Today in the #Austen game course we discuss a novel that hasn't been gameified (& rarely adapted): MANSFIELD PARK. I'm so glad to have the brilliant @MarcosSGonsalez to read alongside, both in print & in-(virtual)-person.

The timing is... fortuitous.

lithub.com/recognizing-th… We frequently hear teachers...
We're also taking a look at Edward Said's “Jane Austen and Empire” [from Culture and Imperialism], & the waves of new readings that came thereafter.
As Said reminds us, "interpreting Jane Austen depends on WHO does the interpreting, WHEN it is done, and no less important, from WHERE it is done. "
And love for @ZarkaEmily in the room!

Also, @travisclau we are playing Dream Daddy with @MarcosSGonsalez I AM MAKING THIS HAPPEN BY GUM.

Howdy new followers! It’s Thursday, & we experience most strikingly the distinction between live performance & prerecorded #ttrpg actual play tonight. #CriticalRoleSpoilers in this thread in an hour — mute as needed. Woman in blue light glasses...
Shirt is by Coalition of Master's Scholars on Material Culture @_CMSMC_ from their original design -- tons of cool variants now: cmsmc.org/shop (not an ad, just citing to thwart dumb algo bots & because everyone needs a "Girls Just Wanna Have Funding" sweatshirt)
Note: we've restarted a few times, so we're 10 minutes away from start, and a total a 4 hour 15 run tonight, so play time of well under 4 tonight (say, 3.30-45).

Morning, folks. It’s set to be a strange day for the British Literary Historian part of my brain. But my #ttrpg actual play brain is 1st up today as we welcome @alexchalk_phd to class & discuss his recent article on production networks in actual play. Woman in dark surplice top and glasses looks steadily at cam
His piece: Chalk, Alex. “Mapping an Online Production Network: The Field of ‘Actual Play’ Media.” Convergence, (May 2022). doi.org/10.1177/135485…

#ttrpg
Dr. Chalk's work uses Latour's Actor Network Theory (ANT) to describe the shifting relationship networks, as well as the circumstances of labor, in #ttrpg actual play production, drawing on 24 anonymized interviews with AP producers.

Hey Pack of Pixies, I’m keeping up with the reading — er, viewing — this week though a bit under the weather still. I’ll be taking my usual #acourtoffeyandflowers notes right when the episode drops tonight. I reserve the right to be goofy, but what’s new.

#acofaf A woman smiles in front of ...
Shirt is ancient Threadless from the previous millennium. I think it actually might count as vintage by now.
Tonight's episode runtime: 2:09. And hey, we get a transformation of the #acourtoffeyandflowers intro, with @SurenaXMarie now officially known by her real name, Binx Choppley!

As someone trained in scholarly editing, I'm encouraging us to EXPLAIN the choice of an edition. After teaching the 18th century novel for over a decade (including w/digital 1st editions), most newcomers to early novels NEED the editorial support a modern edition provides. 🧵
A LOT of stuff is in the public domain -- including entire textbooks written to be Open Access, and some scholarly/teaching editions made freely available! By all means, use them if you've got them. Hell, part of my job (the @18thConnect part) is to help make more discoverable.
But for an 18th centuryist like me, using sites that make public domain editions of works available (bless them) means either the 1st edition of a novel (Hathi) or 19th century editions (Gutenberg). Neither will have explanatory notes or contextual info.

But that's just Prob 1.

It's Thursday! Welcome to the #CR7Years #CriticalRoleSpoilers -- now with... garlands? And whatever Sam is wearing.

(sequins. it's sequins)
The set is dressed with flowers, cloth, and at the moment, a bunch of fake cash. #CriticalRoleSpoilers
The finger-er-ing-er.

(lest you wonder why CR was discussed in a book called Representing Kink, I give you... this)
