Since 2006, Henry Jenkins's _Confessions of an Aca-Fan_ blog has
hosted interviews in which academics, activists, and artists have
shared their views on the changing media landscape. For the first
time, Jenkins - often called “the Marshall McLuhan for the
twenty-first century” - compiles some of these interviews to
highlight his recurring interests in popular culture and social
change.
Structured around three core concepts - culture, learning, politics -
and designed as a companion to _Participatory Culture in a Networked
Era_, this book broadens the conversation to incorporate diverse
thinkers such as David Gauntlett, Ethan Zuckerman, Sonia Livingstone,
S. Craig Watkins, James Paul Gee, Antero Garcia, Stephen Duncombe,
Cathy J. Cohen, Lina Srivastava, Jonathan McIntosh, and William
Uricchio. With an introduction from Jenkins and reflections from each
interviewee, this volume speaks to a sense of crisis as contemporary
culture has failed to fully achieve the democratic potentials once
anticipated as a consequence of the participatory turn.
This book is ideal for students and scholars of digital media, popular
culture, education, and politics, as well as general readers with an
interest in the topic.
