An interesting conversation between boyd, Ito and Jenkins.
This book was incredibly boring. I only skimmed through each chapter, using quotes about the topic of participatory culture when necessary for class assignments.
Es un libro interesante, pero sólo me sirvió el capítulo que habla sobre democracia, civismo y activismo. Es una referencia a las multitudes inteligentes de Rheingold (mi libro de cabecera) pero con una reflexión de una década posterior.
Chapter 1 – Defining Participatory CultureIntroduction by Henry Jenkinsp.1 – Does participation become exploitation when it takes place on commercial platforms where others are making money off our participation and where we often do not even own the culture we are producing? p.3 – By 2005, I saw us entering an era when the public, at least in the developed world, would have access to much greater communicative capacity than ever before, where a growing number of institutions were embracing more...
theory you can actually understand and it's *literally* written conversationally v nicea lot of what was covered wasn't entirely revelatory to me because I experienced / am experiencing it first-person (finding empowerment in digital fandoms when you're estranged from certain communities, working around 'red tape', online activism)putting them into concepts like 'connected learning' and 'participatory culture' ... this was new and interesting and makes me think differently about opportunities to...
It's a briskly paced and compulsively readable discussion between the three authors, edited into an edifying and wide-ranging reflection on ways of approaching, understanding, and responding to participatory culture. I found the sections on commercial culture and activism the most rewarding, and while the format yields less actual debate than I had hoped for (Ito, boyd, and Jenkins mostly seem to agree with each other), the dialogic form makes a comfortable fit for the topics under discussion.
Leer a Henry Jenkins siempre es un placer. Para pensar y repensar.
This book is presented in a discussion format. Three scholars from different generations talk about various facets of participatory culture. There are some interesting ideas presented. In particular, I like that the authors put an emphasis on the connections between people as a key factor in participatory culture rather than on technology. In fact, they stress that participatory culture existed in fan culture before the advent of the Internet.
Conversational and accessible, almost as if the reader were on a couch overhearing a trialogue between close friends who care deeply about both the Internet and about society, especially for those left behind by cultural or economic progression. Much food for thought here, particularly for those readers who have been steeped in the Internet growing up and for whom the structural biases inherent in the technology are almost invisible.Or, to put it another way:Imagine if the Internet felt like a f...
While the individuals authors make some wonderful ideas known, they are doing lip service to one another more than pushing their respective ideas forward. You would do better to just take the extra time to read the stand alone texts rather than this over simplification of their ideas.
Books for me are often conversations as a means of informing. They are a bit one-sided, but for me they work in this manner. But, for me they can also trigger things I've heard before, or conversations I have been a part of, or remind me of things I have known and do know presented in a purer state (not interwoven with other truths or realities or placed tightly beside them). Participatory Culture took me straight back to conversations and deep dives to the mid-2000s. Resurfacing those mindsets,...
