Från romantik till normkritik : Visuell kommunikation inom digitala fangemenskaper
No full textFans and fan communities play an important part in today’s participatory culture. A central aspect of fans engagement in fictional worlds are the fan made artworks, for example fan fiction, fan art or fan vids, inspired by the original story and shared within the community. The article examines fan art related to the fictional worlds of the Engelsfors trilogy (2011–2013) by Sara Bergmark Elfgren and Mats Strandberg, and J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series (1997–2007). The analysis comprises two different motifs, both related to common repertoires for fan interpretation. “Shipping” is the term for fan’s engagement in a specific romantic relationship. In this article, I discuss the romance between Linnéa and Vanessa (the Engelsfors trilogy). The other motif, “racebending”, refers to artworks where fans change the race or ethnicity of one or more character. I analyse fan art were Hermione (Harry Potter) is depicted as black. Fans publish their artworks within the communities where the participants share knowledge, experiences, and emotions connected to the fictional world. My discussion focuses on how fan art functions as visual communication within these specific contexts. While fan fiction is usually described as adding to or transforming the fictional universe, fan art can also be said to highlight or underline specific aspects of the story or the reading experience by giving them visual representation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Enkelsängar, äkta fiendskap och oplanerade graviditeter : Bruket av troper bland Booktoks romanceläsare
No full textBooktok is currently the most influential online community for social reading, and romance is one of its most talked about genres. This article examines how the use of tropes shapes the conversations about books among romance readers on Booktok. By combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, the study offers a comprehensive overview of romance tropes and the various ways in which they are communicated, including an analysis of specific practices. The tropes are used both as a terminology and as a concept which provides the readers a common framework for formulating their own trope-like statements about the romance books. By incorporating humor and presenting affective readings, a considerable portion of the communication regarding romantic tropes seems to point inward, back to the community, providing and maintaining a collective identity and a sense of belonging
