pickI enjoyed this—a fun, yet also academic exploration of Jane Austen fandom in its many permutations, from films to fanfic. There was some great literary analysis of Austen adaptations (Clueless, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and the Pemberley Digital series), and the discussion of fandom sparked a lot of thought for me as to how I interact with texts as a fan (beyond just the merch!).
It‘s been a long time since I‘ve participated in a photo challenge, and if anything will get me to join in it‘s Jane Austen. 😄
Above is my hopefully achievable #tbr for August. 3 Austen-ish books, 3 book club books, and 3 random for funsies books. I‘m halfway through Middlemarch so there‘s at least one for sure I‘ll finish - we‘ll see if I actually stick to the plan and get to the rest 😂 #AustenInAugust2019
pickA fun yet still academic examination of Austen fan culture. I really appreciated Chapter 2 about the adaptation of Austen‘s Emma into the movie Clueless (total Betty!). Good chapters at the end about Austen and LGBTQ+ themes/ships. It‘s a little short, I would have liked a few more chapters poking into more crevices.
The second chapter in Holly Luetkenhaus and Zoe Weinstein‘s Austentatious (about Austen fan culture) is all about Clueless.
Total Betty 😉 #amreading
