[ecrea] NANO: New American Notes Online Special Issue 12: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

*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/.
