........................................................................................................................... 96 II Abstract Virtual worlds serve as new digital spaces in which humans interact with each other but also with the machines and mechanics on which the virtual worlds are built, creating new frameworks for sociality. By questioning how new players are welcomed in virtual world, this thesis aims to address the more all-encompassing question of whether or not virtual worlds are legitimate places of research, or if the sociality found in them are simply reproductions of real life constructed by game developers. While the study of virtual worlds has been around for quite a while, the specific study of sociality within virtual worlds is still in its early stages, leaving the topic of new gamers within virtual worlds seemingly untouched in previous studies. The findings presented in this thesis will give an overview of how some aspects of being new to a virtual world may be explained with anthropological theories of social structure and relations, the resistance of power, rituals and reciprocity. These topics have been explored within the online game Guild Wars 2 using participant observation, and semi- structured and informal interviews, as well as a research guild specifically created to get past the official account given by the general gamer population. Although a small contribution to the anthropological field of virtual worlds, this thesis suggests

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

Tama Leaver Department of Internet Studies, Curtin University Tel +61 8 9266 1258 Fax +61 8 9266 3166 [email protected] Correspondence should be addressed to Tama Leaver, Curtin University, GPO Box U1987, Perth WA 6845, AUSTRALIA. Email: [email protected] JOSS WHEDON, DR. HORRIBLE AND THE FUTURE OF WEB MEDIA? 2 Abstract In the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, one of the areas in dispute was the question of residual payments for online material. On the picket line, Buffy creator Joss Whedon discussed new ways online media production could be financed. After the strike, Whedon self-funded a web media production, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog. Whedon and his collaborators positioned Dr. Horrible as an experiment, investigating whether original online media content created outside of studio funding could be financially viable. Dr. Horrible was a bigger hit than expected, with a paid version topping the iTunes charts and a DVD release hitting the number two position on Amazon. This article explores which factors most obviously contributed to Dr. Horrible’s success, whether these factors are replicable by other media creators, the incorporation of fan labor into web media projects, and how web-specific content creation relates to more traditional forms of media production.

HORRIBLE AND THE FUTURE OF WEB MEDIA? 3 Joss Whedon, Dr. Horrible and the Future of Web Media? In November 2007, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) began a strike lasting 100 days; amongst the areas in dispute were questions of residual payments for online streaming of previously broadcast material and the even newer and murkier territory of content created specifically for viewing online (M.

Shorter than most television episodes and distributed on online platforms like YouTube, web series both draw on and deviate from traditional TV storytelling strategies. In this thesis, I compare the production and storytelling strategies of "derivative" web series based on broadcast television shows with "original" web series created for the Internet, focusing on the evolution of scripted entertainment content online.

  • FELICIA DAY Introduction
    PHOTOS FROM YOU’RE NEVER WEIRD ON THE INTERNET (almost) [ A MEMOIR ] FELICIA DAY Introduction This is what I built, if you’re curious: Yes, Santa’s holding a light saber. I’d hate a life where everyone knew me and people made money selling pictures of me without makeup to tabloids. I’m not in the business of wearing makeup every day. Or going out of my house on a regular basis. Between the jokes and dorky illustrations (I’m addicted to Photo shop), I hope you can find a teensy bit of inspiration for your own life—to take risks and use all the tools at your finger- tips to get your voice out there while you’re still not a corpse. Be who you are and use this new connected world to embrace it. Because . Why I’m Weird A brief survey of an eccentric, homeschooled childhood. I will never be the popular one. That’s for girls who wear hair bows that match their dresses and hang out with other girls who wear hair bows that match their dresses. Back in the late ’80s, the hair bow was the rich girl’s scrunchie. I had no hair bows or scrunchies be- cause we were poor and shopped at Goodwill, and my mom cut my hair in the shape of a salad bowl. Naturally, I became obsessed with detective pulp fiction. Perry Mason was my favorite. Not the actor who played him in the TV show, Raymond Burr. I hated him; he was bulky, and his skull looked creepy underneath his skin.
