That is true, the fans brought in by PC are more open to interpretation and reinterpretation of Narnia in general.
they do, just like in LB! Further up and further in! but, like freud says, all we really want to do is regress to childhood.
XDDD oh man, we are that kid, and do you know what? I love it. rock on, us :D
But somehow the paper would be Susan's observations on herself as she reads the story of her life. IS THAT MY PAPER OR IS IT FIC? Let's call it meta, and let's remember that all meta is really an essay :D
Can I ask, also, what is the subaltern? I wiki'd it and felt satisfied but now I just put the term in my essay and I don't want to have it wrong. it's someone who's totally excluded by cultural hegemony, right? someone who has no power or voice in it and can't possibly ever? oddly enough I'm writing about subjectivity. sometimes I wonder if you should be writing about postcolonialism and literature as an academic because it so makes me think of you.
YES wow you've hit it on the head! Empowerment! And I think it's totally a reaction against the show's 1) focus on destiny, but more importantly, 2) already-determined-bad-end: things are going to be tragic, right, and Arthur's pretty much gonna die. fans want to change things and in this case we have to convince ourselves that we have control of our own futures, that we have power that can be used for good and the same goes for Morgana, that Uther/the Man will not triumph, and that Arthur is not going to be Uther / progress is real and revolution is possible.
But you're right, geez, Merlin's the most intentionally happy fandom ever. wow.
no subject
