Desesperadamente. Incorrigivelmente. ” Stephen King RESUMO A presente pesquisa objetiva verificar até que ponto as práticas realizadas na wiki TV Tropes estão relacionadas a uma tradição de estudos que valoriza a desconstrução de obras e exemplifica novas possibilidades de produção de conhecimento a partir de um modelo de inteligência coletiva. Entende-se que a relevância deste trabalho é evidenciada na medida em que o mesmo toma o TV Tropes como um exemplar que não só permite a visualização de uma atividade de fãs ainda pouco estudada, como também destaca o vínculo da mesma com linhas de estudos importantes para a narratologia. Em termos metodológicos, o trabalho é um estudo qualitativo que possui a internet como local e instrumento de pesquisa. Tem-se como recorte as análises dos colaboradores da wiki acerca da série de televisão Mr.Robot, e adota-se também como método a pesquisa bibliográfica e a observação direta extensiva, realizada por meio de um questionário. Ao final, conclui-se que o TV Tropes se edifica a partir de um conceito base e princípios que se conectam a linhas de estudos que a primeira vista parecem muito distantes do universo das wikis de fãs. Ademais, entende-se que a wiki exibe características que nos permitem vislumbrar como a ideia de inteligência coletiva pode estar presente em suas atividades. Palavras-chave: TV Tropes. Wikis. Inteligência coletiva. Formalismo. Neoformalismo. ABSTRACT This research aims to verify the extension of practices carried out in the wiki TV Tropes are related to a tradition of studies that values the deconstruction of the works and exemplifies new possibilities of knowledge production from a collective intelligence model. It is understood that the relevance of this work is evidenced by taking the TV Tropes as an example that not only allows the visualization of a fan activity that still little studied, but also highlights the link of it with lines of important studies for narratology. In terms of methodology, the work is a qualitative study that has the internet as a place and a research tool. It was delimited onthe analyzes of the collaborators of the wiki about the television series Mr.Robot, and adopts as method the bibliographic research and the extensive direct observation, realized through one questionnaire. In the end, it is concluded that the TV Tropes is built from one basic concept and principles that connect to lines of studies that at first sight seem very distant from the universe of fan wikis. In addition, it is understood that the wiki exhibits characteristics that allow us to glimpse how the idea of collective intelligence can be present in their activities. Keywords: TV Tropes. Wikis; Collective Intelligence. Formalism. Neoformalism.

No entretenimento, nas relações interpessoais e em praticamente todo cotidiano, histórias vão sendo contadas e recontadas ainda que os participantes não estejam cientes disso. Por conseguinte, é de se esperar que ao longo desse percurso nem tudo seja inovação. Tendências, repetições e padrões vêm sendo identificados em estudos narratológicos desde os tempos de Aristóteles. Seguindo essa linha, a wiki TV Tropes, criada em 2004, desponta como um importante exemplo de como a narratologia tem alcançado os fãs de cultura pop no contexto do ciberespaço. Essa iniciativa chama atenção não só enquanto prática de fãs, mas também por contar com certa valorização de princípios recorrentes em linhas de estudos que também operam a partir

As the region becomes more digitally connected, demand for Digital Services and technologies is also becoming more prominent. With the digital economy still in its infancy, it is unclear which global advances in Digital Services and technologies will be adopted by the Middle East and which require local development. In this context, identifying how, where and with whom to work with in this market can be very challenging. In our effort to broaden the discussion, we have prepared this report to define the Digital Services landscape for the Middle East, to help the region’s digital community in understanding and navigating through this complex and ever-changing space. Eng. Ayman Al Bannaw Today, we are witnessing an unprecedented change in the technology, media, and Chairman & CEO telecommunications industries. These changes, driven mainly by consumers, are taking Noortel place at a pace that is causing confusion, disruption and forcing convergence. This has created massive opportunities for Digital Services in the region, which has in turn led to certain industry players entering the space in an incoherent manner, for fear of losing their market share or missing the opportunities at hand.

  • Supporting Sensemaking by the Masses for the Public Good
    Supporting Sensemaking by the Masses for the Public Good Derek L. Hansen Assistant Professor, Maryland’s iSchool Director of CASCI (http://casci.umd.edu) Introduction One of the marvels of our time is the unprecedented use and development of technologies that support social interaction. Recent decades have repeatedly demonstrated human ingenuity as individuals and collectives have adopted and adapted these technologies to engender new ways of working, playing, and creating meaning. Although we already take for granted the ubiquity of social-mediating technologies such as email, Facebook, Twitter, and wikis, their potential for improving the human condition has hardly been tapped. There is a great need for researchers to 1) develop theories that better explain how and why technology-mediated collaborations succeed and fail, and 2) develop novel socio-technical strategies to address national priorities such as healthcare, education, government transparency, and environmental sustainability. In this paper, I discuss the need to understand and develop technologies and social structures that support large-scale, collaborative sensemaking. Sensemaking Humans can’t help but try to make sense of the world around them. When faced with an unfamiliar problem or situation we instinctively gather, organize, and interpret information, constructing meanings that enable us to move forward (Dervin, 1998; Lee & Abrams 2008; Russell, et al., 2008.). Individuals engage in sensemaking activities when we create a presentation, come to grips with a life-threatening illness, decide who to vote for, or produce an intelligence report. As collectives we engage in collaborative sensemaking activities at many levels of social aggregation ranging from small groups (e.g., co-authors of a paper) to hundreds (e.g., the scientific community developing a cure for cancer) to millions (e.g., fans of ABC’s Lost making sense of the complex show).

  • For the Field
    For the Field Of the People, For the People: Exploring Wikipedia as a Site for Community Building Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for equal access to factual information about the virus. Free and open sources of information are increasingly important in our digital age. Although Wikipedia has often been touted as an unreliable source in the academic context, it can provide a great starting place for those interested in researching a given topic. Additionally, due to its inherently collaborative structure, this could be a site to help build community or extend an existing community, from the physical into the digital. Through a brief examination of the player/editor created and maintained Nukapedia, a wiki-site hosted by Fandom.com and dedicated to the videogame Fallout 4, I will demonstrate that a community can be formed even through asynchronous editing projects. I have experienced the power of this game in building community as a long-time fan of this series who has played through three of its titles: Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4. My long-time partner and I even had out first “official date” on the midnight release of Fallout 4 at our local EB Games. Although I am not an especially talented videogame player, I do enjoy the storylines and aesthetic of its fictional world. These collaborative projects based on collecting, organizing, and sharing knowledge can be employed by library professionals for community programming. As mentioned by Snyder in Edit-a-thons and Beyond (2018), organizing “edit-a-thon Emerging Library & Information Perspectives 1 events” can be a way to meet institutional goals and even engage with new patrons.

  • Public Wikis: Sharing Knowledge Over the Internet
    Technical Communication Wiki : Chapter 2 This page last changed on Apr 15, 2009 by kjp15. Public Wikis: Sharing Knowledge over the Internet What is a public wiki? A public wiki refers to a wiki that everyone can edit, that is, it is open to the general public on the Internet with or without a free login. Anyone is welcome to add information to the wiki, but contributors are asked to stay within the subject area, policies, and standards of the particular wiki. Content that does not relate to the subject or is not of good quality can and will be deleted by other users. Also, if a contributor makes a mistake or a typo, other users will eventually correct the error. Open collaboration by anyone means that multiple articles can be written very fast simultaneously. And, while there may be some vandalism or edit wars, quality of the articles will generally improve over time after many editors have contributed. The biggest public wiki in the world, with over 75,000 contributors, is Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" [1]. Wikipedia has over 2.8 million articles in the English version, which includes over 16 million wiki pages, and is one of the top ten most popular websites in the United States [2]. There are versions of Wikipedia in ten different languages, and articles in more than 260 languages. Wikipedia is operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation [3] which pays a small group of employees and depends mainly on donations. There are also over 1,500 volunteer administrators with special powers to keep an eye on editors and make sure they conform to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies.

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.

  • Today Your Barista Is: Genre Characteristics in the Coffee Shop Alternate Universe
    Today Your Barista Is: Genre Characteristics in The Coffee Shop Alternate Universe Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katharine Elizabeth McCain Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Sean O’Sullivan, Advisor Matthew H. Birkhold Jared Gardner Elizabeth Hewitt 1 Copyright by Katharine Elizabeth McCain 2020 2 Abstract This dissertation, Today Your Barista Is: Genre Characteristics in The Coffee Shop Alternate Universe, works to categorize and introduce a heretofore unrecognized genre within the medium of fanfiction: The Coffee Shop Alternate Universe (AU). Building on previous sociological and ethnographic work within Fan Studies, scholarship that identifies fans as transformative creators who use fanfiction as a means of promoting progressive viewpoints, this dissertation argues that the Coffee Shop AU continues these efforts within a defined set of characteristics, merging the goals of fanfiction as a medium with the specific goals of a genre. These characteristics include the Coffee Shop AU’s structure, setting, archetypes, allegories, and the remediation of related mainstream genres, particularly the romantic comedy. The purpose of defining the Coffee Shop AU as its own genre is to help situate fanfiction within mainstream literature conventions—in as much as that’s possible—and laying the foundation for future close reading. This work also helps to demonstrate which characteristics are a part of a communally developed genre as opposed to individual works, which may assist in legal proceedings moving forward. However, more crucially this dissertation serves to encourage the continued, formal study of fanfiction as a literary and cultural phenomenon, one that is beginning to closely analyze the stories fans produce alongside the fans themselves.

  • Sobre Periodismo Convergente Y Otros Temas De Actualidad
    Énfasis Sobre periodismo convergente y otros temas de actualidad En la actualidad, varias empresas informativas de todo el mundo tratan de responder a la realidad del impacto de Internet y al desarrollo de mensajes sonoros, visuales y escritos. De forma creciente, los usuarios desean acceder a las noticias a través de diversos medios, desde cualquier lugar y en todo momento. Esto ha iniciado una sinergia tecnológica, empresarial y de hábitos de consumo que permite a estas empresas compartir los recursos comunes para la redacción de los distintos medios de comunicación (prensa, televisión e Internet). Esto implica que trabajen conjuntamente en los contenidos y las estrategias editoriales, produzcan noticias para diversos soportes y se promocionen entre sí. Sin embargo, para los periodistas la convergencia conlleva una especie de pluriempleo. Se les exige que sean capaces de obtener, procesar y emitir la información en varios medios, y mejor si es simultáneamente. En este número de Global varios especialistas nos hablan del periodismo convergente: Josep Lluís Micó presenta los sistemas utilizados en España para realizar la convergencia mediática; Pere Masip explica las implicaciones que esta nueva forma de hacer periodismo tiene, tanto para la empresa como para los periodistas, ahora considerados periodistas polivalentes, y Carlos Ruiz expone el estándar de calidad y verificación que deben tener las informaciones expresadas por los medios, a fin de seguir contribuyendo a la construcción de la democracia. En adición, presentamos una entrevista a Jimmy Wales, creador y presidente de Wikipedia, considerada por muchos como “el proyecto enciclopédico más ambicioso y más influyente de la historia de la humanidad”.

This thesis is dedicated to everyone who has ever been obsessed with a television show. Everyone who knows that adrenaline rush you get when you just can’t stop watching. Here’s to finding yourself laughing and crying along with the characters. But most importantly, here’s to shows that give us a break from the day-to-day milieu and allow us to think about the profound, important questions of life. May many shows give us this opportunity as Lost has. Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Steve and Jody, for their love and support as I pursued my area of interest. Without them, I would not find myself where I am now. I would like to thank my advisor, Juliet Schor, for her immense help and patience as I embarked on combining my personal interests with my academic pursuits. Her guidance in methodology, searching the literature, and general theory proved invaluable to the completion of my project. I would like to thank everyone else who has provided support for me throughout the process of this project—my friends, my professors, and the Presidential Scholars Program. I’d like to thank Professor Susan Michalczyk for her unending support and for believing in me even before I embarked on my four years at Boston College, and for being the one to initially point me in the direction of sociology.
