P.8. Study of Frankenstein.
This document provides information about a cultural studies analysis of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. It includes details such as the presenter's name and enrollment information, publication details of the novel, and a definition of culture. The document then discusses how Frankenstein represents certain cultural fears about technology and interracial relationships. It explores how the novel portrays various conflicts such as love vs. revenge, and how the story has been adapted and symbolized in popular culture.
Modern Setting: Science Fiction
This document provides an overview of science fiction including definitions, key elements, themes, and related genres. It defines science fiction as a form of fiction that deals with the impact of actual or imagined science on society or individuals. Key elements include stories set in the future that present theoretically plausible plots involving technology, space exploration, aliens, or futuristic inventions. Two common themes are the relationship between individuals and society, and the development of computer technology and artificial intelligence. Related genres discussed include utopian, dystopian, and ecotopian literature.
Part 5: Evaluation
The document discusses how a media product represents particular social groups. It summarizes that the title sequence represents middle-aged adults through the female character's smart work clothing and police uniform. Clues about the antagonist suggest he is also middle-aged due to clues like newspaper articles. The fast pacing of the sequence and intense soundtrack could represent the fast pace and challenges of middle-aged adult life. The use of black and white photography further reflects the desired social group and adds mystery.
Queer theory
Queer Theory aims to change society and analyze it. It is influenced by Judith Butler's Gender Trouble, which argues that gender and sex should not be linked categories so that all sexual identities can be accepted. Queer Theory points to examples in popular culture like gender-bending performers and advertisements that suggest gender and sexuality are more fluid concepts than fixed identities. It also notes that gay and lesbian characters in media are now treated less as tokenism and more as normal representations.
Popular Culture & Postmodernism
This document discusses postmodernism and popular culture and literature. It defines postmodernism as an intellectual movement that emerged in the late 20th century in response to modernism. Postmodernism embraces playfulness, fantasy, irony and rejects institutional control. It is inspired by the past and values imagination over reason. The document also discusses how digital technologies and mass media have influenced popular culture, providing examples like social media platforms, streaming services, and communication technologies. It notes how these technologies have increased access to media and supported advertising and free expression.

Polf09
The document discusses several topics related to film and culture, including:
1) Early beliefs saw film as an accurate representation of reality and a tool for political propaganda. World War I marked the first explicit political uses of film.
2) Historical films are often not realistic portrayals and spark debates about accuracy. Claims of accuracy in films like "Apocalypse Now" and "The Hurt Locker" are disputed.
3) The relationship between objective history, social myths perpetuated in culture, and maintaining social cohesion is examined.

Narrative Theory
The document discusses several influential narrative theorists and their contributions:
1) Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian fairytales and identified character archetypes like the hero, villain, donor.
2) Tzvetan Todorov proposed most narratives have an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption, then resolution to a new equilibrium.
3) Roland Barthes identified five codes that structure narratives: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, cultural.
4) Claude Levi-Strauss studied how myths unconsciously reflect a culture's beliefs through binary oppositions like civilized/savage.
Social tagging 663
The document discusses social tagging in library OPACs. It defines key terms like social tagging, folksonomies, and social annotations. It examines current research on comparing social tags to controlled vocabularies. The document also explores how social tagging is being used in libraries, providing examples from Seattle Public Library. It considers benefits and challenges of social tagging, such as who has authority over tags and potential problems like inconsistent tags.
Course calendar summer 2010 p 1
This course examines the social and political implications of the British detective play genre. Students will read plays from 1840s crime melodramas to contemporary works, analyzing how they adhere to and subvert audience expectations of formulaic mysteries. Key questions include exploring how detective plays shape ideologies and portrayals of "reality"; whether they are merely entertainment or enable critical analysis; and how representations of race, class, gender, and sexuality reflect and challenge conventions over time. Required texts include works by Agatha Christie, Martin McDonagh, Joe Orton, J.B. Priestley, and Tom Stoppard.
Vicki Callahan: Hacking the Classroom
This document discusses collaborative storytelling and how it can challenge traditional narratives by blurring fictional and non-fictional worlds. It explores how counter narratives and alternative voices through techniques like ethno-fiction, ethno-performatives, serious play, remixing and social media can provide alternative perspectives on history and give voice to those who have been marginalized. The document also mentions courses on these topics taught by Vicki Callahan at the USC Institute for Multimedia Literacy.
Vicki Callahan C&W 2012
Presentation for Computers and Writing, 2012 for the panel: Hacking the Academy. Here I examine the notion of "Hacking Narratives" through the collaborative storytelling project. A number of narratives are hacked from historical to authorial with displacement of time and authority producing new possibilities.
postmodernism and popular culture
This document discusses postmodernism and its relationship to popular culture. It notes that postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction to modernism. Postmodern authors reject objective truth and celebrate multiple meanings in works. It also rejects distinctions between high and low art forms. Postmodernism questions rationalist European philosophy and argues that cultural constructions serve to empower dominant social groups. Beginning in the 1980s, postmodernism emerged across various fields like art, architecture, literature, and fashion.
Sarcasm
There are three types of sarcasm or irony identified by the Roman rhetorician Quintilian over 2,000 years ago based on inconsistencies between a statement's literal meaning and its delivery, speaker, or topic. Studies have also found that gender and occupation can indicate a person's likelihood to use and detect sarcasm, with men using it more for self-protection and women for intimacy and vulnerability. Sarcasm can also take the form of ironic insults that appear positive on the surface but intend negativity.
Sarcasm
The document discusses sarcasm and different types of sarcasm. It describes how sarcasm is used differently based on factors like gender, occupation and social class. There are three main types of sarcasm identified by Quintilian - when the literal meaning does not match the delivery, speaker's character, or topic. The document also lists several websites known for their sarcastic humor.
Audience investigation
The document discusses several theories related to media audiences:
- The two-step flow theory explains how information spreads from media to opinion leaders to the general audience.
- The hypodermic syringe model from the 1920s viewed audiences as vulnerable to manipulation by media producers.
- Laura Mulvey's "male gaze" theory from 1975 argues that audiences view characters in film from the perspective of a heterosexual male.
- Bulmer and Katz's uses and gratification theory from 1974 examines why audiences use media for entertainment, social relationships, identity, and information.
- These audience theories can be applied to the horror genre, such as viewing females through the male gaze in horror films with a male killer targeting women.
Representation investigation - Charlotte Joyce
Representation refers to how aspects of reality are constructed in media. Representation theorists Stuart Hall, David Chandler, and Laura Mulvey explored how social groups are portrayed and how audiences interpret media texts. Hall discussed dominant codes and preferred readings, while Chandler's "gaze theory" examined how audiences view media portrayals. Mulvey's "male gaze" argued that films are made from a male viewpoint, portraying women as objects of desire. These theories are relevant to analyzing the horror genre, where males often fill antagonist roles, audiences can interpret symbols differently, and females are commonly depicted as needing protection.
Polf10
The document discusses several topics related to film and culture, including:
1) Early beliefs saw film as an accurate representation of reality and a tool for political propaganda during WWI.
2) Historical films often fictionalize events, and debates emerge around their accuracy in portraying wars like Vietnam and Iraq.
3) There is disagreement over whether truly "objective" history is possible, and how popular myths and culture can shape historical narratives.
4) Myths play an important role in society and film, both reflecting shared understandings and changing over time to represent new realities, as seen in archetypes from Star Wars.
Claude levi strauss
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who argued that human minds have universal structures across cultures. He is known for his theory of binary oppositions, which says that meaning comes from contrasting ideas like good vs evil, dark vs light, and protagonist vs antagonist. Examples of binary oppositions can be seen across genres in films, such as power dynamics in Schindler's List, dual identities in Spiderman, and contrasting personalities in Role Models. Levi-Strauss' work established structuralism and influenced fields like sociology and philosophy.
Cultpresentation
The document discusses the difference between mainstream and cult television programs. It notes that the term "cult" is often loosely applied to edgy or niche TV shows that attract dedicated, smaller audiences. It then provides details about the cult TV show Strangers with Candy, including that it aired for three seasons on Comedy Central and was inspired by a 1970 public service film about drug use.
Are homosexuals born that way
This article discusses debates around whether homosexuality is innate or a choice. It summarizes a debate at an event where a musicologist argued the second movement of Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" had homosexual undertones, angering some attendees. The author is disturbed by such debates among intellectuals that treat homosexuality in an overly polemical way and reinforce the idea that there is a distinct "homosexual character" or nature. The piece also discusses the origins of the term "homosexuality" in the 1860s by a Hungarian activist arguing it was an inborn trait as a way to argue against criminalizing homosexual acts.
Book Censorship
This document discusses censorship and book banning. It provides definitions for banning, challenging, and burning books. It also discusses common reasons books are challenged, such as promoting witchcraft, containing offensive language or themes, discussing sexuality or drugs, and being unsuited for certain age groups. Several famous banned books like Fahrenheit 451 and Harry Potter are mentioned. The document lists books that have been challenged in recent years and the top 10 most challenged books of 2010.

No, Emmeline Pankhurst would not be considered an archetypal representation of femininity. Some key reasons:
- She was a political activist and leader who fought aggressively for women's suffrage through militant tactics like hunger strikes, which went against traditional expectations of feminine behavior.
- Her activism and leadership role disrupted traditional gender roles that relegated women to the private sphere of home and family. She took on a very public role advocating for women's rights.
- Images and descriptions of her from the time period often emphasized her defiance of femininity through her strong public speaking, willingness to be arrested and imprisoned for her cause, and other assertive tactics.
- She challenged patriarchal power structures and norms
Postmodernism & Popular Culture
This document discusses postmodernism and some of its key influences and characteristics. It provides definitions for different types of capitalism and consumerism. Postmodernism questions rationalist European philosophy and is a reaction against modern philosophical assumptions. Some influences of postmodernism discussed include art, technology, fashion, television, advertising and popular culture. Popular culture reflects cultural activities and commercial products aimed at mass tastes, and can be analyzed through production, textual, audience and historical lenses.
Week Four Part II
The document summarizes J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels and their critique of celebrity culture on two levels - the affectivity of celebrity culture and the commodification of cultural celebrities. While the novels indict these aspects of celebrity, they also rely on celebrity culture for their own success, representing a paradox in Rowling's critique. The novels establish Harry's constant quest for real virtue over celebrity status as he rejects the emotional reactions his fame provokes. They also condemn inauthentic celebrities like Gilderoy Lockhart who is artificially manufactured for profit.

192 POP CULTURE FREAKS
visited by students from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France and the
Durmstrang Institute, located somewhere in northern Europe (possibly Nor-
way) (see Image 7.1). These students have come to participate in the Triwizard
Tournament, a competition among Europe’s three largest schools for magic:
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. We also learn in the same novel of
an unnamed school in Brazil and of the Salem Witches’ Institute. The online
Pottermore, an interactive space in which users can further explore the world
of Harry Potter, tells us of a school in Japan called Mahoutokoro.* So the se-
cret world of magic is an international one to be sure.
An intriguing aspect of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is that it blends
the story of the Triwizard Tournament with the story of the Society for the
Promotion of Elfish Welfare (S.P.E.W.), the brainchild of Hermione Granger,
known to some as the brightest witch of her age. S.P.E.W. offers Hermione
the opportunity to argue for the rights of house-elves, a species of magical
creatures who were enslaved to magical families. In the earlier novel Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry frees a house-elf named Dobby from
his cruel master, Lucious Malfoy, by tricking Malfoy into handing Dobby a
sock (Rowling 1999). The only way to free a house-elf is to give him or her an
item of clothing. Harry earned a loyal friend thanks to his success at freeing
Dobby. But Dobby is not the only house-elf in the magical world, and Hermi-
one’s creation of S.P.E.W. allows her to petition for the freedom of house-elves
everywhere, beginning with those working in the kitchens of Hogwarts. She
chastises Harry and Ron for their ignorance of the plight of house-elves: “You
do realize that your sheets are changed, your fi.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Final Thesis
The document discusses the television show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and how reception theory can be used to analyze it. Reception theory focuses on how audiences interpret and make meaning from media, rather than just accepting the message intended by the creator. While "Buffy" presents mainstream ideals on the surface, it also includes subversive elements that empower marginalized groups through alternative interpretations. The show features one of the first lesbian relationships on television and challenges gender norms, allowing queer and feminist readings. Reception theory posits that audiences can "poach" from dominant works and construct their own meanings, finding representation where the creator did not intend it.

creatures who were enslaved to magical families. In the earlier novel Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry frees a house-elf named Dobby from
his cruel master, Lucious Malfoy, by tricking Malfoy into handing Dobby a
sock (Rowling 1999). The only way to free a house-elf is to give him or her an
item of clothing. Harry earned a loyal friend thanks to his success at freeing
Dobby. But Dobby is not the only house-elf in the magical world, and Hermi-
one’s creation of S.P.E.W. allows her to petition for the freedom of house-elves
everywhere, beginning with those working in the kitchens of Hogwarts. She
chastises Harry and Ron for their ignorance of the plight of house-elves: “You
do realize that your sheets are changed, your fi.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Final Thesis
The document discusses the television show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and how reception theory can be used to analyze it. Reception theory focuses on how audiences interpret and make meaning from media, rather than just accepting the message intended by the creator. While "Buffy" presents mainstream ideals on the surface, it also includes subversive elements that empower marginalized groups through alternative interpretations. The show features one of the first lesbian relationships on television and challenges gender norms, allowing queer and feminist readings. Reception theory posits that audiences can "poach" from dominant works and construct their own meanings, finding representation where the creator did not intend it.
Thesis
This document provides an overview of the evolution of young adult fiction. It discusses how the genre emerged in the 1960s with more realistic stories that dealt with darker topics compared to earlier romanticized works. A key turning point was S.E. Hinton's 1967 novel The Outsiders, which was grounded in real teenage experiences. Later authors further expanded the genre by addressing complex issues. The document then examines how the genre has grown, with audiences now including those up to age 25. It analyzes the impact of the Harry Potter series in popularizing fantasy works for young adults and fueling the commercial success of the genre.

978 1-4438-1394-5-sample
This document provides an introduction and preface to a collection of academic papers exploring the worldwide influence of the Harry Potter novels. It discusses how the Potter stories attract multi-disciplinary analysis and commentary from a variety of perspectives due to their epic qualities and similarities to real life. The preface highlights several papers that examine the novels through psychological, fatherhood, moral development, reader response, post-colonial, historical trauma and religious lenses. It argues that Potter Studies is an inclusive field not limited to typical literary theories but attracting meaningful contributions from diverse academic areas.
Dystopian world
This document discusses dystopian fiction and its development over time. Some key points:
1. Dystopian fiction emerged in the early 20th century in response to totalitarian regimes and world wars. Authors like Orwell and Burgess used dystopias to critique present tendencies and warn of potential dark futures if unchecked.
2. Dystopias depict gloomy, oppressive futures where individuals have little freedom or choice. Societies are often controlled through psychological manipulation and lack of individualism.
3. The genre absorbed modernist techniques and responded to rapid social and technological changes of the time. It questioned political structures and assumptions from the post-Enlightenment era.
4. Dystopian fiction provides

The Audio Media Revolution: The Influences of Podcasts on the Creation of Fan...
This document analyzes how fans of the "Serial" podcast collectively developed theories and interpretations of the case on subreddit forums like r/serialpodcast. It discusses how fans worked together to fill in narrative gaps, sometimes creating their own speculative versions of events ("fanon") in a way similar to fan fiction writers. However, these conspiracy theories sometimes led to false accusations or doxxing of innocent people. The document examines this community through the lenses of participatory culture, transformative works, and collective meaning-making online.
Media Theory
The document summarizes several media theorists and their perspectives on representation. It discusses Laura Mulvey's concept of the male gaze and how women are portrayed as passive objects in film. John Berger's theory that women appear for male objectification across media is also mentioned. Theories by Alvarado, Bell Hooks, Stuart Hall, and others address how ethnicity, race, gender, and class are commonly represented and interpreted in Western media through stereotypes, exoticism, and blurred associations. Narrative and audience reception theories are also briefly outlined.
Foucault and Queer Theory
This document provides an overview and introduction to Michel Foucault and queer theory. It discusses Foucault's influential work on the relationships between knowledge, power, and sexuality. Foucault challenged traditional narratives of sexual liberation and argued that discourse around sexuality is used to regulate and control people. Queer theory emerged from these ideas and critiques binaries like heterosexual/homosexual. The document provides context on Foucault and queer theory to set up an exploration of Foucault's influence on the development of queer thinking.
The philosophy of the x files
This document provides an overview and introduction to a book titled "The Philosophy of The X-Files". It discusses the goal of exploring philosophical themes and ideas found in popular culture works.

This document provides an overview and analysis of the representation of Black bodies and agency within the genre of Afrofuturism and superhero comics. It begins by contextualizing the superhero figure as a cultural artifact that has shaped understandings of humanity and possibility. It then examines the genealogy of superhero comics, tracing their origins in modern anxieties over concepts like truth and justice. The document analyzes how mainstream comics typically reinforce societal norms, while independent comics challenge established power structures. The analysis then shifts to exploring Afrofuturist works that reimagine Black bodies and identities through speculative lenses, critiquing notions of posthumanism. The goal is to trace the politics of Black bodies in Afrofut

1. Postmodern art explores how meaning is constructed and questions traditional narratives of art history.
2. Artists examine issues of representation, gender, sexuality, race, and marginalized groups who have been excluded from dominant historical narratives.
3. Postmodernism includes a critique of originality, universal histories, and the grounds of difference that have been used to privilege certain groups over others.

More from Anastasia Salter
Verbs of Play
The document discusses different types of games and code that promote diversity and inclusion. It mentions how smaller, indie games have more freedom to be experimental compared to bigger budget games. It also discusses three types of feminist code: code for feminist purposes, code-like works not meant to be executed, and code that allows for a different feminist approach to software development. The document reflects on how playing games where you can damage characters can feel like "killing my babies," but explores how representing diverse experiences through games, even if imperfect, expands representation and is valuable.
Lookin' Good, Daddy
This document contains summaries and discussions of several topics related to diversity and representation in video games, including:
1) A discussion of "culture wars" between social justice advocates and opponents, arguing that advocates are making progress through compassion and challenging norms.
2) Analyses of how games represent different identities beyond the "default" player and how experimental games with smaller budgets can take more risks in representation.
3) Discussions of visual novels, queer representation in games, and balancing accurate portrayal with genres like dating sims that may unintentionally reduce characters.
4) References to tools like Ren'Py that allow creating visual novels and debates around ensuring representation avoids stereotypes or making identity a character's sole
MLA 18: Super Social Justice Warriors
Green Arrow has become a social justice warrior character under recent Rebirth comics, reflecting contemporary political issues and questioning how a billionaire can fight against inequality. The character struggles with his wealth conflicting with his Robin Hood inspiration of fighting against the wealthy elite. Previous 1980s comics portrayed Green Arrow as a more lighthearted vigilante who still promoted fair notions of justice without being as angsty as other vigilantes. Vigilante justice in comic books helped normalize violence operating outside the law but still aiming to submit criminals to the justice system without killing opponents.
MLA 18: Games Trolls Play
In 2014, feminist discourse within the games community came under attack from the “anti-SJW” movement of #GamerGate. The movement brought with it new levels of understanding of the personal risk undertaken by progressive voices in conservative communities, with tactics including trolling, doxxing, swatting, and revenge porn all rising in popularity and visibility. I will examine #GamerGate’s rhetorical strategies and particularly their emphasis on owning language, encouraging a culture of silence through fear while using apparent marginalized voices (the #notyourshield campaign) as part of a fake news strategy for creating the illusion of a diverse coalition of support. With many of the same figures and news sources involved in GamerGate now continuing to rise as part of the so-called alt-right, these tactics and their impact demonstrate the consequences of visibility, particularly for women and nonbinary individuals engaging with the current discourse on social media.
AnthropologyCon
This document contains excerpts from multiple sources discussing various aspects of games. It begins by introducing Anastasia Salter and her research interests in narrative games and platforms. Several excerpts discuss how game studies has focused on differences from other media but also note similarities. Other excerpts discuss how AAA games reinforce social norms, how games can make rhetorical arguments through processes, and how violence is often the default choice in many genres. The document concludes by encouraging making games.
Not Just Point and Click
This document discusses several topics related to video games including: the popularity of violent games in times of conflict and hate; how games can make procedural arguments through their systems and mechanics rather than through words or images; debates around narrative and medium specificity in game studies; designed identities in games and the types of stories typically told for different player identities; and how smaller, experimental games have more creative freedom than big budget titles. It also briefly summarizes several games and concepts including code as feminist act, different game development tools, and how one developer drew inspiration for a game about soothing a crying child from his own experiences as a parent.
This is fine.
This document summarizes and categorizes games created in response to the 2016 US election. It divides the games into three categories: informative games that spread knowledge, satirical games that engage in parody/stereotyping, and reflective games that share personal experiences of injustice. It acknowledges that many of these games served as an outlet for catharsis among designers and players in response to the polarizing election. In closing, it thanks the readers for their time.
You're the Star of the Story: Adventure Games in Virtual Reality
This document discusses adventure games and walking simulators, and their potential in virtual reality. It notes that adventure games are narrative and character-driven, without violence or resource management. Walking simulators focus on exploration and discovery through a leisurely pace. Challenges in VR include the interface, identity issues from embodying an avatar, and potential disembodiment. A case study discusses translating the TV show Rick and Morty into a VR adventure. Overall, the document analyzes the storytelling potential of adventure-style games in VR, but notes technical and narrative hurdles that must be addressed to fully realize this potential.
Playing the Capstone
This document discusses reimagining capstone courses as games to make them more engaging for students. It provides examples of how elements from games like quest structures, badges, social communities, and alternate reality games could be incorporated. The document outlines a 5-step process for designing an educational game: 1) plan objectives, 2) build the storyline, 3) create clues and tasks, 4) include a final challenge, and 5) provide reflection. Examples of existing educational alternate reality games are provided. The goal is to get students to autonomously apply their knowledge, think critically, and demonstrate skills like leadership through a game-like project experience.
Always Be Batman
The document traces the history of Batman from his origins in comic books in 1938 to recent portrayals in films and television. It examines how Batman has reflected and commented on the social and political contexts of the times, from World War 2 propaganda to responses to censorship in the 1950s to commentary on issues like Vietnam and police brutality. Key events that shaped Batman's character and message over time include the introduction of the Comics Code Authority, the 1960s Batman television series, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, and more recent films that have tackled issues like gun violence and toxic masculinity.
Game-Based Learning
Game-based learning involves using games and gamification to engage students and teach concepts and skills. The document lists several projects Anastasia Salter worked on involving game-based learning, including developing badges and communities for social media games, running a games research group, consulting on developing a game layer for the Harry Potter universe, creating alternate reality games, and developing games to teach cultural transfer and visual impairment skills.
Tumbling and Trolling
This document summarizes research on social media platforms and their role in public discourse. It discusses how platforms like Tumblr enable the formation of counterpublics but also allow trolling behavior. Tensions exist between desires for privacy and public performance online. While Tumblr supports feminist discussion, it does not prevent trolling or the need to educate others. Overall, the document examines the complex relationship between social media platforms and their impact on online communities and public debates.
Being seen
This document provides tips for academics to increase their online visibility, including making an online hub with their own domain, using Twitter carefully to share ideas, writing publicly but carefully, effectively participating in conferences including attending banquets, and sending a consistent message about who they are.
Whose Fantasy is it Anyway?
This document discusses the history of women's representation and participation in gaming industries such as video games, tabletop roleplaying games (RPGs), and wargaming. It provides statistics showing women remain underrepresented in video game industry jobs. It also discusses early involvement of women in tabletop RPGs and wargaming, including one of the first published D&D adventure modules co-authored by Judy Kerestan in 1976. Finally, it notes the new D&D Player's Handbook explicitly discusses gender diversity and fluidity in character creation.
Code before Content (elo slides)
This document discusses issues around gender and culture in programming, games, and electronic literature. It provides statistics showing gender disparities in various tech fields. It also examines the "brogrammer" stereotype and culture and how that can discourage women. Several passages discuss feminist approaches to coding and creating digital works, as well as debates around the purpose and history of tools like Twine. The document presents a variety of perspectives on these topics from scholars and creators in the field.
Make it work
This document discusses the educational potential of video games and digital media. It contains quotes from several experts and scholars such as Ian Bogost, James Paul Gee, and Barack Obama who argue that games can help develop important problem solving and systems thinking skills. They note that games externalize how the human mind works better than other technologies. The document also describes several alternate reality games and educational games created by Anastasia Salter to engage students in creative problem solving.
Back to the Shire: Lego Dimensions and Intertextual Transmedia Play
The document discusses Lego Dimensions and transmedia play. It notes that kids no longer distinguish between digital and physical play, using examples like Minecraft and Lego sets. It describes how Lego is a transmedial medium that can adapt franchises and bring together characters from different universes, as seen in The Lego Movie. Lego Dimensions is presented as appropriating these transformative practices by incorporating characters from various franchises into a single Lego world and gameplay experience.
Playing Social Justice Warrior
This document discusses the concept of "social justice warriors" and their role in reclaiming video games through cultural revolution. It outlines how social justice advocates are fighting discrimination and lack of diversity in the gaming industry and culture. It also examines how some games are exploring themes of empathy, gender, and social issues. However, there is debate around whether games can effectively convey meaningful experiences or if they are limited due to being performance-based. Overall, the document analyzes the debate between social justice advocates and their critics in the gaming community.
Platforms of Play
Short talk on my research in new platforms for games & creating meaning at the UCF Board of Trustees meeting.
MLA16: The Language of Sexual Violence and the Rhetoric of Consent in Social ...
Anastasia Salter argues that efforts to fact check and criticize feminist academics by groups like Gamergate are not done in good faith and are actually meant to silence women. While fact checking is normally part of academic life, the way these groups have "combed through papers to pluck things out of context" and "the way they speak of feminists" shows their antagonism and intentions to discredit rather than have legitimate discussion. Katherine Cross agrees the process is not neutral but deeply antagonistic and spiteful.

Fathering the Cursed Child
- 1. Fathering the Cursed Child? Gendered Authorship and “Fan” Fiction in Harry Potter Anastasia Salter @anasalter niversity of Central Florida
- 8. Labeling it 'fan fiction' means rejecting its ability to add to the textual universe. Fan fictions represent the fictional universe but do not contribute to it...to call Rowling's epilogue fan fiction is to suggest that it is only supplementary to the fictional universe. Goodman, Lesley. "Disappointing Fans: Fandom, Fictional Theory, and the Death of the Author." The Journal of Popular Culture 48.4 (2015): 662-676.
- 13. Fanboy auteurs like Joss Whedon, Ronald D. Moore and Jack Snyder have redefined the image of the male fan from the stereotypical loner who lives in his parents’ basement to a powerful visionary in the entertainment industry. Kohnen, Melanie. "‘The power of geek’: fandom as gendered commodity at Comic- Con." Creative Industries Journal 7.1 (2014): 75-78.
- 16. The emergence of the vast online Harry Potter fandom was an important sociocultural event showcasing the ways in which youths are able to circumvent the restrictions to content adults aim to put in place. We can certainly consider youth participation in the Harry Potter fandom and their clear interest, through the cycle of production and consumption they created and enjoyed within that digital space, in non- heteronormative narratives as transformative. Duggan, Jennifer. "Revising Hegemonic Masculinity: Homosexuality, Masculinity, and Youth-Authored Harry Potter Fanfiction." Bookbird: A Journal of International Children's Literature 55.2 (2017): 38-45.
- 20. The concept of the author holds more power than the individual figures attempting to wield it, and fans attribute or deny the power of authorship to particular figures according to their public personas and cultural politics. In this sense, fans may withhold or bestow legitimation through the operation of Foucault’s author- function, interpreting text and statements of authority through the public persona of the author. Fathallah, Judith. "‘Except that Joss Whedon is god’: fannish attitudes to statements of author/ity." International Journal of Cultural Studies 19.4 (2016): 459-476.
- 23. Following Rowling's bombshell, journalists and fans debated the "canonicity" of Dumbledore's homosexuality…Rebecca Traister, in Salon, argued, "[Rowling's] pronouncements are robbing us of the chance to let our imagination take over where she left off, one of the great treats of engaging with fictional narrative" (Traister). However, fans have always disregarded aspects of the books that are unequivocally canonical if they interfere with the stories fans want to create, so Rowling's extratextual pronouncements pose few impediments to fans' imagination. But the question of how much influence an author has, or should have, over the interpretation of her text is of obvious relevance to fandom, and fans were divided in their perceptions of Rowling's motives; some saw her as benignly supplying more information upon direct fan request, while others saw a more sinister desire to control the interpretation of her books. Tosenberger, Catherine. “’Oh my God, the Fanfiction!’: Dumbledore's Outing and the Online Harry Potter Fandom." Children's Literature Association Quarterly 33.2 (2008): 200-206.
- 25. Thank you!
