陳璽安：一篇關於Ray Brassier技術論的同人論文
時間：2017年8月27日 7pm
地點：北京市東城區郎家胡同4號
一篇與內容無關的宣言
同人論文，就像是同人小說，它是基於某一事物的喜好及認同，而在其正本所構成的小世界中，進行自願性質的延伸創作。它是一種粉絲勞動力。其中，原作中的風格，或者角色的性格會被保留。而那些最成功的元素，譬如角色、情節——這些元素會被那些同人作者們繼續以這個同人群體所熟知的方式被發展。也就是說，這些同人小說中的發展雖然沒有在原作中出現，但它仍是原作的延伸，加強的是原作的光環。而這些情節通常是去滿足一個粉絲群體的窺視以及消費的欲望，並且鞏固一群圍繞原作而發展出來的粉絲共同體。
當然，同人論文的這種同人的主體性，和一般文化研究強調的主體性截然不同。傳統而言，文化研究的論述強調對於一個題目有距離的掌握。他們強調批評的自我反身性。也就是說，一個主體必須同時在題目的內與外，才能掌握到批評對象的整體。
與此相反，同人論文對原作的貢獻是透過過度認同的方式。同人並不試圖超越原作。但在有些極端的例子中，它有可能比原作更廣為流傳。以下這篇論文，會是一篇同人理論寫作的初步嘗試。
警告：本次活動講座配有動態影像，但並非表演講座，並且，將會十分枯燥。Don't like, don't read。

Zian CHEN: Tackling Ray Brassier’s Prometheanism in Fan Thesis Approach
Time: August 27th, 2017 7pm
Address: No.4 Langjia Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing
A STATEMENT FOR THE FAN THESIS (IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONTENT)
Fan thesis, just as fan fiction, is based on the identification or extreme favor of certain propositional or fictional universe, through which a fan would develop extensive sequels. There’s a sense of voluntarism and is often referred to as fan labor. In these practices, quite often is the case that the style of the canon is kept, while the core elements such as characters and plots would be further developed in the ways that is well versed by the peer fans.
That is to say, although the content of fan fiction didn’t really ever appeared in the canon, but it remains to be the synthetic or prosthetic totality to, and therefore consolidates the aura of, the canon. These plots usually aimed for satisfying the peer group’s consumptive fantasy or even voyeurism, therefore a community. The following essay is a primary attempt on writing a fan thesis, whose fictional universe addresses Ray Brassier’s On Prometheanism, and its plot: JG Ballard.
Spoiler alert: The talk would be held in Mandarin Chinese only.
