Doing the Lord's Work
r/fundiesnarkuncensored is a Reddit community that monitors and critiques fundamentalist Christian, namely evangelical, content creators. Many members of the community were formerly conservative Christians who have since deconstructed some or all of their beliefs. This study approaches 'fundie snarkers,' particularly those who have deconstructed, through the lenses of anti-fandom and affect theory, to deepen our understanding of anti-fandom as a …
Redefining counterculture
Fame, Feminism, and Failure
In the wake of #MeToo, the non-profit feminist organization, Time's Up, was started by a group of celebrity women in 2018, only to dissolve four years later, mired in scandal. Using Boorstin's theorization of the pseudo-event, this project analyzes the rise and fall of Time's Up through a multimodal analysis of celebrities' publicization of its launch alongside an analysis of reports detailing its demise. The findings show how the illusory, image…
A Girl Defined by God
Girl Defined is a cross-platform fundamentalist Evangelical Christian ministry started by two sisters, Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal. The goal of their ministry is to encourage women to reject feminism, deny their personal desires, and live out God’s design for their lives: Biblical womanhood, which centers on traditional feminine gender performance, subordinance to one’s husband, and motherhood. This project seeks to understand the ways that wh…
Working the red carpet
This article critically assesses celebrities’ labour on the red carpet, with particular attention to the ways in which they engage with a variety of social and political issues. Through a discursive analysis of three 2019 red carpet events, we explore how the norms and values of the red carpet demand different forms of aesthetic and emotional labour from celebrities. We specifically theorise the concept red carpet labour as the multiple intersect…
Skin deep
In recent years, the Western online beauty community has been embroiled in multiple racist scandals that have resulted in callout campaigns against various influencers and cosmetic companies. Through a multiplatform discourse analysis of two such scandals, this project explores how influencers, brands, and audiences utilize the affordances and norms of social media platforms to manage their roles and relationships throughout these callout campaig…
Platform vulnerabilities
In the summer of 2016, racist, misogynistic harassers attacked comedienne Leslie Jones on Twitter and on her personal website, which they hacked and flooded with sexist and racist imagery stolen largely from her personal accounts. Through a multiplatform discourse analysis of the Leslie Jones attack, this paper examines the connections between platform vulnerabilities and the vulnerabilities of women of color, as well as the links between the ris…
Innocent victims, creepy boys
Following the hack, theft, and digital dissemination of hundreds of nude celebrity photographs—colloquially referred to as “The Fappening”—in August 2014, online news sites filled with speculation about and commentary upon the actions of both the hackers and the celebrities. Through a critical discourse analysis of coverage of the female celebrities and hackers in six online news outlets this project presents “The Fappening” as a case study for b…
Pixels, porn, and private selves
On 31 August 2014 the Internet ignited after the release of hundreds of private nude and semi-nude photos of female celebrities. To acquire the photos, a collective of hackers worked for months to
