S. Janes appears in the course readings only as a passing reference through a citation on alternate reality games (ARGs) and participatory culture. Their work is invoked to ground the theoretical understanding of how ARGs function as spaces of collective problem-solving and community engagement, particularly relevant to the course's interest in how networked technologies enable (or manipulate) collaborative meaning-making. The citation suggests Janes provides foundational framing for thinking about ARGs as both promotional tools and sites of participatory culture—concepts the readings use to contextualize phenomena like QAnon's appeal to "collective detective" communities.
