Reparative Reading. Reading [too much?] into it.

This session could be done in English or German depending on demand. Reparative reading is about seeing the good in texts. Not looking for problems, but finding potential. We’re asking ourselves whether this isn’t exactly what fanfiction does, for example when it reads queer characters out of texts or writes them into texts. That’s what we want to talk about in this session.

fancy being part of the Fanficforum?

we meet every two weeks and are open to everyone – no matter which major or semester! just pop by to discuss fanfiction(s) and how to read them scientifically.
