Notes

• "the appearance of Henry Jenkins' influential book Textual Poachers (1992) ushered in a new era of audience research in media studies. Jenkins' text positioned fans as active consumers of media products, constructing their own cultures and subcultures from popular culture" (Meyer & Tucker, 2007: 103)
• "Jenkins expands on his original arguments from Textual Poachers in his new book Fans, Bloggers, and Gamers — Exploring Participatory Culture (Jenkins, 2006b)" (Meyer & Tucker, 2007: 104)
• I started to take some notes on this, but ultimately I don't think I will finish reading the article. I've recently realized that I struggle to read recent scholarship, and would like to put my focus on reading more recently published papers, rather than older ones. If I start updating some of my papers that I'd like to publish, perhaps I will return to this piece.
