Thesis (Ph.D.)--Arizona State University, 2015.

In 2005, a Mormon stay-at-home-mom named Stephenie Meyer published the first in a series of vampire romance novels known as the Twilight saga (2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008). This study investigates the ways in which LDS fans (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) of the Twilight saga use literacy practices to recognize, reproduce, reinterpret, and/or resist meanings created by multiple Discourses in and around the text. This study takes place in the Mormon Blogosphere, otherwise known as the Bloggernacle. Its purpose is to explore how fans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga make meanings from the text, particularly in relation to Mormon Big "D" Discourse (Gee, 1999/2010; 2011) and how fans recognize, reflect, reinterpret, and resist meanings surrounding multiple Discourses in and around the text. In addition, it seeks to understand how the Bloggernacle fans use language to perform various identities and position others in relation to gender and Mormonism within the digital space. This dissertation study analyzes the threads of five blogs and three discussion forums using the combined methods of critical ethnography (Carspecken, 1996) and Gee's discourse analysis. It concludes, that, while multiple Discourses are present within the conversational threads, mainstream Mormon Discourse remains dominant and normalized within the space, which both informs and limits the interpretations available to Mormon fans. In addition, identity performance is negotiated in the blogs, and members form specific sub-communities within the Bloggernacle so as to create a space for those with distinct ways of believing, valuing, knowing, and identifying.
