That's a great comment! I have an article under review at @jcls-io.bsky.social right now that examines the role of time -- including the release of the Hades videogame -- in this data.

My lovely friend Naomi Jacobs (@ladylark.bsky.social) and I wanted to explore the repercussions of the new-found prevalence of AI on fans, fandom and fan studies. Some excellent scholars contributed articles to a special section of @journal.transformativeworks.org, which is out now! Enjoy!

Using Riveter to map gendered power dynamics in Hades/Persephone fan fiction | Transformative Works and Cultures

Proud to see my article 'Using Riveter to map gendered power dynamics in Hades/Persephone fan fiction' in @journal.transformativeworks.org, my favorite academic journal.

Want to know how fanfiction portrays power dynamics between these two? Read on!

Zingend door de Griekse onderwereld In Hadestown komt de Griekse onderwereld van Hades enΒ Persephone in een musical tot leven. Naast het oude verhaal is er ook ruimte voor een modern probleem: klimaatverandering.

Mijn nieuwste blogpost voor de Faces of Science van de @knaw-nl.bsky.social staat nu online!

In dit stukje beschrijf ik hoe de ultra-populaire musical Hadestown, momenteel te zien in CarrΓ©, elementen uit de Oudheid gebruikt om hedendaagse maatschappelijke problemen aan te kaarten.

Yes I was thinking the same thing! Let's talk more about that. Maybe there is a way you could also use Riveter or a similar method?

Using aspect-based #SentimentAnalysis and #VSMs, they explore how angst and fluff in #fanfiction based on #GreekMyth reshape the reception of the #ClassicalCanon … because sometimes readers just want their Greek gods having more drama, sex, and tragedy... #FanStudies #CLS

Wat is jouw favoriete Griekse mythe? Cultuurwetenschapper Julia Neugarten onderzoekt aan de Radboud Universiteit hoe 'fan fiction' de Griekse mythologie gebruikt. Zo ontdekt ze welke elementen fans aanspreken. Julia is dit jaar een van de #facesofscience van @NEMOkennislink en de KNAW.
