▼ “Revenge of the Fanboy: Convergence Culture and the Politics of Incorporation,” examines the demographic, representational, and academic “revenge” of the fanboy within convergence culture. Specifically, this project exposes the gendered tensions underpinning the media industry’s “collaborationist” embrace of fans through a series of test cases. The first addresses Twilight anti- fandom through a discussion of the Twihate protests at San Diego Comic-Con 2009, Comic-Con’s shifting industrial significance as a promotional space, and fanboys privileged positioning within that space. Moving from localized efforts to contain fangirls at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 to systemic attempts to channel and regulate fan participation, the second test case examines the television industry’s construction of digital ancillary content models through an analysis of the SyFy series Battlestar Galactica (2003-2009). This analysis interrogates how the textual “work” ancillary content performs replicates fans’ tendency to play in the textual gaps and margins, how this ancillary content reinscribes textual authority, and how fans’ labor is ultimately “regifted” back to them as promotional material. The final test case addresses emergent forms of socially networked fan production that attempt to strike a balance between fandom’s “feminine” gift economy and the “masculine” commercial drives of amateur production within convergence culture. Examining the fan practice of filking, or folk songs written and performed by fans, alongside the emergence of Harry Potter wizard rock bands, this test case points towards fangirls’ complicity in professionalizing their male counterparts, and questions the viability of a model of fan production that fuses commerce with charity.; This project ultimately grapples with what I call the “incorporation paradigm” of contemporary fandom and fan studies. As fan studies’ dominant discourse of resistance is supplanted by work that revalues industrial incorporation and celebrates the media industry’s collaborationist turn, this dissertation begins to survey the politics of participation within media convergence. Through an address of the structuring tensions that have accompanied the “mainstreaming” of fan culture, this study exposes broader concerns about the remarginalization of fangirls and studies of female fan communities within convergence culture, and presents a break from the critical utopianism that has characterized studies of fans within convergence culture.

▼ “Comic Books Incorporated: Industrial Strategy and the Legitimation of Lowbrow Media,” tells the story of the comic book industry over the span of eight decades. It explains how this once disreputable but immensely popular medium gradually transformed into a very niche product whose strong intellectual properties became highly valuable to corporate multimedia producers. As such, it provides a historical context for the media convergences that account for the proliferation of comic‐book‐based texts in Hollywood and beyond. Instead of attributing this medium’s dynamic history to changing aesthetics, taste, and public attitudes, it argues that industry economics and infrastructures, and the everyday practices that constitute both, actively shaped this particular media culture by cultivating the context of reception. While this dissertation draws on the growing subfield of media industry studies, the methodological approach is one of historical materialism. It demonstrates how major industry players—in comic books, and later, in television and film—were supported in their endeavors by a regulatory and legal regime that explicitly favored their success. These actors were able to use their resulting economic and political power to effect public attitudes about media. The resulting legitimation of media texts that had previously been considered lowbrow helped to invigorate and stabilize business operations, but also had the effect of containing the industry and therefore limiting certain possibilities within the medium and its culture. ❧ This dissertation is organized around the critical moments in the long history of comic books’ incorporation into multimedia infrastructures: the regulation of comic book distribution in the fifties, the rise of fandom and licensing in the sixties and seventies, and quality media’s embrace of comic‐book adaptations in the late eighties and nineties. Facing shrinking audiences, increasingly niche tastes, disruptions to distribution channels, and a concentration in ownership as early as the 1950s, the comic book business has for many decades confronted many of the challenges that today effect all media industries. In response, comic book companies developed strategic solutions to these problems that have recently been taken up across the entertainment landscape. As content increasingly moves across platforms with properties relying on longer lives over multiple distribution channels, the media industry's ability to push the legitimacy of certain products has become more important than ever and far more widespread. By tracing the history of these strategies back through comic books, which now take up a significant part of our media landscape, these case studies therefore establish a precedent for contemporary industrial strategy. In highlighting the fundamental and long‐standing interdependence of comic book publishing and multi‐media production, they also demonstrate the value of trans‐industrial analysis in media studies more broadly. Advisors/Committee Members: Seiter, Ellen (Committee Chair), Jenkins, Henry (Committee Member), Ross, Steven J. (Committee Member).

▼ Youth engagement in public life is generally acknowledged to be vital both for the development of young people themselves, and for sustaining democracy and enhancing political equality. Expectations about what “good citizenship” should look like are often anchored in conceptions of the informed citizen or dutiful citizen. Evaluated through the expectations set by such models, some are worried about a “crisis” of democratic engagement of young people. A different perspective on the state of youth engagement comes from those suggesting that what we may be seeing is not a decline in youth civic engagement, but rather a change in its nature. According to this argument, young people today are attracted towards a different model of citizenship, one that values self‐expression, creativity, and connection to existing cultural interests and social connections. ❧ In this dissertation, I suggest considering a range of arguments about changing forms of citizenship as an emerging paradigm of alternative citizenship models, reflecting not only new modes and practices of participation, but also different perceptions of what it means to be a good citizen. Conceptualizing alternative citizenship as an emerging paradigm helps us not only to notice common threads, but also to identify gaps and weaknesses in the paradigm as a whole, including a paucity of empirical examination of manifestations of alternative citizenship and a lack of focused attention on the role played by the changing media environment. ❧ This dissertation seeks to address these gaps through an in‐depth empirical examination, conducted over the course of four years, of three case studies representing alternative citizenship enacted within a group context. I focus on groups directed at young people, which bridge cultural participation in popular culture fan communities with civic and political goals. These groups—the Nerdfighters, the Harry Potter Alliance and Imagine Better—share a key characteristic: they encourage young people’s participation and achieve civic and political goals, yet they do so through a language, style, and form that is deeply rooted in members’ cultural practices—a style that may seem whimsical or even bizarre to the outside viewer. These groups’ success at encouraging young people’s engagement with participatory politics by building on their rooting within participatory culture helps us get at the underlying mechanisms and processes that need to be in place in order to achieve such a connection. Through empirical investigation of these case studies, the aim of this project is to improve on alternative citizenship models, in order to allow for a more robust understanding of the changing nature of young people’s participation today.

▼ This study is the first in-depth ethnography of business news in the digital age. It is also the first in-depth study of a national newspaper after online journalism has truly become part of the everyday life cycle of the newsroom. Though The New York Times is going through constant changes in order to adapt to the demands of the 24-7 newsroom, this study extracts one particular moment in the newspaper’s evolution. This moment is a snapshot of a news organization at an especially significant time in the history of news. Not only is the traditional business model of news failing, but this period is also a moment of incredible transformation in the industry in the way that stories are told and in the way that traditional journalists relate to their audiences. This study, then, was conducted at a unique point in the overall history of journalism.; Furthermore, this work has a specific relevance to the study of business news. Situated immediately after the financial collapse of 2008 and during the “Great Recession,” the analysis details how The New York Times business desk approached business news coverage. A discussion of business news values argues that journalists are situated in a larger social reality, and share with their audience views about how the nation and society ought to be. These values shape news coverage.; Furthermore, this study attempts to define what, precisely, is business news. Beginning with an analysis of business news throughout history, I examine the expansion of the idea of business news as a specific form of coverage throughout The Times’ history. The focus then shifts to the present, when business news has a specific section in the newspaper and online. However, business news can be told in a variety of ways, and the negotiations between the various sections of the newsroom, from the foreign section to the national section, reveal how the institution itself creates a definition of business news. Narratives, too, help shape stories that appear in the business section from those that do not.; Most ethnographies that have preceded this work focus on the importance of routine in creating the news. Time and technology are two factors that influence the way that news is produced. These ethnographies are a crucial starting place to assess what remains the same in a digital age and what is different about news production. However, most of these earlier works fail to discuss what happens when there is no routine for creating the news— or establish how new routines emerge when technology interrupts existing production processes. Furthermore, individual action and a detailed look at news decision-making are all but ignored in previous work. As such, this study offers an important addition to existing literature.; The digital age requires reconsidering crucial questions, such as the relationship between journalists and their audience, the distinctions between print and online, the role of multimedia, and the place of social media in the newsroom. This study attempts to investigate these important areas of… Advisors/Committee Members: Gross, Larry (Committee Chair), Riley, Patricia (Committee Member), Overholser, Geneva (Committee Member), Jenkins, Henry (Committee Member).

▼ This dissertation is a combination of a transmedia alternate reality game, called The Resisters, and a written monograph. I developed The Resisters through participatory design with local youth in Providence, Rhode Island, about local people of color’s activism and social movement history. The Resisters’ game-based learning utilized intrinsic motivations and the desire to play in order to develop research and game design skills while increasing culturally relevant information about local history of activism for the game designers and the game players. Alternate reality games (ARGs) are unique from the isolationist tendencies of other interactive games as an ARG is an interactive drama played online and in real world places where people come together both online and in the real world to form collaborative social networks in order to solve a challenge that would be impossible to solve alone. ❧ The Resisters game was designed from physical and digital archival research and was played through an online interface, social media, and in real world locations. This dissertation addresses issues of contemporary archives by identifying The Resisters as a prototype for how to make use of physical archives and transform documents into a publicly accessible and interactive online format. The written monograph investigates (1) the limits and possibilities of archives, (2) exploratory game design and game play with youth designers and college student game players, and (3) pedagogical opportunities for civic engagement in higher education using a culturally relevant game. Using ethnographic methods, I determine factors for an alternate reality game to bring together college students and community members in equal collaboration. ❧ The theoretical frameworks of this dissertation position community-based research as an exercise in collective intelligence and reimagining the past in order to collectively determine the future. Furthermore, this dissertation examines young people’s intersecting and emergent race, gender, sexuality, and class identities as well as how interactive game play translates into real world engagement in social issues.

▼ A growing body of research suggests that we are witnessing new forms of youth civic engagement and public participation, invigorated by digital technologies, practices and cultures. In communication studies, ""participation"" has primarily been theorized in the separate, and so far largely disconnected, subfields of participatory communication and participatory culture. Few scholars have bridged these fields, and while both take civic and political engagement as a central concern, both have fallen short of theorizing how participation in public life traverses the areas of communication, culture, and politics. This study investigates participation across these three areas to develop a model for analyzing participatory public culture and youth engagement in the digital era. The model is based on the findings of several case studies in Medellín, Colombia, developed through a multi‐level, ethnographic approach. The findings suggest that participatory public cultures are cultivated through both institutional strategies and grassroots tactics for participation. The study also finds that efforts to use digital communication technologies to enhance youth engagement are less technologically deterministic and more effective when they are linked to dialogical communicative practices; to cultures that promote the expression of citizen voices; and to political or other structures that connect the expression of voice to influence over decisions that affect participants' material reality. The resulting analytical model prompts analysis of the relationship between institutional and grassroots modes of participation, and critical consideration of the kinds of participation being enacted or offered, whether structural or content‐related. It proposes several analytical dimensions relevant to the construction of participatory public culture, including reducing barriers to participation; creating spaces and cultures of participation; developing capacities to participate; and linking voice to influence. The study historicizes contemporary discourses of participation, and engages scholarship from the United States, Latin America, and Europe in digital media studies, cultural studies, and communication, political, and sociological theory.

▼ This dissertation examines the history of how old movies became valuable and how the marketplace for film libraries emerged and evolved, spanning from the silent feature era to the sale of feature libraries to television. Film libraries—the collections of films that have completed the first distribution cycle but remain under copyright protection—gained value not because of the introduction of new technologies but because of the emergence and growth of specific markets. The marketplace for film libraries first developed in the mid-1910s when the star system, feature film, new distribution infrastructures, and copyright law enhanced the value of film negatives. Triangle’s re-titling of William S. Hart films turned film libraries into an industry problem, prompting the intervention of the Federal Trade Commission. As the vertically integrated studio system emerged in the early-1920s, the top studios subordinated the reissue of films in order to concentrate on maximizing revenue and market share. The transition to sound changed the value of film libraries: the derivative became more important than the copy, a fact that, in the late-1930s, influenced Warner Bros.’ decision-making process about what silent films to save and what to destroy. The post-World War II reissue boom changed the studio’s perception; film libraries became as a vital profit center in the midst of industry decline. In the 1950s, television syndicators Matty Fox and Eliot Hyman developed business models for aggressively harnessing film libraries that gained importance through the remaining 20th century and early 21st century. ❧ This study analyzes the full ecology of the media industries and argues against interpreting the business of film libraries simply as attempts by copyright holders to exploit old assets. Instead, the author calls attention to a dynamic marketplace of producers, intermediaries, labor, business buyers, and audiences. The shifts in this marketplace have carried long-term consequences for the structure of the media industries and the public’s ability to access old works of media and culture.

▼ Groups are an important component of self-concepts and essential to survival; however, the demographic composition of a group often provides important cues as to whether an individual will be accepted and this implicit information can affect our identification with novel groups. Although prior research regarding ambient belonging and group-level ostracism have attempted to address the issue of gender exclusion, no research to date investigates racial exclusion, identity with the targeted group (e.g., racial identity, gender identity), or affiliation with the excluding group. Drawing on several psychological theories including social identity, ostracism, and discrimination, the current research features independently produced videos for ""Digital Heroes"" a group of young Americans interested in new and interactive media, that systematically omit specific racial and gender groups to investigate the effects of racial and gender exclusion on viewer self-concepts, identity, and attitudes. ❧ Results reveal that, for participants that self-categorize with a novel group (i.e., ""I am a Digital Hero""), racial and gender exclusion interact with racial and gender identity in a similar manner: For participants highly identified with their race or gender, demographic group exclusion resulted in lower Digital Hero identity, whereas participants not highly identified with their race or gender reported greater Digital Hero identity when their demographic group was excluded. These findings indicate that identification with the targeted demographic group (e.g., race, gender) activates different mechanisms for coping with demographic group exclusion from a group with which the participant desires to belong, and provide insight into the effects of excluding other demographic groups (e.g., religion, sexuality, body size). Furthermore, although the effects of racial and gender exclusion on identity with the novel group were similar, only racial exclusion increased negative mood indicating that racial exclusion, but not gender exclusion, was personally painful. These findings are relevant to a variety of research areas including intergroup relations, social exclusion, social identity, identity threat, and discrimination as well as fields outside of psychology including communication and media studies, political science, and race and gender studies.

▼ In this ethnographic study of aspiring filmmakers working together to make movies in film school, in the backyard of the film and television industries, I argue that students undergo a “dialectic of professionalization.” Using participant observation, interviews and grounded theory, I found individuals enter film school with varying “factors of individuality,” such as ambition, restraint, and aesthetic subjectivity. Interfacing with curricular requirements to make films, they undergo a tentative, messy yet social process I term “resocialization”: they need to repeatedly ‘fit with’ film crews considered as temporary organizational structures {Chapter 2}. Once resocialized as crewmembers, they exhibit a variety of “tacit knowing,” not only of filmmaking roles, hierarchies, and routines, but also of story, emotion, and characters, thereby “socially making” their reputations even as they discover “artistic discourse” {Chapter 3}. Simultaneously in the classroom, students find themselves embedded in a “cacophony” of conflicting pedagogical discourse about industrial norms, and vacillate between resistance and appropriation in order to extricate their own “authorial” voice. As they form particular reputations and make particular films, they take on the “posture” of “tacit anticipation,” a perpetually alert ‘shape-shiftiness’ that does not fully embrace but cannot fully ignore the call of industry {Chapter 4}. I theorize these changes as “dialectic,” building on philosopher G. W. F. Hegel’s ontology {Chapter 5}. I submit that student filmmakers are not fully socialized in film school as future labor for media industries. Since they have undergone resocialization, practiced tacit knowing, discovered film as formal story, and “hustled” for work, they leave school having been, in various ways, “made productive.” That is what “professional” finally looks like: the more self-reflexive mode of tacit anticipation. Future media production studies must adequately theorize their subjects’ relationships to “work”, “career,” “knowing” and craft “form,” before they can write them off as mere neoliberal “labor.” Advisors/Committee Members: Jenkins, Henry (Committee Chair), Gross, Larry P. (Committee Member), Riley, Patricia (Committee Member), Lutkehaus, Nancy (Committee Member).
