Analyzing the audio‐visual aesthetics of these videos, I propose a reversal of Henry Jenkins's "additive comprehension" framework, which suggests that fan works aim to interpret and complete the original story‐verse. Instead, I argue these videos reverse the process of interpretation through temporal–spatial transportation and corporeal transfiguration with false continuity editing, acousmatic aesthetics, and gravitational disorientation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
