highlyeccentricThursday Night is procrastination central around here ;). Hey, I had 3 and a bit hours of class and a counselling appointment today, I'm entitled to procrastinate.
Which is short for: Catherine Driscoll is awesome. I've been reading an old 'debate' between she and one Michael Hill on Henry Jenkins' Blog, about gender and fan culture, and it's very interesting, although Dr Hill's writing is mired in wank. Concepts: good. Method of expression is, and I borrow a phrase of his, a 'sense-making impossibility'.
Maybe there's not a question there. Here's one - could academic reflection on its own institutionalised scholarly practices of research and citation perhaps learn a lot more than it has yet from fan studies. Something about community hubs and tiers, about canon (and fanon), about flaming and wanks... I could go on. Maybe it still isn't a question.
