I'm looking to cite Narutobase in my dissertation. For referencing purposes, is the website owned by anyone?
Fandom Studies! Well, more like a Literary dissertation. Starting research into Death of the Author and the basic question is: 'Who Owns Art? ..the author or the culture that receives it?'In what context would you possibly cite something in Narutobase for a dissertation, if I may so ask?
That's actually really interesting. There is a lot to say on people's obsessions on what is 'canon' and what is not and why they see it as such, Disney buying Star Wars and the fan rage that followed thereafter being the first example that comes to mind. It says a lot on the way people view this kind of media, though I admit that weirdly enough I never really stopped to seriously think on it despite how often its brought up.Fandom Studies!

The distinction and rejection of anime 'filler' is a bizarre controversy that works as a pretty great example of audience behaviour. It'd be one of 3-4 case studies.
Star Wars is another example i'm using! George Lucas has basically been disowned by the Star Wars fans and makes huge changes to his works through the special editions. Which would be fine...until the author makes the original version obsolete and impossible to find. To me, SW is more than a little bit a piece of pop culture by now, would somebody be allowed to paint over the Mona Lisa to improve it?That's actually really interesting.
