What is Participatory Culture? Patterns of media consumption have been profoundly altered by a succession of new media technologies, which enable average citizens to participate in the archiving, annotation, appropriation, transformation and recirculation of media content. Participatory culture refers to the new style of consumerism that emerges in this environment… Media consumers want to become media producers, while media producers want to maintain their traditional dominance over media content. Source: Jenkins 2003

What is Participatory Culture? New cultural forms and products –Blogs –“User-contributed content” –Mashups –Fan films, fic –Mods New ways of interacting with traditional media products –Discussion –Collaboration –Influence over media producers

Fandom Media Effects: Fans are dupes, slavish consumers of media content. Fandom as pathology Frankfurt school Cultural studies: Fans are resistive, progressive, activist Jenkins, Fiske

Fan production Production is not only possible, but typical Source: John Fiske : The Cultural Economy of Fandom

Fandom McGuigan (1992): Must interrogate relationship between fans and consumer culture Murray (2004): Must analyze the political economy of fandom –Role of corporation –Relationships between fans / producers
