Charting the Kingdoms Between
increasingly dominant entertainment industry of our age. 3 Being the result of such a peculiar collaboration, that lead to the collision of two iconic product portfolios, Kingdom Hearts provides an ideal case study through which to explore shifts in macro-industry relations, production practices, intellectual properties, and fan cultures within a rich transmedia environment. Because of its long-running nature, Kingdom Hearts also allows observati…
Kingdom(s) Come
Over twenty years since its original release, Final Fantasy VII (Square 1987) fans continue to debate the video game’s world and characters as they are mixed and remixed into new licensed products. This article explores the fan metanarrative that circulates the story, ludology, and industry discourses that bind Final Fantasy VII. It will demonstrate how fan practices operate within community spaces to locate, present, and police both knowledge an…
Time and relative dimensions in serialization
This article investigates the aesthetic of the twentieth-century Metropolitan Police box and its ongoing association with the TARDIS time machine from the BBC’s television science-fiction show, Doctor Who . Doctor Who fans explore the police box aesthetic through its multiple identities, where it is celebrated, investigated and recreated. This article draws on Catherine Johnson’s theories of pseudo-diegesis and extra-diegesis to demonstrate how s…

What an ambitious u…

To ill…
Settling Like a State
In Canada, the phenomenon of urban refugees is largely an expression of state-managed practices, not spontaneous migration and settlement. This study focuses on the distinctly North American, and specifically Canadian, experiences of pre-meditated, state-planned, government-managed migration and settlement for urban refugees from the Aceh region of Indonesia to Vancouver, British Columbia in 2004. It explores why and how these refugees came to Va…
When Head Office Was Upstairs
This paper undertakes a case study into the impact of corporate concentration on the newsroom at CKCK (CTV) Television in Regina, Saskatchewan. By comparing the newsgathering operation from the late 1980s with the one in operation today, changes to the organizational and technological structure of CKCK Television are pinpointed with respect to the effects on the work lives of journalists. This is accomplished through interviews with past and pres…
