What to Watch: Some of the highlights from October’s KCON:TACT!
What to Listen to: Changbin from Stray Kids surprise-released a new song! This Week on 17 Carat K-Pop “Into the (Baseball) Diamond Life” is the latest SEVENTEEN-dedicated episode of the show, including my reaction to their new album, my theories about how this era’s songs are connected to songs from their past eras, and a list of all the accomplishments SEVENTEEN has made this year (so far!)! On “LOONAverse Talk: Episode 4,” I update my LOONA music video storyline theories to incorporate my takeaways from the “Why Not?” video, and I revisit my predictions about what this LOONA comeback would entail! This Week on How to Stan This week’s topic is fan fiction. I break down the arguments both for and against fan fiction from both authors’ and fans’ perspectives and how those arguments can be supported in certain contexts (legal, sociological, etc.). Readings discussed/related to what was discussed this week include: Walter Benjamin’s essay, which addresses the question of how “original” a work of art can be if a copy of a copy of that original work can be made and is made The Organization for Transformative Works and their defense of fan fiction My defense of fan fiction, from the standpoint of fans and authors entering an “Implicit Contract” that can be broken when fans are unsatisfied Fan labor increasingly being relied upon as a form of capitalist currency Anne Jamison’s argument in support of fan fiction The Female Complaint by Laura Berlant The “Contraband Incident” Save this playlist to make sure you don’t miss a single episode of How to Stan! See you next week! Your fellow Carat, Hope
