description: More complex interconnection schemes of TFPV modules can improve the total efficiency of the module. Also the presence of defects in a thin film photovoltaic (TF PV) module influences the module's behavior. A model is presented to calculate the influence of the interconnection scheme and local defects on the module performance. The proposed modeling tool automatically generates the module netlist through a MATLAB algorithm and runs SPICE simulations, which give I-V and power curves of the module. A methodology is proposed in order to better understand how specific defects of solar cells and how module topologies act on the entire module. Defects are modeled as a variation from the reference solar cells parameters, which typically involves a shunt and/or series resistance variation for cell and/or interconnection structure. The aim of this work is to better understand how to predict and to limit the effects of local defects in a TF PV module.

description: The paper introduces an interactive machine learning mechanism to process the measurements of an uncertain, nonlinear dynamic process and hence advise an actuation strategy in real-time. For concept demonstration, a trajectory-following optimization problem of a Kinova robotic arm is solved using an integral reinforcement learning approach with guaranteed stability for slowly varying dynamics. The solution is implemented using a model-free value iteration process to solve the integral temporal difference equations of the problem. The performance of the proposed technique is benchmarked against that of another model-free high-order approach and is validated for dynamic payload and disturbances. Unlike its benchmark, the proposed adaptive strategy is capable of handling extreme process variations. This is experimentally demonstrated by introducing static and time-varying payloads close to the rated maximum payload capacity of the manipulator arm. The comparison algorithm exhibited up to a seven-fold percent overshoot compared to the proposed integral reinforcement learning solution. The robustness of the algorithm is further validated by disturbing the real-time adapted strategy gains with a white noise of a standard deviation as high as 5%.

description: We present a hyperconcentration scheme for nonlocal $N$-photon hyperentangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. The maximally hyperentangled state, in which $N$ particles are entangled simultaneously in the polarization and the spatial mode, can be obtained with a certain probability from two partially hyperentangled states. The hyperconcentration scheme is based on one polarization parity check measurement, one spatial mode parity check measurement and N-2 single-photon two-qubit measurements. The concentration only requires linear optical elements, which makes it feasible and practical with current technology.

Silicon-based Thin Film and Silicon-Heterojunction Solar Cells and Modules

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1165-1167
description: In silicon thin-film solar cells the p-doped layer is a crucial layer for parasitic absorption and the electrical behavior of the whole cell stack. To obtain high cell performances, it is important to optimize the electrical and optical properties of this layer. In this work we present recent investigations of an argon plasma treatment (APT) at the i/p-interface in high efficient thin-film solar cells on flexible aluminium substrates in n-i-p configuration with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) absorber. Our experimental investigations show the application of APT on i-layer surfaces which improves the electrical properties of i/p-interface and of the subsequently deposited p-layers. The APT results in both a slightly higher short current density and fill factor while the open-circuit voltage remains constant. Using the APT we developed amorphous silicon solar cells on flexible aluminium substrates with light conversion efficiency up to 7.5%. Based on these results micromorph tandem solar cells are developed on flexible substrates with initial conversion efficiencies up to 11%.

description: We start from the Bethe-Goldstone equation (BGE) to derive a simple orbital-dependent correlation functional -- BGE2 -- which terminates the BGE expansion at the second-order, but retains the self-consistent coupling of electron-pair orrelations. We demonstrate that BGE2 is size consistent and one-electron "self-correlation" free. The electron-pair correlation coupling ensures the correct H$_2$ dissociation limit and gives a finite correlation energy for any system even if it has a no energy gap. BGE2 provides a good description of both H$_2$ and H$_2^+$ dissociation, which is regarded as a great challenge in density functional theory (DFT). We illustrate the behavior of BGE2 analytically by considering H$_2$ in a minimal basis. Our analysis shows that BGE2 captures essential features of the adiabatic connection path that current state-of-the-art DFT approximations do not.

New Mythology, and Nostalgia in Final Fantasy VII
Creators: name: Stevenson, David
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter

description: Typically, critical writing on the topic has emphasised the hero / protagonist figure as the primary vector of player agency. However, the hero(es) of Final Fantasy VII (Finaru Fantashii VII, 1998) exhibit psychological depth in which party characters confront their self-delusion. This is particularly apt with Cloud who experiences an introspective reckoning while comatose that prefigures the game’s denouement. Beyond the narrative function of self-discovery, this essay argues that this process exists to reconcile the player with the JRPG ‘world’, a pan-mythological territory often reliant on signs, symbols and archetypes as exposition of an intricate and alien place. Through close reading of FFVII’s aesthetic and gameplay design, I aim to demonstrate that the protagonist is the nexus of player discovery, psychological characterisation and ‘lore’, and the significance of this model in the reframing and reinvention of the past common to the JRPG genre.

description: Polycrystalline CdTe solar cell performance under high- and low- intensity light irradiance was studied. The effects of light intensity, resistances of the cell components, and shunting paths on the photovoltaic performance were investigated. The experimental results demonstrated that the electrical resistance of the FTO electrode is the limiting factor for the CdTe cell efficiency working under concentrated light irradiance. At light intensity as low as 0.015 Sun, both the fill factor and the open-circuit voltage were found to be critically affected by the shunt resistance. The current shunting depends critically on the physical location of the shunting paths in the CdTe absorber layer.

description: We present the results of a search for amplitude modulation of pulsation mode frequencies in 983 $δ$ Sct stars, which have effective temperatures between 6400 $\leq T_{\rm eff} \leq$ 10 000 K in the Kepler Input Catalogue and were continuously observed by the Kepler Space Telescope for 4 yr. We demonstrate the diversity in pulsational behaviour observed, in particular nonlinearity, which is predicted for $δ$ Sct stars. We analyse and discuss examples of $δ$ Sct stars with constant amplitudes and phases; those that exhibit amplitude modulation caused by beating of close-frequency pulsation modes; those that exhibit pure amplitude modulation (with no associated phase variation); those that exhibit phase modulation caused by binarity; and those that exhibit amplitude modulation caused by nonlinearity. Using models and examples of individual stars, we demonstrate that observations of the changes in amplitude and phase of pulsation modes can be used to distinguish among the different scenarios. We find that 603 $δ$ Sct stars (61.3 per cent) exhibit at least one pulsation mode that varies significantly in amplitude over 4 yr. Conversely, many $δ$ Sct stars have constant pulsation amplitudes so short-length observations can be used to determine precise frequencies, amplitudes and phases for the most coherent and periodic $δ$ Sct stars. It is shown that amplitude modulation is not restricted to a small region on the HR diagram, therefore not necessarily dependent on stellar parameters such as $T_{\rm eff}$ or $\log\,g$. Our catalogue of 983 $δ$ Sct stars will be useful for comparisons to similar stars observed by K2 and TESS, because the length of the 4-yr Kepler data set will not be surpassed for some time.

description: In this paper we observe the behavior of amorphous/microcrystalline (a-Si/μc-Si) tandem silicon-based
solar cells before and after light-induced degradation. We show a method of extracting the parameters of the “threediode
model” during light-induced degradation. The “three-diode model” describes the tandem layout of the
amorphous (a-Si) and the microcrystalline (μc-Si) silicon-based thin film solar cells: a-Si is described by the onediode
model, the μc-Si by the two-diode model. Both solar cells are connected in series. By this series connection, the
three-diode model can be used to describe the cell. In our presented work we show the changing of the parameters of
each diode model during the light-induced degradation at different degradation temperatures (30°C, 50°C and 70°C).

description: The spine has essential roles in supporting body weight, and safely passaging the neural elements between the body and the brain. In this study, we used integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing analyses to reveal the cellular heterogeneity, linage, and transcriptional regulatory network of the developing human spine. We found that EPYC+HAPLN1+ fibroblasts with stem cell characteristics could differentiate into chondrocytes by highly expressing the chondrogenic markers ACAN and COL2A1. Neurons could originate from neuroendocrine cells, and MEIS2 may be an essential transcription factor that promotes spinal neural progenitor cells to selectively differentiate into neurons during early gestation. Furthermore, the interaction of NRP2_SEMA3C and CD74_APP between macrophages and neurons may be essential for spinal cord development. Our integrated map provides a blueprint for understanding human spine development in the early- and midgestational stages at single-cell resolution and offers a tool for investigating related diseases.

description: In the last few years, a new type of hero has emerged in computer games: the father, who has sole responsibility for a child. In this article, three action-adventure computer games are analyzed to explore how fatherhood extends the notion of masculinity and the concept of heroism. Interestingly, these computer games seem to soften and extend existing notion of masculinity. In addition, the games do not appear to create the kind of backlash as other attempts to create inclusive and representative characters in relation to different genders and sexualities.

Efficient hyperconcentration of nonlocal multipartite entanglement via the cross-Kerr nonlinearity
Creators: name: Li, Xihan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose two schemes for concentration of hyperentanglement of nonlocal multipartite states which are simultaneously entangled in the polarization and spatial modes. One scheme uses an auxiliary singlephoton state prepared according to the parameters of the less-entangled states. The other scheme uses two less-entangled states with unknown parameters to distill the maximal hyperentanglement. The procrustean concentration is realized by two parity check measurements in both the two degrees of freedom. Nondestructive quantum nondemolition detectors based on cross-Kerr nonlinearity are used to implement the parity check, which makes the unsuccessful instances reusable in the next concentration round. The success probabilities in both schemes can be made to approach unity by iteration. Moreover, in both schemes only one of the N parties has to perform the parity check measurements. Our schemes are efficient and useful for quantum information processing involving hyperentanglement.

description: Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbon alloys (μc-Si1−xCx:H) could be promising candidates in
order to expand the toolbox of useful materials for thin-film photovoltaic devices. μc-Si1−xCx:H samples were
deposited by standard Radio Frequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition from a silane and methane
gas mixture, highly diluted in hydrogen. In the search for the optimal deposition conditions for the development of
this new class of materials, a study of the defect-sensitive electrical properties using photocurrent method was
performed. Fourier Transform Photocurrent Spectroscopy (FTPS) was performed to investigate the impact of the
different deposition conditions on the resulting material properties. Experimental results obtained through FTPS are
used to model the density of states of μc-Si1−xCx:H samples.

description: We report quasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions and quantum magnetoresistance in LaAgBi$_2$. The band structure shows several narrow bands with nearly linear energy dispersion and Dirac-cone-like points at the Fermi level. The quantum oscillation experiments revealed one quasi-two-dimensional Fermi pocket and another complex pocket with small cyclotron resonant mass. The in-plane transverse magnetoresistance exhibits a crossover at a critical field $B^*$ from semiclassical weak-field $B^2$ dependence to the high-field unsaturated linear magnetoresistance which is attributed to the quantum limit of the Dirac fermions. Our results suggest the existence of quasi 2D Dirac fermions in rare-earth based layered compounds with two-dimensional double-sized Bi square nets, similar to (Ca,Sr)MnBi$_{2}$, irrespective of magnetic order.

Precarious Lines. Heroism and hyper-capability 90s Nightwing comics
Creators: name: Fabricius, Charlotte Johanne
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2020

description: This article discusses the run of the comics series Nightwing (Dixon/McDaniel 1996-2009) with particular focus on how hegemonic masculinity and bodily capability are linked and tied to a normative concept of heroism. Through the visual style of the comics and the use of antagonists, the comics rehabilitate the excess and precarity of the hero, Nightwing, by contrasting him to more extreme forms of masculinity. Although the comics show Nightwing’s privilege and ability to be precarious and a source of anxiety and heightened visual tension, the subversive potentials remain unrealized. By relegating excessive, disabled, and working-class forms of masculinity to queered and villainized characters, the comics uphold a nuanced but ultimately normative heroic ideal.

description: We present a set of relations between one-loop integral coefficients for dimensionally regulated QCD amplitudes. Within dimensional regularization, the combined use of color-kinematics duality and integrand reduction yields the existence of relations between the integrand residues of partial amplitudes with different orderings of the external particles. These relations can be established for the cut-constructible contributions as well for the ones responsible for rational terms. Starting from the general parametrization of one-loop residues and applying Laurent expansion in order to extract the coefficients of the amplitude decomposition in terms of master integrals, we show that the full set of relations can be obtained by considering BCJ identities between d-dimensional tree-levels. We provide explicit examples for multi-gluon scattering amplitudes at one-loop.

description: This document gives a wide array of target values on nature-based solutions (NBS). In the review, global institutions and their target thresholds for environmental pressures are discussed, as well as individual target values set by European frontrunner cities. It also pays tribute to the proposal by the European Commission for a regulation on nature restoration, for the first time setting concrete targets for increasing urban ecosystem areas. The adopted text by the European Parliament to require Member States to define satisfactory increasing trends at national level for urban green space and canopy cover instead of quantitative targets first proposed in the nature restoration proposal makes this report even more relevant. This deliverable delineates the gaps and needs to define environmental target values as standards throughout European cities. Therefore, the REGREEN project elaborates a typology of target values and illustrates synergies and dependencies between them. Furthermore, the barriers through silo thinking in governance are reflected. They may hinder achievement of NBS targets in cities. Major conclusions are drawn reflecting cross-sectoral insights from scientists, stakeholders and planners. Multiple benefits and trade-offs are discussed to deepen the knowledge of dependencies and synergies between types of targets. Policies demand recommendations and rely on findings like multifunctional benefits from NBS to underpin argumentation. Further interaction and transdisciplinary work must be undertaken to break down barriers and promote implementation of urban NBS. To do so, this document on recommendation of potential target values in cities may aid fostering this interaction.

description: This work describes novel procedures to grow Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films using solution and
vacuum based deposition techniques. The solution based deposition approach involves sequential deposition of
Cu2SnS3 (CTS) and ZnS films, where the CTS compound is synthesized in one step process by simultaneous
precipitation of Cu2S and SnS2in a thiosulphate solution, using diffusion membranes to control the supply of salts
containing Cu+ and Sn4+cations, in order to promote growth in heterogeneous phase; the vacuum based approach
includes simultaneous evaporation of metallic precursors from just one crucible in presence of sulfur supplied from
an effusion cell.
XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) depth profile analysis revealed that the CZTS films prepared by coevaporation
using a coaxial source of evaporation built with an advanced design, present high homogeneity in
chemical composition throughout the volume. x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) at the sulfur K-edge
measurements indicate that the growth method does not significantly affect the band structure and that the absorbing
atom in both types of CZTS samples exhibits the same oxidation state.The influence of the preparation method on
the work function of CZTS films were also studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS).

description: Using the analytic modeling of the electromagnetic cascades compared with more precise numerical simulations we describe the physical properties of electromagnetic cascades developing in the universe on CMB and EBL background radiations. A cascade is initiated by very high energy photon or electron and the remnant photons at large distance have two-component energy spectrum, $\propto E^{-2}$ ($\propto E^{-1.9}$ in numerical simulations) produced at cascade multiplication stage, and $\propto E^{-3/2}$ from Inverse Compton electron cooling at low energies. The most noticeable property of the cascade spectrum in analytic modeling is 'strong universality', which includes the standard energy spectrum and the energy density of the cascade $ω_{\rm cas}$ as its only numerical parameter. Using numerical simulations of the cascade spectrum and comparing it with recent Fermi LAT spectrum we obtained the upper limit on $ω_{\rm cas}$ stronger than in previous works. The new feature of the analysis is "$E_{\max}$ rule". We investigate the dependence of $ω_{\rm cas}$ on the distribution of sources, distinguishing two cases of universality: the strong and weak ones.

two different solution based methods.
The lattice strain e and crystallite size D, of CZTS films prepared by co-evaporation and by solution

measurements using Williamson–Hall-isotropic strain model. The results of estimated average crystallite
size of CZTS films by Scherrer and Williamson–Hall plot methods were compared with AFM results. It
was found that the average crystallite size measured by Williamson–Hall plot methods is in good
agreement with AFM results. Further, information regarding the influence of preparation method on the
formation of structural defects was achieved through Urbach energy measurements.

description: Sequential deposition (spin coating and dipping) of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films was applied on commercial fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) covered with mesoporous TiO2, with different thickness, under open-air conditions and high relative humidity (above 60%). In these extreme conditions, all working parameters, such as spinning rate, dipping time, heating and rinsing procedure are critical. Substrate coverage and surface morphology were investigated by scanning electron microscopy imaging and cross sections were milled by focused ion beam in order to evaluate the thickness of the perovskite films. Solar cells were completed in a configuration without hole transport material by evaporating gold as back contact directly onto the perovskite surface and their photovoltaic performance was evaluated. Results show that, by using a low-boiling-point solvent like pentane in the rinsing step, it is possible to deposit uniform and stable perovskite films even under high humidity.

To this aim, the detection system was thoroughly characterized in the laboratory. It consists of plastic-scintillator strips with optical fibers that conduct light towards silicon photomultipliers whose output is then processed with two complementary read-out channels. These measurements allowed us to design a fast and reliable simulation chain that fully reproduces the signal of single muons impinging on the scintillators.

description: Enhancement of optical response with high-index dielectric nanoparticles is attributed to the excitation of their Mie-type magnetic and electric resonances. Here we study Raman scattering from crystalline silicon nanoparticles and reveal that magnetic dipole modes have much stronger effect on the scattering than electric modes of the same order. We demonstrate experimentally a 140-fold enhancement of Raman signal from individual silicon spherical nanoparticles at the magnetic dipole resonance. Our results confirm the importance of the optically-induced magnetic response of subwavelength dielectric nanoparticles for enhancing light-matter interactions.

description: Polycrystalline tin sulfide thin films have been prepared on glass substrates by co-evaporation at a substrate temperature (Tsus) of 300 °C and at a tin source temperature of 1200 °C. This procedure has allowed to achieve tin sulfide layers with thickness in the 750-2000 nm range. After the evaporation, the samples were heated at 500 °C under the Ar and sulfur atmospheres at different times between 30 min and 4.5 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show a mixture of phases (SnS, Sn2S3 and SnS2) in the as-grown samples. New peaks corresponding to SnO2 appear after the annealing in Ar of the thickest films, while the annealing in sulfur increased the SnS2 proportion. The compositions from Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) also agree with this. The energy band gap was calculated from the optical transmittance and reflectance measurements in the range 300-1500 nm. No significant optical change was detected after the sulfur treatment. Otherwise, after the Ar annealing the energy band gap increased to 1.68 eV and the electrical resistivity decreased from 103 to 2*102 cm.
Self-Sacrifice and the Transformation of the Hero

description: The literary notion of a hero is often steeped in great deeds, such as vanquishing the monster, completing Herculean tasks, or protecting the innocent from harm. The medium of the comic book also provides numerous tales of self-sacrifice that add weight to the legitimacy of a hero and their contribution to a particular society or cause. This article will consider certain themes within the self-sacrificing hero narrative in order to gain further insight into this phenomenon and will draw inspiration from Greek and Norse mythology as well as the Superhero genre within comics and film. Finally, this article will consider the cyclical nature of the hero’s journey and the importance of continual heroic rebirth in sustaining their legacy for new generations of comic book readers and film audiences. What does their sacrifice mean when the hero and even their universe is reborn at a later date?

Central South Slavic Linguistic Taxonomies and the Language/Dialect Dichotomy: Rhetorical Strategies and Faulty Epistemologies

description: Abstract
 This article analyzes the epistemology of the language/dialect (L/D) dichotomy. The L/D dichotomy gives rise to disputes between “splitters”, who want to split the speech of a given region into more than one “language”, and “lumpers”, who view the region as speaking one “language” albeit with diverse “dialects”. While numerous linguists have declared the L/D dichotomy theoretically meaningless, thus taking an “agnostic” approach, linguists interested in a particular case study often take sides in lumper/splitter disputes. Such linguists, who the authors call “assertionists”, adopt a variety of rhetorical strategies to make their case. Taking as a case study assertionists writing about Central South Slavic, this article identifies three main strategies: the “avalanche of trivia”; the “appeal to imaginary evidence”; and the “denigration of the political”. Both lumpers and splitters adopt all three strategies to conceal the poor epistemological foundations of assertionism.

description: We investigate laser cooling of an ensemble of atoms in an optical cavity. We demonstrate that when atomic dipoles are sychronized in the regime of steady-state superradiance, the motion of the atoms may be subject to a giant frictional force leading to potentially very low temperatures. The ultimate temperature limits are determined by a modified atomic linewidth, which can be orders of magnitude smaller than the cavity linewidth. The cooling rate is enhanced by the superradiant emission into the cavity mode allowing reasonable cooling rates even for dipolar transitions with ultranarrow linewidth.

description: In this work, we developed the thinner and durable glass-substrate based organic
photovoltaics (OPV) for indoor application. OPV has great PV performance under the low to
high illumination of various light sources compared to other types of solar cells.
And this solid-state OPV module has excellent thermal durability and tolerance against the
light-soak. OPV’s lifetime is estimated >10years. This OPV is beginning to be applied to the
self-charging batteries for mobile devices and sensor networks.

description: Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells suffer from the well-known Straebler-Wronski
effect. For this reason the analysis of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells performance requires the
dynamic consideration of various degradation and annealing effects, namely: (i) light-induced degradation, (ii) lightinduced
annealing, and (iii) thermal annealing. In the past multiple models have been developed to describe each of
these aspects of degradation. We developed a new dynamic model based on the models by D. Caputo et al. and M.
Stutzmann et al. that includes all three aspects. In order to verify this model we performed an extensive set of
experiments where cells of various thicknesses were exposed to various light intensities and temperatures. Half way
through the experiment the conditions for various cells were changed in order to observe the dynamic response of the
cells. Throughout the experiment we measured light and dark IV curves as well as the external quantum efficiency at
regular time intervals and compared these to the simulation model. We obtain a good agreement between experiment
and simulation.
Superheroes or Group of Heroes?

description: Heroes have often been thought of as singular individuals standing apart from the rest of the world, and the current superheroes are no exception. Even though their comic book counterparts exist in complex social networks of supporting characters and related colorful heroes, cinematic adaptations often “kowtow” to single-hero worship (Burke 2008, 101), isolating the hero from a larger narrative world and networks of characters. This changed with the success The Avengers in. This film and series which it was a part of – The Marvel Cinematic Universe - quickly became a trendsetter within the larger media landscape. In this article, I present a close formal analysis of The Avengers and contextualize it within the larger narrative of the cinematic universe. I argue that the film belongs to the genre of multiple protagonist cinema, yet in a form that straddles the line between the two usual variations of that form of cinema. Multiple protagonist cinema is usually either a form often reserved for non-mainstream, experimental narratives in one extreme or it is just a slight variation on pre-existing mainstream Hollywood formulas in the other extreme. The Avengers finds middle ground between these extremes, and manages to do so with special consideration to the superhero genre.

description: In recent years, Perovskite solar cells have been experiencing a fast increase in their efficiency. Therefore, regardless of their stability problems, Perovskite devices are poised to reach the commercial stage in a near future. Thus, the inclusion of mature processing techniques could become essential in order to reduce manufacturing costs, from the standpoint of large-scale production. The present paper summarizes the methodology followed and first results obtained by using screen printing techniques in a clean room environment, for providing the deposition of metallic contacts, for manufacturing perovskite solar cells. Different pastes and inks were analyzed throughout the research, looking for the best possible performance behaviors, by taking into consideration substrate-friendly and low temperature depositions processes. Thus, silver pastes and inks commonly used for contact metallization in other technologies were tested. Drying processes were performed at low temperatures, in short-time periods, in order to avoid damaging the molecular nature of the deposited layers. Finally, the quality of the resulting contacts was evaluated to establish the electrical properties.

Fans feeling a disturbance in the Force. Star Wars and the power of paratexts

description: Ever since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, the Star Wars franchise has been widely praised for its updated take on and inclusion of diversity (extending in particular to women), having moved away from its image as purely a boys’ club to include everyone. While this may seem true at first glance if we regard the blockbuster films of the Star Wars franchise, such a sentiment proves to be more problematic when we consider the merchandise accompanying the films. This article starts by reading the gender diversity of the Star Wars franchise as “plastic representation” (Warner 2017), branching out to include Star Wars merchandise as paratexts (Genette 1997, Gray 2010, Scott, 2017). Reading Star Wars toys, action figures and play sets as culturally significant objects and markers of fan identity (Geraghtly 2014), I argue that these paratexts serve to bolster gendered franchising and to work as “fanagagement” (Hills 2010) to promote certain types of fan engagement in Star Wars, while at the same time policing others.
