Fandom Theory |
After reading highlights of fandom theory over several weeks, develop your own fandom theory, defined in a paragraph, with references to at least two required readings.
Method: first, draft your fandom theory "freehand" without going back and reading keywords or assigned readings. Next: reread the keywords resource page and list all terms relevant to your theory. Next, make a bubble map of ideas. Then, rewrite your draft, making sure to include the keywords. After that, make sure to correctly attribute sources of the keywords insofar as they are traceable. Make connections to some published fandom theory. More important than tracing the idea back to the "original source" - if that were possible - is showing for readers your connection to prior writers. |
