What follows is the beginnings of an annotated bibliography (still rather lacking in the annotated department, but that'll come with time) that a few of us began talking about and working on around the same time as

hederahelix's eye. It conforms to MLA style, and we're hoping that it'll be a continuing project. If you have any citations that are not included, spot an error, or want to contribute to the annotations, please let me know and it'll be integrated into the next update. This is another small update with two new citations: Saxey's article on Buffy slashfic, and Thrupkaew's discussion of slash as a whole.

(Fiedler gets cited in Penely's NASA/TREK as the scholar who talks about interethnic male bonding, something I've yet to see anyone talk about much in slash at all, despite the fact that in most fandoms, there's at least one "othered" character, one who ususally ends up with a lot of the baggage of exoticized other. Some of the more meta fandoms even make fun of this. One of the examples over at the Sith Academy is the running gag about Maul's "background." No one seems to know what species he is, so people keep mistaking him for a Zabrakian, when in fact, no one knows exactly what he is. By the end, it's pretty much SA canon that he was raised by a tauntaun on Hoth, but that he is neither Tauntaun nor Zabrakian.)

Radway, Janice. Reading The Romance. (University of North Carolina Press, 1991) (I feel like Radway's the mother of certain kind of ethnographies, and she's certainly foundational at removing men from the equation of the "romance," talking about it as a relationship women have with women, and looking how women form groups around popular culture.
Ehrenreich, Barbara, Hess, Elizabeth, and Jacobs, Gloria (1992) "Beatlemania: Girls Just Want To Have Fun" in Lisa A. Lewis (ed.) The Adoring Audience (London: Routledge) Every RPSer should read this--this is THE piece that examines the ways in which girls organize themselves fannishly around boybands.

re fish...yeah, i actually really like that essay...one of the more approachable ones if i recall...i actually am a big fan of reader response (though my germanic background likes to go the iser/jauss route and call it pretentiously reception aesthetics...but yeah, remember the thompkins reader and might have some more stuff hidden away on that in old files...but iser's the implied reader might be a good starting point...and then, of course there's good ole norm...5 readers reading...he has this funky reading of poe in the purloined poe that my students are always a bit puzzled by...)
god, i love theory...she says as the kids are screaming in the background and i'm fixing to move yet another carload full of stuff into the house...in 85+ degrees humid heat no less

btw, after realizing that we have a very high canadian/brit percentage on virgule, i was wondering...when you do mla style, do you do the american punctuation with quotation mark rule?
May 8 2003, 00:12:06 UTC 9 years ago
Thanks. I'm on my way out again, since this is me caving to temptation more than anything else, but I keep popping my head in from time to time.
i still think separating it in direct fanfic, media related material, and general cultural studies stuff might be useful...
Definitely, especially with all the new citations coming in. I'll be sure to add them to the next update.
when you do mla style, do you do the american punctuation with quotation mark rule?
I'm not sure if I quite follow, but I've been brought up (in the Great White North ^_~) to place punctuation inside double quotation marks and outside single quotes, and honeycombed inside each other (when necessary) as: "[quote1]'[quote2]'[quote1]." I think (although I could be wrong) that according to the Queen's English, single quotes take precedence over double, so the order would be reversed. Does that make sense, and is that what you were asking?
May 8 2003, 06:26:18 UTC 9 years ago
Direct Fanfic: "I've got a theory...a dancing demon? No, something isn't right here"
Media-related: "I've got a theory...some kid is dreamin', and we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare."
Cultural studies: "Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be Bunnies!"
May 8 2003, 15:09:30 UTC 9 years ago
Really appreciate all the new citations, btw. Knew this'd be a whole lot better with lots of people collaborating on it. Thanks! I'll be adding 'em all to the next update. (And the more details I get on each citation, the less I have to track things down, so the sooner I can add them. If anyone has things like publishers, location of publication, years, page numbers [for print media], etc. for each new citation, that'd save a *lot* of time and be very helpful to boot.)

a couple of additions
somehow, we left Haraway off. Isn't there a law somewhere that says that we have to put "Cyborg Manifesto" on the list? Maybe we need a whole section on gender and cyberculture. I. pointed me to an anthology titled Reload: Rethinking Women and Cyberculture eds. Mary Flanagan and Austin Booth, and she wasn't wrong--there's a lot of good stuff in there. Of coure, that opens up a whole other can of worms. N. Katherine Hayles How We Became Posthuman and Stone's "Will the Real Body Please Stand Up?:Boundary Stories about Virtual Cultures" in Cyberspace: First Steps ed. Michael Benedikt.Also, I haven't finished it but I started Marjorie Garber's Quotation Marks a while back. Anybody get deeper into it than I did? It's all about the politics of citation, so with the metatextual stuff that might belong.
Plus on the lesbian front there is Sue Ellen Cases's The Domain-Matrix and Wachman's Lesbian Empire. Wachman talks about what she calls "Crosswriting" in which lesbian writers write queer texts using gay male characters--focus on modernism, but if Between Men is here, I figure that should be too.
And somehow we left off Peter Brooks Reading for the Plot which seems wrong seeing as how we are talking about an intersection of narrative and erotics.
The last one that leasp off my shelf at me was Tinker Belles and Evil Queens . Okay, really it doesn't have to belong here, but it's just such fun--the subtitle is "The Walt Disney Company From the Inside Out." It talks about the complicated relationships between some queer folks and Disney--everything from employment issues to queer appropriations of characters, esp. villains.
There's probably a lot more here in terms of reader response theory--but it'll take me some time to sort though what on my shelves.

An addition from a newcomer
Hello, first post here on virgule--very excited to be able to add something to the discussion! A text that's been quite valuable to me during my recent article-writing is Roger C. Aden's Popular Stories and Promised Lands: Fan Cultures and Symbolic Pilgrimages, which includes an interesting analysis of what we seek in fannish communities, especially considering the postmodern, postindustrial society in which we live. Also, thanks so much for the bibliography; I for one will find it very useful.May 12 2003, 07:22:48 UTC 9 years ago
WILLOW!TEXT: Vampire academics never cite me. They think of me as a sister.
PROF!SPIKE: No, you're very citeable. If it weren't for this damned chip, I'd cite you in a heartbeat.
May 19 2003, 19:12:26 UTC 9 years ago
Might be some more...
I did http://www.writersu.net/fep/ for a class... which is APA formatted but may have one or two you missed though some of the pop culture sources aren't as good as yours. (Heh. Also did http://www.dailypunctilo.com/history for class but need to finish it. Oh and http://www.writersu.net/fandomination.pdWhat type of sources are you wanting to include? I know of a number of interesting sources regarding author policy regarding fan fiction... but some are just like little capsule shots.
