  • Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading a Dissertation
    "I Opened a Book and in I Strode": Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Ashley J. Barner April 2016 © 2016 Ashley J. Barner. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled "I Opened a Book and in I Strode": Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading by ASHLEY J. BARNER has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Robert Miklitsch Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BARNER, ASHLEY J., Ph.D., April 2016, English "I Opened a Book and in I Strode": Fanfiction and Imaginative Reading Director of Dissertation: Robert Miklitsch This dissertation studies imaginative reading and its relationship to fanfiction. Imaginative reading is a practice that involves engaging the imagination while reading, mentally constructing a picture of the characters and settings described in the text. Readers may imaginatively watch and listen to the narrated action, using imagination to recreate the characters’ sensations and emotions. To those who frequently read this way, imagining readers, the text can become, through the work of imagination, a play or film visualized or entered. The readers find themselves inside the world of the text, as if transported to foreign lands and foreign eras, as if they have been many different people, embodied in many different fictional characters. By engaging imaginatively and emotionally with the text, the readers can enter into the fictional world: the settings seem to them like locations they can visit, the many characters like roles they can inhabit or like real people with whom they can interact as imaginary friends and lovers.

  • A Cultural Theory of Mary Sue Fan Fiction As Fair
    Everyone's a Superhero: A Cultural Theory of "Mary Sue" Fan Fiction as Fair Use Anupam Chander t Madhavi Sunder tt Lieutenant Mary Sue took the helm of the Starship Enterprise,saving the ship while parrying Kirk's advances. At least she did so in the unofficial short story by Trekkie Paula Smith. "Mary Sue" has since come to stand for the insertion of an idealized authorial representative in a popular work. Derided as an exercise in narcissism, Mary Sue is in fact a figure ofsubaltern critique, challenging the stereotypes of the original.The stereotypes of popular culture insinuate themselves deeply into our lives, coloring our views on occupations and roles. From Hermione Granger-led stories, to Harry Potter in Kolkata, to Star Trek same-sex romances, Mary Sues re-imagine our cultural landscape,granting agency to those denied it in the popular mythology. Lacking the global distribution channels of traditional media, Mary Sue authors now find an alternative in the World Wide Web, which brings their work to the world. Despite copyright law's grant of rights in derivative works to the original's owners, we argue that Mary Sues that challenge the orthodoxy of the originallikely constitutefair use. The Mary Sue serves as a metonym for all derivative uses that challenge the hegemony of the original. Scholars raise three principal critiques to such fair use: (1) why not write your own story rather than borrowing another's? (2) even ifyou must borrow, why not license it? and (3 won't "recoding" popular icons Copyright © 2007 Anupam Chander and Madhavi Sunder.

  • Web-Based Chinese Fanfic of Jane Austen Jin Feng Grinnell College
    Time-Travel to P & P: Web-based Chinese Fanfic of Jane Austen Jin Feng Grinnell College Occupying a secure place in both “the solemn pantheon of classic English literature and the exuberantly commercial realm of pop culture” in the West,1 Jane Austen’s works are also generating enthusiastic fans on the Chinese cyberspace. Chinese fans may not possess the same background knowledge demonstrated by those who call themselves “Janeites,” who show “self-consciously idolatrous enthusiasm for ‘Jane’ and every detail relative to her” in the histories of English and American literature, 2 or by users at the Republic of Pemberley, a renowned English-language website featuring lore, fan fiction (fanfic), and discussion related to all things Austen. They may also lack resources to partake in the wide variety of Austen-themed conferences, balls, and tourism enjoyed by their Western counterparts.3 But they more than make up for the ostensibly limited scope and depth of their engagements through creative and passionate rewritings, reinterpretations, and debates of the original on the Chinese Web. In this article, I examine a group of Chinese-language web-based fanfic works of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (P& P) published at Yaya Bay, a U.S.-based discussion forum catering to world-wide Chinese speaking audiences. By examining specific themes, literary devices, and discussions, I show that the production and consumption of these 1 Deborah Yaffe, Among the Janeites: A Journey Though the World of Jane Austen Fandom (Boston and New York: Mariner Books, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013), xvii. 2 Claudia L.
