1xbet best casino website Description

This course will offer an exploration of 1xbet best casino website culture by way of theory and case studies. We'll read key theorists of 1xbet best casino website studies to map the history of and new developments in the field of 1xbet best casino website studies. We'll look closely at two active fandoms -- the fandom ofHarry Potterand the fandom ofHamilton-- and enrolled students will select additional fandoms to study and share with the 1xbet best casino website as individual or joint final projects. Across the semester, we'll be attending to the power and authority of creator and fan, fan identities (in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, 1xbet best casino website , age, and nationality), fan activism, and fan creations (such as cos-play, fan art/music, re-storying).

1xbet best casino website Objectives

• To become familiar with the study of fandom and 1xbet best casino website cultures, including theories and methods of analysis
• To use relevant cultural and historical information when interpreting literature, theory, and other cultural texts
• To participate in lively, informed, and respectful discussions about our reading and viewing
• To develop and apply critical skills for reading, thinking, and writing about several genres
  – what a literary, theoretical, or cultural text conveys (its themes, its view of the world)
  – how a literary, theoretical, or cultural text conveys that knowledge (its aesthetic form, its selection/omission of detail)
• To contribute to current conversations about fandom and 1xbet best casino website studies

1xbet best casino website Modality: We will meet in person for most class sessions, pending the need to go online for COVID or weather. On selected weeks (noted below on the schedule of classes with [A]), we will meet for a portion of our scheduled time, and you will complete an asynchronous activity (shared on Wednesday, due by 11:59pm on Friday) which will represent the balance of 1xbet best casino website weekly time in class.

Readings and 1xbet best casino website Participation: Given the course objectives stated above, this class will foreground discussion. Class participation is therefore expected and will count for 20% of 1xbet best casino website final grade. This portion of 1xbet best casino website grade includes 1xbet best casino website contributions to our discussions in class (in large and small groups) and to our discussions on the online message board (further information below). 1xbet best casino website goal is to be an active presence in the class: you should complete the reading and viewing assigned for each class session, think carefully about it, and be ready to share 1xbet best casino website ideas -- in class and online, synchronously and asynchronously.

Attendance: The University requires that students attend all classes in which they are enrolled, and so 1xbet best casino website attendance is required. Further, 1xbet best casino website attendance is important to the success of our discussions. However, I recognize that the unexpected will happen, especially during the ongoing pandemic. If you miss more than one weekly class session, please contact me, so we can discuss 1xbet best casino website progress and identify the best path forward.

1xbet best casino website Discussion Questions: As part of the 1xbet best casino website participation grade, students will sign up to initiate discussion for one of our 1xbet best casino website sessions. Questions for 1xbet best casino website discussion (4-5 in number) should highlight issues or themes or queries you think we should address in our 1xbet best casino website discussion of the material assigned for that day. After drafting the questions, students leading discussion should email me their questions by 6 p.m. the night before; I will confirm receipt and offer any suggestions for the order or focus of the questions.

1xbet best casino website Message Board: As part of 1xbet best casino website class participation and to practice informal analytical writing, each week, each student is required to post at least one paragraph-length comment (200-300 words) about the materials we’re reading and discussing in class. These posts are intended to help you do the following:

• Prepare for or develop topics and ideas discussed in 1xbet best casino website
• Prepare to engage in the public humanities by communicating 1xbet best casino website ideas and responding to those of 1xbet best casino website peers in a non-scholarly format

I will read these discussions and assess a grade (at the end of the semester) based on the thoughtfulness of 1xbet best casino website comments, their ability to foster discussion among 1xbet best casino website classmates, their responsiveness to our readings, and their ability to "translate" scholarly discussions for a general audience. I'll provide weekly question prompts as I follow these conversations, and I may also participate, but I see the online discussion primarily as a way for you to raise issues we haven't addressed -- or addressed fully or to 1xbet best casino website satisfaction -- during our regular class meetings. The work contributed to the message board can become source material for more formal writing assignments.

The weekly message board will run from Saturday to Friday, to encourage you to post right after as well as before our weekly class discussions, but I encourage you to contribute 1xbet best casino website ideas throughout the week and to check the board for others' postings. Postings will count for half (10%) of 1xbet best casino website class participation grade (20%). If you would like to know 1xbet best casino website message board grade to date at any point in the semester, please ask. I will offer models of successful comments early in the semester.

Paper, Final Project, and 1xbet best casino website Papers: During the semester, you will be doing different kinds of critical writing: not only informal postings to the message board, but also more formal work. All students will write one shorter paper (4 pages in length) and complete a final project (6-7 pages in length); graduate students will also write an abstract of that final project and an essay review of four recent articles about a selected area of fan studies. You will have a choice of two topics for the shorter paper, and you will select a fandom of 1xbet best casino website choice for the final project.

You will also write three response papers (2 pp in length) in response to our readings. Response papers are designed to ready you for class discussion and to explore ideas you could develop further in a longer paper. They are due the day indicated on the syllabus. In 1xbet best casino website response paper, you should not repeat previous class discussions or provide just a summary of the reading. Instead, 1xbet best casino website response should begin to analyze the primary and secondary reading assigned for that class session, selecting an issue or theme or question you feel to be significant. I recommend that you select a word, phrase, or short quotation from the reading to initiate 1xbet best casino website response.

These formal writing assignments should follow the general rules of composition and be typed with standard double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and either 11- or 12-point typeface. Title pages and cover sheets are unnecessary. Pages should be numbered, stapled together, and spell-checked. Papers are due by the date and time on the syllabus. (Note: The University’s Honor Code obliges you to cite the source of any idea that is not 1xbet best casino website own. Otherwise, you have plagiarized. If you do plagiarize, you will fail this course.

Multi-Media Fandom Project: You will choose one of four possible multi-media projects to complete during the semester. 1xbet best casino website multi-media project can be submitted on any class day but must be turned in no later than Tuesday April 26. Each project should demonstrate insight and understanding of the text with which it connects, should be thoughtfully constructed, and should be presented professionally with attention to detail. Refer to the grading rubrics (posted in Canvas as of January 25) for detailed grading criteria. The assignment will be distributed the second week of class, but here are brief descriptions:

• Option 1: Create a soundtrack to represent a fandom that matters to 1xbet best casino website . It must have 5-6 tracks and be accompanied by a written explanation (2 pages in length) of how each selected song relates to the fandom.
• Option 2: Create a collage of pictures and words (cut from magazines or assembled as digital images) that connects to a fandom that matters to you. Include a written explanation (2 pages in length) explaining why you chose those particular images for that text and why you arranged them as you did, given 1xbet best casino website selected fandom.
• Option 3: Select a fan-created object connected to a fandom that matters to 1xbet best casino website . Capture this object in digital form and provide details about where to locate it or about its origin/provenance. Then, provide a close-reading (2 pages in length), interpreting this fan creation. How does it speak to the fans of its fandom? How does the creator view the fandom? How do 1xbet best casino website know? What does it tell us about the fandom and/or the object of fan attention?.
• Option 4: Locate a representation of fan culture in U.S. popular culture of the past three years (2019-2022): a reference or allusion, a moment in which people invoke or depict fans or fan culture. Capture this reference in digital form and provide details about where to locate it. Then, provide a close-reading (2 pages in length) interpreting this cultural instance. For what purpose does it invoke fans and fandom? How does the creator view fans and fan culture? How do 1xbet best casino website know? What does it tell us about the cultural significance of fans and fan culture within contemporary U.S. culture.

1xbet best casino website and video resources: Along with some required viewing (see the film listed under "Required Texts") and required online reading, I will refer 1xbet best casino website to resources available online or on video to complement our readings and discussions. Links within the online "Schedule of Classes" will take 1xbet best casino website to related online resources, and a "Web Resources" link from our course homepage will take 1xbet best casino website to a page of links devoted to our selected authors, their work, and the city of London. I will add and update these resources as the semester progresses; if 1xbet best casino website locate a site or page which 1xbet best casino website find valuable, please let me know, and I'll consider adding it to the existing links.
