Re-presenting the body in fashion exhibitions
Authors: Horsley Jeffrey 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
One of the greatest challenges faced when staging fashion exhibitions in a museum is how to address the perceived disjuncture between garment and body and the resultant loss of those narratives that derive from this interaction. In practice, the location of this problematic decontextualization often focuses on the substitute body, the mount that supports the exhibited garment, and which is predominantly realized through certain commonly employed presentation techniques. Within the context of those presentation techniques conventionally adopted for the display of dress I will examine examples that indicate innovative strategies for the representation of the body, illustrating my argument with evidence from recent fashion exhibitions, and discuss the factors that enable their development and realization. Finally, I will briefly examine digital media techniques recently employed in commercial presentations that might impact on museum fashion exhibitions.
‘Drinking the Kool-Aid’ of cult TV: Fans, followers, and fringe religions in Strangers with Candy and Veronica Mars
Authors: Diffrient David Scott 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article explores episodes of the contemporary American television programmes Strangers with Candy (Comedy Central, 1999–2000) and Veronica Mars (UPN/CW, 2004–07) so as to ascertain and discursively frame the complex relationship between cults (or neo-religious organizations) and cult TV. Although different from one another in many respects, these two TV series share an interest in the cliquish formations of high-school life that divide students into warring camps of insiders and outsiders. Moreover, both programmes contain pivotal episodes in which the ritualistic practices of fictional cults are presented ambivalently – as a source of humour yet also as a gateway through which the unconventional female protagonists pass on their way to self-discovery. That journey has extraordinary resonance for fans or ‘followers’ of these programmes. As argued by Jonathan Gray in his recently published work on ‘affect, fantasy, and meaning’, fans and followers are viewers who are ‘most involved in their consumption’. As such, Strangers with Candy and Veronica Mars deserve scrutiny as steadfastly worshipped texts conducive to the kinds of meta-consumptive discourses and practices that might shed light on culturally entrenched attitudes related to neo-religious activities.
Continuing The West Wing in 140 characters or less: Improvised simulation on Twitter
Authors: Bore Inger-Lise Kalviknes , Hickman Jonathan 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Sharing some of the findings from a study of fans tweeting as characters from US TV drama The West Wing (NBC, 2000–2006), this article uses data from Twitter observation and fan interviews to examine how participants negotiated the structures of Twitter through this activity. In particular, we consider what implications that negotiation has for the resulting fan text; for how participants perform fandom through this medium; and for how they perceive the value of their fan practice. Through this investigation, the article demonstrates some of the ways in which Twitter facilitates and constrains articulations of audience engagement.
‘I’m a Lawyer, Not an Ethnographer, Jim’: Textual Poachers and fair use
Authors: Tushnet Rebecca 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Henry Jenkins’ Textual Poachers (1992) remains an important text for many reasons. I will focus on its importance as a text that, while not in any way lacking in complexity, clearly and accessibly brings forth the positive aspects of fandom cultures and creativity. This is vital for very practical reasons: there are many institutions and copyright owners who believe that fandom should be owned – by them, and not by fans. In this context, Jenkins’ arguments form a key part of the case for continued, robust fair use doctrines that allow fans to make the things that they love to make.
Fan studies: Grappling with an ‘Undisciplined’ discipline
Authors: Ford Sam 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
As part of the Journal of Fandom Studies exploration of the field more than 20 years after the publication of Henry Jenkins’ Textual Poachers (which has been widely cited as one of the first major works paving the way for this area of study), this piece looks back at Textual Poachers’ approach to studying fandom, examines the dialogue that has taken place within fan studies over the past six years, and raises areas of consideration for fan studies to consider in the years ahead. In particular, the piece advocates for the need to continue to evolve the types of fandoms explored by fan studies scholars; to challenge ourselves to examine the field’s tendency to prioritize some forms of active audience engagement over others based on the media format or level of technical mastery the audience uses or the type of media text on which the engagement is focused; and to further explore what more widespread interest in, acceptance of, and adoption of the model of engagement from fandom means for our field.
Fear of folk: Why folk art and ritual horrifies in Britain
Authors: Galea Alexa 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article examines the role of folk art and ritual in British design and popular culture as a horrific and subversive force. Whilst British folk tradition has been championed by the artists and writers Barbara Jones, Margaret Lambert and Enid Marx, and recent revived interest means it remains an enduring and popular inspiration across design disciplines, its deployment to intimidate and the occurrence of horrific narratives and depictions of folk art and ritual remain unaccounted for. In view of Raymond Williams’s text ‘Dominant, Residual, Emergent’ and Antonio Gramsci’s ‘Observations on Folklore’, British folk tradition can be identified as a residual culture, which dominant culture attempts to incorporate as a ‘leisure function’ of itself through reinterpretation and dilution – demonstrated by the shift in common meaning of the maypole. Folk art and ritual such as hair work that threatens the predominant image of an idyllized and frivolous folk culture is marginalized, or othered to the extremity of the horror story. The horrific rendering of British folk traditions in The Wicker Man speaks of an anxiety of their affirmations – that mankind is subject to the sublime chaos of nature and that society and nature are entwined. Folk art and ritual occupies a dual position in British culture and although residual, in its adaptation by the artist or designer it evolves continuously and is bound up with the dominant culture it permeates.
Finding ‘public purpose’ in ‘subtitled oddities’: Framing BBC Four’s Danish imports as public service broadcasting
Authors: Ward Sam 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article looks at the success of Danish drama imports on BBC Four from the specific perspective of public service broadcasting’s definition in the globalized era. It argues that the presentation of the service offered by BBC Four to the national audience has come to be significantly inflected by its importation strategy in such a way that openly co-opts, rather than resists or obscures, cross-border flows. While the BBC faces budgetary cuts and a statutory obligation to avoid bidding wars for imported content, their Danish equivalent Danmarks Radio (DR) offers a source of affordable and consistent drama. The article looks first at the institutional and economic characteristics of DR to show how these imports are formed with both the international market and public service intentions as central concerns. It then demonstrates, by drawing on interviews with BBC acquisitions personnel and press coverage, how these imports have been framed in such a way that ensures their integration with the explicit ‘public purpose’ of BBC Four’s remit.

Dressed in irony: Advertising critique and the imagined consumer on The Gruen Transfer
Authors: Brodmerkel Sven 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Todd Sampson, regular panellist on the popular ABC TV show The Gruen Transfer and CEO of the Australian branch of the advertising agency Leo Burnett, has become a media celebrity in Australia. Famous for his seemingly critical stance towards some of the advertising industry’s practices, as well as his trademark irreverent T-shirts, he appears to present the archetype of an ‘enlightened’ advertiser. The popularity of both Sampson and The Gruen Transfer also reflects a renewed interest of popular culture in the workings and culture of the advertising industry. This article takes Sampson’s performance on The Gruen Transfer and its various spin-offs as an illustrative case to analyse how a high-ranking advertising professional imagines and conceptualizes consumers on a popular TV show that claims to explain how advertising works on audiences. It argues that Sampson’s popularity can be understood by the way he reflects, alludes to and shapes three central discourses characterizing contemporary consumer culture: ironic enjoyment, branded activism and self-branding. Despite The Gruen Transfer’s apparent mission to immunize consumers against questionable advertising techniques, these discourses instead serve to immunize the advertising industry against any serious critique.
Gangstagrass: Hybridity and popular culture in Justified
Authors: Crossley Laura 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article looks at the role of two of the most iconic figures in American popular culture: the gangster and the westerner. Drawing on genre theory from film and television, the way in which the westerner has been displaced by the gangster as the most common signifier of American identity is explored, focussing specifically on the television series Justified (2010-). The southern location of the series further complicates the set of referents by mobilizing aspects of Southern Gothic. While the western and the gangster film have often been viewed as oppositional in terms of location, era and their respective musings on and articulation of American identity, this article argues that the hybridity of genres in popular culture opens up a wider space in which to address aspects of myth, history and social concerns.
Here comes a lot of judgment: Honey Boo Boo as a site of reclamation and resistance
Authors: Friedman May 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (2012-) is a gleeful spectacle of a show, filled with fat bellies, loud bodies, messy food and laughter. As much parody as ‘reality’ TV, the show profiles a southern US family as emblematic ‘rednecks’ and invites viewers to watch, laugh and judge. Yet in the depths of this heavily mediated version of southern American family life, there are strong messages about bodies, about class and about motherhood, and the ways that in transgressing dominant discourses, Honey Boo Boo unwittingly moves beyond farce and instead presents a strong critique of normativity. This article seeks to expose the dominant tropes of the show, especially in relation to three areas: class, fat, and maternity. In exposing the messaging of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and the ways that the show’s narrative both maintains and resists dominant discourses, the show can be seen as an example of resistance and reclamation. Drawing on analyses of white trash culture and presentations of fat bodies, as well as the emergent field of freak studies, the article positions Here Comes Honey Boo Boo within a broader analysis of reality TV that suggests a new phase in our consumption of difference and the fluid and disruptive boundaries of the ‘normal’.
Unpicking the musical city: On Adam Krims’s Music and Urban Geography
Authors: Beer David 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This essay reflects on Adam Krims’s Music and Urban Geography. The importance of this particular book, it is suggested here, is that it provides a deeply integrated analysis of the often overlooked interconnections between music and urban spaces. This essay looks across the arguments made in Music and Urban Geography and attempts to outline the key aspects of Krims’s approach and of the form of analysis that he explores. This piece argues that Krims’s book provides a model for developing sonically aware urban cultural studies. It uses Krims’s book as the basis for exploring a situated form of analysis in which the recursive relations between music and the city are understood within a set of complex and interwoven relations. As such, this piece uses Krims’s work as a guide to unpicking the musical city.
Societies of Occupy: Scenes from occupied Pittsburgh
Authors: Spencer Keith 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The physical and digital fragmentation of the Occupy movement makes it notoriously difficult to define politically: in an attempt to analyse one local movement, the author performed convenience interviews with Occupy Pittsburgh participants, noting demographic information and political opinion. Through repeated interviews over several months, Occupy Pittsburgh became increasingly leftist and radical in rhetoric, even after dispersal of the physical camp. A similar trend seems to have occurred nationwide. The author opines that the organizational model of consensus may be the reason for the leftward shift in values and ideology, and ties this to observational research.
Liberty at the merry-go-round: Leisure, politics and municipal authority on the Paseo del Prado in Madrid, 1760–1939
Authors: Afinoguénova Eugenia 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The article offers an overview of the leisure activities on the Prado Promenade in Madrid (Spain) in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that a historical inquiry into the regulation of urban leisure is relevant for understanding the debates that the Occupy movements of 2011–12 opened up: (1) the meaning of mass public gatherings with the purpose of spending free time; and (2) the balance of power between the state, the city and commerce intertwined in the current definition of publicness. The City Council’s decisions about the methods and the scope of its control over leisure spaces such as the Prado reveal the ambiguous nature of municipal authority as a representative of the people as well as a mediator between the state and the vendors.
Richard Price’s Lower East Side: Cops, culture and gentrification
Authors: Heise Thomas 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article interrogates the dominant cultural narrative of gentrification and its deployment and resignification by Richard Price’s novel Lush Life (2008), set in the historic immigrant neighbourhood of the Lower East Side in 2002. Drawing upon theories of urban development and urban history by Neil Smith, Liz Bondi, Christopher Mele and Richard Lloyd, this article argues that Lush Life (2008) dramatizes the violent underpinnings of gentrification. At the same time, Price’s text ironizes contemporary urban redevelopment strategies that resignify and market gritty subcultural and ethnic differences as style in the service of real-estate speculation. What Price’s novel endeavours to show is that in the midst of disorienting social and physical change, urban subjects construct psychogeographies that reinforce personal and social boundaries. They gravitate towards residual signifiers of history and ethnic identification, which capitalist development itself unearths and reanimates, believing they might hold the key to establishing a stabilizing geographical rootedness at the very moment that dominant cultural and physical meanings of place are being upended.
The London 2012 Olympics: The cultural politics of urban regeneration
Authors: Silk Michael 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Located within the broader urban shifts and transitions under the auspices of neo-liberal political and economic rationalities, this article holds together the mutual constitution of people/place through the London 2012 Olympic Games. Through addressing the regeneration of select pockets of the Olympic boroughs and the discursive constitution of belonging through the opening ceremony, I raise questions about who belongs, who is welcome or (dis-)connected and who constitutes the ‘active’ and ‘responsible’ (and thereby abject and ‘other’) neo-liberal citizenry within ‘productive’ places. With ‘useful’, ‘productive’ and acquiescent minorities reconstructed as citizens and moral subjects of responsible communities, conclusions centre on the tensions over civil liberties and the anticipation of risk within a multi-ethnic London and the on-going processes through which urban populations, urban spaces and citizens become bifurcated in ‘scary cities’.
Temporalizing urban space: The making of place by three Hong Kong writers
Authors: Yee Winnie L. M. 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The formation of a place and community involves both a spatial definition and a coherent narrative of its historical existences. If a cohesive nation relies heavily on a unified and linear narrative of itself, then the acknowledgement of diverse and multiple temporalities would challenge and disturb that nation’s political discourse, which would, in turn, render its identity fluid and provisional. The three works discussed in this review touch upon different issues concerning Hong Kong and China. In various ways, the three writers put temporality on centre stage in order to challenge the notions of cohesive political discourse and fixed identity.
Jane Jacobs and the problem of the city
Authors: Basmajian Carlton Wade 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article reviews three recent edited volumes devoted to exploring the legacy of Jane Jacobs. Including a wide variety of voices, the topics covered in the books range from urban planning to economics to philosophy to literature. They examine the full range of Jacobs’s output, as a journalist, an activist and scholar. More than five decades after the publication of The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961), the volumes speak to Jacobs’s profound and lasting influence on the study of cities.
Changing the mode of production in the field of culture
Authors: Radojević Lidija 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The text deals with the changes in the mode of production in the field of culture in post-socialist Slovenia. Using the theory of historical materialism, it tries to consider the changes within cultural production over the past two decades. Utilizing Marx's conceptualization of the formal and the real subsumption of labour under capital, it sheds light on the introduction of capitalist relations of production in this field. In particular, the text focuses on the institutional changes through which capital subsumes cultural production, and it describes the structural changes that occur when culture is thought of in terms of cultural industries.
Folding the moment - writing dance: A few sketches on recording dance through time
Authors: Kopač Andreja 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The beginnings of ballet as theatrical dance coincide with the beginnings of recording movement, at first in the form of notational systems, which reach their peak at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when it is becoming increasingly evident that dance notation systematization is a utopian task. Each recording of movement proves to be a unique analytical system allowing insights both in movement representations of a certain time and at the same time in the problematic of movement as such. The recording of contemporary dance outside the ballet institution is thus defined primarily with the particularity of own (auto)biographical writing and with education and the establishment of dance schools that see to the preservation of dance languages. Both these moments are important for the development of Slovene contemporary dance; whereas the present recording of dance is entirely subjected to particular patterns of seeing and intellectualisation of the seen.
Die Konvergenz der religionsrechtlichen Systeme in Europa
Authors: Robbers Gerhard 
Published: May 2014

Zusammenfassung
Unter dem Einfluss der europäischen Rechtsentwicklung lösen sich die nationalen religionsrechtlichen Traditionen und ihre regionalen Besonderheiten nicht auf, aber gleichen sich einander an. Die französische Laizität hat sich im 20. Jahrhundert in die Richtung einer vielgestaltigen Kooperation von Staat und Religionsgemeinschaften gewandelt, während sich das britische und das skandinavische Staatskirchentum in Richtung religiöser Neutralität des Staates bzw. einer Entstaatlichung der Kirche entwickeln. Auch nichtchristliche Religionsgemeinschaften sind in diese europäische Konvergenzbewegung einbezogen.

Das Paradigma der Dramaturgischen Homiletik bereichert die homiletische Landschaft in Deutschland. Kasualpredigten sind hierbei bisher allerdings nur wenig im Blick. Der Artikel macht den dramaturgischen Ansatz für den Kasus Bestattung fruchtbar: Im Wechselspiel von aktuellen kasualtheoretischen Fragestellungen mit Werkstücken aus Medien, Literatur und Predigtpraxis wird nach den Chancen eines RedenIn biografischen Szenen gefragt. Was trägt dieses zur Würdigung der Individualität gelebten Lebens bei? Inwieweit hilft es den Trauernden bei Prozessen des Erinnerns und Deutens und erschließt Trosträume?
Die Öffentliche Sichtbarkeit der Religion in der Tschechischen Republik infolge des Gesetzes über die Kirchen und Religionsgesellschaften (2002)
Authors: Přibyl Stanislav 
Published: May 2014

Zusammenfassung
Das Verhältnis von Religionsgemeinschaften und Gesellschaft ist durch das neue tschechische Kirchengesetz von 2002 entspannt und vereinfacht worden. Dieses Gesetz strukturiert das Verfahren der offiziellen Registrierung von Kirchen und Religionsgesellschaften in neuer, transparenter und liberaler Weise. Seit dem Inkrafttreten des Gesetzes wurden bisher vierzehn neue Subjekte registriert, einschließlich solcher buddhistischer oder hinduistischer Herkunft. Auf Grund ihrer geringen Größe dürfen die neu registrierten Religionsgesellschaften bisher nicht in der Öffentlich-rechtlichen Sphäre wirken, etwa in der Armee, im Gefängniswesen, im staatlichen Schulwesen und bei der Eheschließung. Gleichwohl ist mit dem neuen Gesetz eine für alle Beteiligten klarere Situation entstanden.
Der Öffentlich-rechtliche Status für Religionsgesellschaften im Lichte der neueren Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte
Authors: Heinig Hans Michael 
Published: May 2014

Zusammenfassung
Religion ist nicht nur Angelegenheit des Einzelnen, sondern immer auch Sache von Gemeinschaften. Für deren Organisation stellen die europäischen Staaten unterschiedliche zivil-oder Öffentlich-rechtliche Formen bereit. Diese unterliegen nationalem Recht, müssen sich aber im Streitfall vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte als gerichtsfest erweisen. Am Beispiel der Entscheidung zur (Nicht-) Anerkennung der Zeugen Jehovas in Österreich wird gezeigt, welchen Tendenzen die europäische Rechtsprechung im Blick auf das nationalstaatliche Religionsrecht folgt.
Die Diakonie in Europa
Authors: Wegner Katharina 
Published: May 2014

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die sozialrechtlichen Themen und Verfahren der europäischen Institutionen, die für die Arbeit der Diakonie von Bedeutung sind - etwa das europäische Vergaberecht für soziale Dienstleistungen oder die Förderpolitik der EU in ihrer Auswirkung auf die Armutsbekämpfung. In diesen und anderen Fällen betreibt die Diakonie eine gut vernetzte und nicht selten erfolgreiche Lobbyarbeit. Deren Aktivitäten gehen weit über institutionelle Eigeninteressen hinaus, insofern die Diakonie sich selbst dezidiert politisch versteht: Sie will Nächstenliebe, Solidarität und Gerechtigkeit im europäischen Gemeinwesen stärken.
