Hey! I'm doing some research on fanfiction as a means to decolonize literature. I'm focusing on Hermione being reappropriated as a black character. Would you happen to know any academic sources on this theme? Or anyone who is knowledgeable about this? I'd appreciate it very much :)
I had to look up articles with similar topics for a paper recently, I can remember “Racebending fandoms and digital futurism“ by Elizabeth Gilliland, Racebending and Prosumer Fanart Practices in Harry Potter Fandom by J. Seymour, “Restorying the Self: Bending Toward Textual Justice” by Ebony ElizabethThomas and Amy Stornaiuolo, and “The classical canon and/as transformative work” by Ika Willis. “Editorial: Race and ethnicity in fandom” by Sarah N. Gatson and Robin Anne Reid also talk about racebending, but in a more general way. Hope this helps!
