The triality of roles for the trilingual researcher
There are numerous ethical and procedural challenges when conducting cross-language research, and there is a need to discuss the role of multilingual researchers, as much of the existing literature focuses on working with third-party interpreters or translators. In this article, we expand the recommendations for cross-language research for multilingual researchers and health studies, through an examination of literature and processes from a Commu…
Improving human well-being outcomes in marine protected areas through futures thinking
We got you covered
In response to Covid-19, media industries have increasingly relied upon insurance to manage risks to health and productivity loss surrounding creative labor. Analysis of contemporary trade journals reveals how the pandemic prompted new urgency around the question of who could get coverage, both by health plans protecting individual workers and cast insurance policies protecting employers. While Covid-19 risks are global in nature, the lack of uni…

Balancing hope and disappointment
Fishers need to feel they are valued partners in fisheries and coastal management. In 2012, the multi-stakeholder participatory action research Group POPA (For Small-Scale Fisheries in Piriápolis) held the First Small-Scale Fisheries Festival in Piriápolis, Uruguay. We investigated the change the Festival produced in the social representation of local fishers and how it relates to fishers’ wellbeing aspirations. Negative values in fishers’ self-p…

Wired TV
This collection looks at the post–network television industry’s heady experiments with new forms of interactive storytelling—or wired TV—that took place from 2005 to 2010 as the networks responded to the introduction of broadband into the majority of homes and the proliferation of popular, participatory Web 2.0 companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Contributors address a wide range of issues, from the networks’ sporadic efforts to engage…
History and Social Difference in Arguments for the Societal Values of Small-Scale Fisheries in Gujarat, India
From the Ruins
As an industrial practice of cultural reproduction that holds potential for both continuity and change over time, media franchising has offered proponents of “neomasculinity” and other alt-right ideologies a tangible battleground for staging visible interventions into popular feminism and social justice movements perceived to threaten the power of masculinity, whiteness, and heterosexuality. The web portal Return of Kings (ROK) offers an instruct…

Fantagonism, franchising, and industry management of fan privilege
This chapter explores the tensions within fandom and tease out their impact on the world of media industries. Fantagonism captures tensions within fandom, the fans struggle to shape the production of the text and meaning from it, and the ability of producers to respond to and incorporate these struggles into serial reproduction over time, disciplining any petulance or rabidity. The industrial dynamics of media franchising feed fantagonism, reprod…
Social wellbeing and commons management failure in a small-scale bag net fishery in Gujarat, India
Social scientists have long recognized that fishing is perceived by many coastal communities as a way of life that does much more than just provide material benefits. A corollary to this is that fishers are often reluctant to quit fishing. Marine fisheries are complex and dynamic, and are often subject to classic commons dilemmas. These dilemmas have become much more acute in recent decades as pressures on the world’s small-scale fisheries have m…
Intra‐Eu Migration and Crime
The expansion of the EU has generated vast interest and debate about an alleged crime–migration nexus. The gradual disappearance of borders within the EU has created opportunities for easier people movement, and potentially for offenders to commit criminal offences in other countries. The authors have found that little work has been undertaken to understand the general nature of criminal activity by intra‐EU migrant populations. Data on localised…
From food security to food wellbeing
This paper argues that existing food security and food sovereignty approaches are inadequate to fully understand contradictory human development, nutrition, and productivity trends in Nepalese small-scale agriculture. In an attempt to bridge this gap, we developed a new food wellbeing approach that combines insights from food security, food sovereignty, and social wellbeing perspectives. We used the approach to frame 65 semi-structured interviews…
Small‐scale fisheries through the wellbeing lens
Despite longstanding recognition that small‐scale fisheries make multiple contributions to economies, societies and cultures, assessing these contributions and incorporating them into policy and decision‐making has suffered from a lack of a comprehensive integrating ‘lens’. This paper focuses on the concept of ‘wellbeing’ as a means to accomplish this integration, thereby unravelling and better assessing complex social and economic issues within …

May the Force be with Katie”
Responding to the 2010 media discourse around Katie Goldman—a ten-year-old Star Wars fan bullied for her interest in something perceived to be “for boys”—this essay investigates the relationship between industrial logics of media franchising, postfeminist culture, and the vernacular participation of social media users in regulatory ideologies of gender and sexuality. Reading mediated public performances of support for Katie against the hyper-femi…

Participation is Magic
This chapter explores the authorial legitimacy and cultural value conveyed by authorship in a venue that might seem unlikely by traditional standards of creativity and art: the nexus of television and toy marketing constituted by the My Little Ponymedia franchise. It theorizes the politics of co-creative participation, rethinking "collaboration" as a concept that can illuminate the power dynamics and hierarchy in industrial media production. It a…

Figuring identity
Bridging critical race studies with inquiries into media licensing and industrial cultures of production, this research examines the ubiquitous LEGO minifigure as a significant site of identity and power in the construction of both corporate brands and raced bodies. From analysis of the minifigures themselves, as well as press releases, interviews, and other managed corporate disclosures, media licensing can be understood as shaping racialized pr…

A Knight of the Realm vs. the Master of Magnetism
Since 2000, Sir Ian McKellen has transformed from Shakespearian thespian into a fixture of franchise film series like Lord of the Rings and X-Men. For the openly gay McKellen, participation in franchises – and particularly his portrayal of the oppressed minority and mutant radical Magneto in X-Men – presented a chance to position recognizable character brands within his star text and its ongoing engagement in gay politics. What results, however, …

Devaluing and revaluing seriality
Gender anchors cultural negotiations over what media franchising is and how its serial production practices and narratives are valued. Cultural tensions between the economic viability and cultural legitimacy of seriality are both smoothed and exacerbated by the gendered discourses of media franchising. These discursive interventions are evidenced through examination of popular and trade talk about three television serials for which the term ‘fran…

A new Pitheciin primate from the middle Miocene of Argentina
We report here a new fossil primate from the middle Miocene of Argentina. The material consists of isolated teeth, mandibular fragments, and a talus. The fossils were collected in the Collón Cura formation at Cañadón del Tordillo in Neuquén Province. An age of 15.71 +/- 0.07 Ma has been reported for the Pilcaniyeu Ignimbrite, which lies just below the paleosols in which the fossils were found. This material is thus the youngest occurrence of foss…

Adaptive co‐management for social–ecological complexity
Building trust through collaboration, institutional development, and social learning enhances efforts to foster ecosystem management and resolve multi‐scale society–environment dilemmas. One emerging approach aimed at addressing these dilemmas is adaptive co‐management. This method draws explicit attention to the learning (experiential and experimental) and collaboration (vertical and horizontal) functions necessary to improve our understanding o…
Fisheries Co-Management and Legal Pluralism
This paper addresses two issues pertaining to legal pluralism in capture fisheries, particularly with regard to the South. First there is the problem of analysis. If legal pluralism is a common phenomenon, how is it to be discerned and understood? Secondly, there is the matter of institutional design: given the pervasiveness of legal pluralism, which management institutions are better suited to represent and resolve inter-legal system differences…

Strengthening Efforts to Engage the Hispanic Community in Citizen‐Driven Governance
How can the Hispanic community in Utah strengthen its active engagement in government? Interviews by the authors with key government and community‐based organization representatives offer evidence on (1) who is being engaged in the Hispanic community, (2) what are the barriers to engagement, and (3) which modes of engagement are likely to be effective and under what conditions. Findings indicate that only a small elite in the Hispanic community i…
