*Just Published: /NANO: New American Notes Online/ Special Issue 12: /Star Wars: The Force Awakens/*

How does /Star Wars: The Force Awakens/ continue the saga’s cultural influence by going beyond film into transmedia? The new issue of /NANO: New American Notes Online/, an open access City Tech humanities journal, explores this and related questions by considering fanfiction’s appropriations, fandom’s embrace of iconic aspects of the film’s characters, the film’s role as a machine for disseminating an ideology of capital, and reinterpretations of Joseph Campbell’s hero myth. Also, an interview with Cass R. Sunstein, author of /The World According to Star Wars/, strengthens this issue’s examination of /The Force Awakens/.
