Wren, Hue-An. "Analyzing discourse in fan fiction communities for evidence of writing instruction." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3635768.
Повний текст джерелаAt present, it can be difficult for teachers to teach writing effectively in the formal classroom due to large class sizes and unreasonable standardized testing criteria. As a result, many students are unable to learn how to communicate well in writing. Teachers will need to look outside the traditional methods of writing instruction to find ways to teach writing strategies effectively and efficiently. Informal learning occurs frequently in online spaces. Online communities, such as fan fiction websites, offer an opportunity for experts and novices to work in the same digital space where one can learn from each other through interactions within the community.
This dissertation analyzes the discourse among participants in an online fan fiction website, fanfiction.mugglenet.com, in order to find evidence of writing support and effective writing instruction. Participants in the community contribute to the success of writers as they comment on stories and in the forums. Members of the community interact with one another in three different ways: through comments on stories as they are being updated, through comments in the Beta Forums, and through private interactions between beta readers and authors. Comment feeds and threads from the Beta Forums were coded for evidence of writing support and elements of effective writing instruction. Findings of the study centered on motivation and support for writers as they continue to update their stories.
The study creates theoretical constructs to contribute to existing research on educational technology and writing instruction. Based on the evidence of this study, informal learning in the community can be harnessed to teach writing to novice writers. Technology and new media prove to be a useful tool for educators who are looking to for new ways to teach writing. This grounded theory research plans to provide teachers in the classroom with more effective tools. Online fan fiction communities offer students a chance to interact with other writers about stories they have written. Learning from the community has potential to provide motivation for students to write more often and frequently. Informal learning through the community has the potential to give educators a tool to teach vital writing skills.

As a writer popularly known for his fervent self-interrogations and encyclopedic second novel Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace’s most apparent significance in US literary history lies in his explicit response to his postmodern predecessors, such as John Barth and Thomas Pynchon. In his now infamous essay “E Unibus Pluram: Television and US Fiction,” Wallace argued that postmodern authors had over-invested in the literary tools of irony and self-reference to such a degree that they became complicit in the erosion of the same communal principles that broadcast television attacks in its bid for increasing consumer dependency and profit. In search of a way beyond this complicity, Wallace called for a brand of “anti-rebels” who would discard irony for earnest principles and teach us how to resist the temptations of the United States’ consumer culture. This call was heard by literary critics. “E Unibus Pluram” is the center for arguments over Wallace’s fiction, as critics discuss whether that essay expresses the literary project Wallace actually pursued and to what extent it should guide our reading practices. One problem this dissertation identifies in these discussions is an overemphasis on specific devices like irony that Wallace analyzes in “E Unibus Pluram.” Though important for understanding his argument, this overemphasis comes at the expense of our seeing the deeper problem that Wallace identifies in “E Unibus Pluram,” which is the atomization of US culture that is fueled by our addiction to pleasure-based commodities like television. The loss of focus on this central problem has led to confusion in readings of Wallace that fail to see the abiding concerns that he carried from his first work to his last. This dissertation seeks to remedy this problem by reading Wallace’s mature fiction as a developing struggle against the atomization of US culture. In this struggle, Wallace launched a series of increasingly complex narrative strategies for promoting a communal way of life to his readers. This dissertation reads several of these strategies to reveal two developments in Wallace’s thought: his diagnosis of the problems facing US culture as created by an unmitigated individualism and his understanding of the best way to respond to individualism by emphasizing the great importance of social institutions. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that Wallace pictured fictional communities throughout his career as a means of critiquing the atomized space of the contemporary United States. He built these communities to help readers see that there are different ways to occupy the world than those promoted by consumer capitalism, but he also structured his narratives to teach readers how to see and think in the ways he thought necessary for realizing such alternatives.

Повний текст джерелаIn these novels suspense plays an important role, but elements that are usually found in literary works are also prominent in these narratives, for instance the fleshing out of characters' psyche and working with philosophical or current issues. In rhetorical terms these novels can be said to be suspense novels that make use of literary devices and themes. Novels by Deon Meyer fit into this category. In the Netherlands translations of his works are to be found among 'literaire thrillers' in bookshops. Therefore one of Meyer's novels was chosen for analysis. In this study the ways in which suspense is created in a narrative text is investigated. Proteus, a literary thriller, was chosen for its handling of characters and events in the transition in South Africa from an apartheid state to a democratic dispensation. This poses an intricate challenge for the writer. The reseach problem posed is this: How is literary suspense created in a narrative text? The creation of suspense in a narrative text has to do with literary communication. For this reason Roman Jakobson's well-known model for literary communication is at the basis of this research. Rene Appel's criteria for the creation of suspense in narrative texts, as it is explained in his work Spanning in verhalen: Over het schrijven van spannende boeken (2007), is also part of this study at its theoretical base. Various relevant sources have been included in this regard. In this formalistic study various elements pertaining to suspense in the narrative are part of the research in terms of isolating the ways in which suspense is produced in a narrative text in general and specifically in the case of Proteus. Also in this regard the novel's literarity is discussed.

Since the first online fiction came out in 1998, the Internet Literature Industry in China has evolved from a small and immature industry to one that has full-copyright operation model which not only vertically integrates the upstream and downstream industry chains, but also derives copyrights such as films and TV series, animations, games, etc. Therefore, online fictions have become an important driving force for the development of the cultural and entertainment industry, and attracted countless readers at home and abroad; in addition, many researchers from different disciplines also put effort into exploring diverse issues around them. This study first reviews the definition, characteristics and the course of development of online fictions, and then introduces the commercialized website settings and how they influence the behaviors of writers and readers. Previous studies indicated that the relationship between writers and readers has changed owing to the proprietary nature of digital platforms. The readers provide emotional and financial incentives for writers to produce online fictions by subscribing, voting, commenting and sending money. Besides, the collective reading culture, shared language and norms, daily interaction and identification, derivative creation culture are important factors in maintaining the community. The research is motivated by the desire to investigate the phenomenon. Taking the current largest online literary website "Qidian" as a research field, a total of 50 fictions were sampled, 25 from the main Qidian site, the other 25 from Qidian female site. Drawing on qualitative participation observation, quantitative activity analysis and social network analysis, this paper systematically collects, analyzes and visualizes the interactive pattern of the Qidian fan communities. Here the paper establishes the network of “post and reply” to examine the communications patterns of Qidian interaction networks, allowing us to simultaneously investigate the global and local structure of the networks. This paper finds that most posts in Qidian fan communities have few replies and the length of the replies are short; however, a few numbers of the members have a large number of replies, and the degree distribution is found to follow a power law. The forum features dynamic sorting and “pinned post”, which led to the “building culture” in Qidian fan communities. The network density is low, the average path length is short, and the average clustering coefficient is high, which indicates that the networks of the Qidian communities are “small-world” and there are few members serve as hubs to facilitate the information flows within the communities. With the indicators such as “in-degree”, “betweenness centrality” and “PageRank” to measure the importance of the member, the results show that the writers, moderators and the “meng zhu”(盟主) are important members; however, ordinary members can also become crucial as long as they keep interacting and make a buzz. This paper contributes to the online fiction community studies by providing empirical evidence which show how commercialized website settings influence the structure of networks, how these settings affect the content of the posts, and how the fandom culture impacts the dynamics of the community.
