So in the spirit of works in progress, I am leaving this up here for my reference as well as yours.
Fandom communication on Facebook.
Speech in Moby-Dick
"the atypical nature of most speaking in the novel encourages the negative view[...]that the world is a place where communication is suspect and perhaps impossible" (Barnett 140).
What kind of communication occurs on Facebook, especially in response to fandoms? What views does it encourage? (ie, is the latest media good or bad?)
"the multitude of verbal styles consciously represents the heterogenious collectivity of mankind" (141)
indv fans think differently and have different ideas, but they all generally come to the same conclusions.
