The presented paper attempts to elaborate on the topic of computer games modding as an example of specific fan-activity. 1) We draw on Jenkins' definition of convergence culture and 2) attempt to introduce a short genealogy of modding, and in the last part 3) offer an interpretative overview of game-modding from a structural and cultural (social or community) perspective. As a result, we understand modding as a productive activity that has the potential to deterritorialize structures of given material (original game) and contributes to the transformation of the video game industry.

The study focuses on creative approaches to digitised audiovisual material with history-related content, both archival sources and professional arts production. User practice is conceptualized as appropriation, which allows inclusion of many different modes from mere sharing of material under one's title and description, through more or less sophisticated remix, to digital manipulation and deepfakes. Applying critical discourse analysis on a selected volume of examples dealing with the Communist history in East-Central Europe, the study offers a historical interpretation of new phenomena connected with general accessibility and pervasive use of the...

This paper deals with Jane Austen fandom, and works with the assumption that fandom is not just a modern phenomenon but rather a historical one. This text is based on the notion that fandom can be a manifestation of a new form of religiosity, taking inspiration from the term "cult fandom" (coined by Matt Hills). I am concerned with Austen as a published and praised author during her lifetime; how her works came to be a part of literary canon; and how the elitist fandom and popular fandom are both connected to their idol. The aim of this article is to show that we can find roots of fandom in a more distant past, and fans of the canonical writers can...

Adaptation as Fan Fiction Practice in Serialized Narratives

Lucia Kajánková

Iluminace 2021, 33(3):63-75 | DOI: 10.58193/ilu.1712  

The article explores how an official and prestige TV adaptation effectively uses creative practices typical for fan generated content, using a close reading of the series Hannibal (2013-2015, NBC, Bryan Fuller) as an example. The focus lies in serialized narratives, where two different types of source material are identified: the external, pre-existing source and the adapted series itself as it spans several seasons. The objective of the article is to propose a framework for analyzing contemporary adapted works that engage with their source material in a transgressive and/or revisionist manner.
