#we talked about problems in fan studies where its overly complementary + assumes fan spaces r somehow in a bubble outside the material

[stonergirlfilmcanon]

had a conversation w the new head of my department about critical fandom studies and how I can incorporate discussions about fandom racism into my thesis (via auto/ethnography as an example) eek I'm so excited for this project

cus it's basically going to be like part 1: textual analysis of IWTV and LDPDL as queering the gothic heroine with a focus on Blackness and gender + part 2: audience analysis (particularly the dissonance between the source materials didactic approach to tackling patriarchy and white supremacy and the fandoms willful ignorance of the text as it exists and otherwise racist/sexist/etc reactions)
