Today it has been 500 days since researcher/humanitarian Joseph Figuera Martin has been unjustly imprisoned in the Centr. Afr. Republic. We call for his immediate release: www.demorgen.be/meningen/hum...

Der Einfluss von Fanfiction auf die Literaturgeschichte ist noch nicht abzuschätzen, ich vermute allerdings, er wird riesig sein.

kulturundkontroverse859.substack.com/p/wer-darf-m...

Viele populäre Autor:innen der Gegenwart haben mit dem Schreiben von Fanfiction angefangen, haben dort das Schreiben und Veröffentlichen gelernt. Tatsächlich kann man wohl von einer regelrechten Schule der Autorschaft sprechen, die auf die Gegenwartsliteratur einen ähnlich großen Einfluss haben wird, wie die Creative Writing Programme in den USA. 2009 veröffentlichte Marc McGurl seine einflussreiche Studie The Program Era. Postwar Fiction and the Rise of Creative Writing - ein Buch, in dem er zeigen konnte, wie die Verbreitung der amerikanischen Schreibschulen seit der Nachkriegszeit die gesamte Literatur maßgeblich und nachhaltig geprägt haben. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass jemand in dreißig Jahren ein ähnliches Buch über den Einfluss von Fanfiction veröffentlichen wird, im Sinne von: The Fanfiction Era.

I made a lil game inspired by the Wordle universe. It's called Versedle (pronounced Verse-a-dle). You guess who wrote famous lines of literature.

As my parents can attest, it's hard! I made them an Easy Mode, but it's still kinda hard. Maybe you'll like it!

So who's teaching about the "romantasy" boom? Do you all have favorite scholarly articles or books for understanding/contextualizing this trend?

What a week at the summer school ‚gender, data and society’ at @dhssfau.bsky.social. I was able to gain so many insights into interesting DH projects and, above all, I met some great researchers. Looking forward to the next opportunity!

Today’s keynote is Gavin Brookes on "Corpus linguistics for gender and language research".

One striking example: James Bond’s masculinity is, among other things, constructed through silence (most frequent trigram in the Fleming corpus is "bond said nothing").
