Your subject line is brilliant.

Great article at the link, too. Very helpful to my thinking.

The recursiveness of that title choice in relation to the subject matter is astounding. Well done. :)

This comment is an excuse to use this icon, so it's all okay.

Though that post leaves much to chew on!

And a beautiful excuse for that subject line it is, too!

I'm in great agreement with the "high context" label. Not just in how fandom structures itself, but in how fandom relates to its sources: our reading of canon creates our concept of the source, which puts that source into a particular context that builds upon itself as the source progresses. It may not be the context TPTB intended or desired, but it's a context that creates a centre around which fandom can create itself. [/random thought]

I think that's true - which is why it's so impenetrable. Knowing the source alone won't be enough to understand the fannish discussions.
