picspam, wallpapers, and fan art; they are clipped and vidded; and, most of all, they are described in detail, pleasured and hurt in turn. And yet the fan body is often absent, displaced by the imaginary bodies of the desirable and identifiable characters. At the same time, academic discourses on the body have brought physicality back into the academy, notably in gender and queer studies, both of which are central to many fan studies projects. These disciplines have begun focusing on the identities and bodies of the writers and researchers themselves. Disability studies has brought multiplicities of embodiments into focus. [1.3] The importance and influence of these discourses, both academic and fan, can be seen in this general issue, which ranges from ethnographic concerns of the aging and the pregnant fan (two embodied experiences often overlooked and thus of central importance to feminist scholarship) to inquiries into the relationship of virginity and popular media texts among teen girl fans to discussions of disability within shows and fandoms. 2. Contents [2.1] The Praxis essays most obviously looking at fan bodies and their effects on fannish modes of engagement are C. Lee Harrington and Denise D. Bielby's "Autobiographical Reasoning in Long­Term Fandom" and Mary Ingram­Waters's "When Normal and Deviant Identities Collide: Methodological Considerations of the Pregnant Acafan." Harrington and Bielby follow up on their earlier case studies on soap opera fans to look at the changes in constructions of self­narrative. They particularly focus on age­related aspects of fannish identities and practices and argue that there may be important differences in the ways younger and older fans construct and experience their fannish identities. Ingram­Waters's essay looks at another embodied female identity, namely that of the pregnant fan. Looking at her own experiences of doing face­to­face research on mpreg stories while being pregnant herself, she not only draws connections between the content of the stories and our personal experiences, but also addresses the complicated positionality of the acafan in regards to ethnographic research. [2.2] The other three Praxis essays showcase the breadth of fan studies in both subject matter and research approaches. Francesca Musiani's "'May the journey continue': Earth 2 Fan Fiction, or Filling in Gaps to Revive a Canceled Series" draws connections between production characteristics (in this case, early cancellation) and the types of fan fiction the community creates (in particular, attempts to create closure). Drawing comparisons to other shows and fandoms, Musiani opens up an important question about the relationships between source texts and the creative fan responses they spawn. Mikhail Koulikov's "Fighting the Fan Sub War: Conflicts Between Media Rights Holders and Unauthorized Creator/Distributor Networks" and John Walliss's "Fan Filmmaking and Copyright in a Global World: Warhammer 40,000 Fan Films and the Case of Damnatus" address the conflicts between media copyright holders and fans whose creative and interpretive fan works are considered infringing of the source texts. Koulikov looks at the way fan­subtitled texts (especially for Japanese anime) are created and distributed and how these amateur fan productions can come into competition with commercial distributions. He uses network and Net war theory to model these fan/media owner clashes and understand their wider implications for online fan cultures. Meanwhile, Wallis focuses in particular on the legal repercussions of one particular transformative work. He focuses on the tabletop battle game Warhammer 40,000's fan film, Damnatus: The Enemy Within (2005) and examines the reasons why the film cannot be released. He thus looks at a sort of fan creation that has not been the subject of much academic research and addresses the similarities and differences between this specific legal struggle and those experienced by other transformative works. [2.3] The Symposium section again picks up the theme of the body of the fan/the embodied fan in various of its submissions. Jennifer Stevens Aubrey, Elizabeth Behm­ Morawitz, and Melissa A. Click look at the way teen Twilight fans have appropriated the abstinence messages in the Twilight franchise for their own purposes in "The Romanticization of Abstinence: Twilight Fans' Responses to Sexual Restraint in the Twilight Series." Their essay is an interesting case study of the way adults, and in particular academics, may overlook certain modes of engagement in their own readings. [2.4] Sasha_feather and David Kociemba both look at disability within source texts and fandom responses in their Symposium contributions. In "From the Edges to the Center: Disability, Battlestar Galactica, and Fan Fiction," Sasha_feather looks at how she succeeded in engaging disability concerns in both source text and fan responses in the case of Battlestar Galactica. Although her approach is critical, Sasha_feather's observations are ultimately more encouraging than Kociemba's critique of Glee—both the show and its critical responses. His impassioned "'This isn't something I can fake': Reactions to Glee's Representations of Disability" looks closely at the way the show presents minority characters, only to fail in actually engaging their specific concerns. [2.5] Judith May Fathallah's essay comments on and responds to various pieces in TWC's last issue on Supernatural and the character of fangirl Becky in particular. Against the more critical readings of this female fan, Fathallah suggests a Bahktinian reading of Becky in order to recuperate the character for female and feminist appropriations in "Becky Is My Hero: The Power of Laughter

In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

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.
  • Dataslate: Tyranid Vanguard

    Dataslate: Tyranid Vanguard

    Rising Leviathan is a three-part dataslate that tells of Hive Fleet Leviathan’s full-scale planetary assault on the world of Satys and the defence mustered by the Imperium. The first part, Tyranid Vanguard - Rising Leviathan I, details the initial stages of the invasion, when the Tyranid outlier organisms prowl the jungles and manufactorums of Satys ahead of the coming swarm. The chronicle of the events is accompanied by rules for recreating the most infamous Tyranid formations from that stage of the campaign, and missions allowing you to refight the battles in your own games of Warhammer 40,000. DATASLATES & DATASHEETS Dataslates contain collections of one or more datasheets. Each datasheet lists its Faction (the codex it is considered part of), and will present either an Army List Entry (the rules and point values for a single model, vehicle or unit) or a Formation (a specific group of models, vehicles or units that enable you to use special rules when you include them in your army). FACTION Each datasheet will list the Faction it is part of. The Faction determines which codex the datasheet is considered part of for all rules purposes. For example, a datasheet for a new Space Marine Army List Entry can be used in any detachment chosen from Codex: Space Marines, while a datasheet for a new Ork Formation would be treated as a detachment from Codex: Orks, and so on. ARMY LIST ENTRIES An Army List Entry provides all the relevant information to field a single unit in games of Warhammer 40,000, including its points value and battlefield role.

    Mispronouncing Resistance: Uncovering Tales and Lessons in the Production of Creative Cultural Expression in Singapore

    Mispronouncing Resistance: Uncovering Tales and Lessons in the Production of Creative Cultural Expression in Singapore Shuxia Tai April 23, 2009 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environment Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environment Studies, York University, Ontario, Canada. Abstract This paper is the author’s endeavor to understand Singapore and the ways that ordinary residents express alternative views in a highly politically controlled but affluent environment. Unlike actions of resistance elsewhere, Singaporeans engage in less aggressive activities of non-confrontational or covert resistance to avoid inconveniences with the law. By looking into cases of non-confrontational cultural resistance, I suggest that ideas of resistance in authoritarian countries as solely created to oppose the ruling class or the state should be reconsidered. Although non-confrontational resistance in my case studies may be read as criticisms of the state, they are also examples of power relationships between residents of different ethnicities and social class, and between corporations/ international organizations and the people. To investigate why and how people resist covertly or indeed resist, I propose to look into the conditions that influence their views and decisions. This includes the ways that global and local activities and connections affect the individual’s knowledge and perspectives.

  • Alternate Universe Fan Videos and the Reinterpretation of the Media

    Alternate Universe Fan Videos and the Reinterpretation of the Media

    Alternate Universe Fan Videos and the Reinterpretation of the Media Source Introduction According to the Francesca Coppa, American scholar and co-founder of the Organization for Transformative Works1, fan videos are “a form of grassroots filmmaking in which clips from television shows and movies are set to music.”2 Fan videos are commonly referred to as: fanvid, songvid, vid, AMV (for Anime Music Video); their process of creation is called vidding and their editors (fan)vidders. While the “media tradition” described above in Francesca Coppa‟s definition is a crucial part of the fan video production, many other fan videos are created for anime, especially Asian ones (AMV), for video games (some of them called Machinima), or even for other subjects, from band tributes to other types of remix. The vidding tradition – in its current “shape” – goes back to the era of the first VCR; but the very first fan videos may be traced back to the seventies in a slideshow format. When channel mixers and numerous machines available to a large group of consumers emerged, this fan activity easily became an expanding one amongst the fan communities, who were often interested in new technology, whatever era it is. Vidding has now become a digital process, thanks to the expansion of computer and related technical means, including at least semiprofessional editing software. It seems relevant to point out how rare it is that a vidder goes through editing training when they begin to create fan videos, or even become a professional editor later on. Of course, exceptions exist, but vidding generally remains a hobby.
