Transformative Works and Culture

Présentation

Selon ce qu'on peut lire sur leur site principal, l'Organisation pour la transformatrices Works (OTW) est une organisation à but non lucratif créée par des fans pour servir les intérêts des fans. Ils ont pour objectif de préserver les intérêts des fans fournissant l'accès à la culture des fans et à toutes les formes de leurs créations tout en étant un témoin de leur histoire. Ils estiment en effet que travaux des fans sont transformatifs et que les créations transformatives sont légitimes.

L'OTW est le représentant d'une pratique de création de fans transformative historiquement ancrée dans une culture essentiellement féminine. L'OTW permettra de préserver l'enregistrement de cette histoire tout en encourageant de nouvelles expressions et non conventionnelles de l'identité culturelle au sein du fandom.

Leur "journal" contient des textes qui sont des analyses de fan et des interwiew. Vous trouverez-ci dessous la liste de leurs articles et un bref résumé du contenu. Tous les textes sont accessible au public.
