Episode: 3302 Imitation, Originality, and the Creativity of Fan Culture.  Today, when imitation is a good thing.

Des Swifties aux supporter.ices du PSG en passant par les inconditionnel.les de Harry Potter, des fans, on en connaît tous·te·s, parfois à commencer par soi-même. Il n'est pas rare qu'à 14 ou 15 ans on ait tapissé les murs de sa chambre, parfois celui de son blog, d'images et d'hommages à son idole. Parfois, cette obsession nous poursuit bien au-delà de l'adolescence et façonne durablement notre identité.Dans cet épisode, la journaliste Antonella Francini nous fait entendre son père qui raconte son obsession de longue date pour Romain Gary. Pour Mélanie Bourdaa, professeure en sciences de l'Information et de la communication être fan est d'abord et avant tout source de joie mais permet aussi la construction d'un safe place dans un monde hostile.Antonella Francini a tourné et écrit cet épisode. La réalisation sonore est signée Renaud Watine. Le générique est réalisé par Clémence Reliat, à partir d'un extrait d'En Sommeil de Jaune.

Hollywood and Wall Street have obvious reasons to be obsessed with I.P. (Intellectual Property) because its consistently proven moneymaking abilities. But, how does it actually enrich the storytelling experience? In 2008, Henry Jenkins was asking these questions in his book, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide. I'm joined on this episode by Rehman Nizar Ali, as we discuss:- The Matrix (a trilogy at the point of the book's publication) as the ideal model of transmedia;- how the “mothership” transmedia model has dominated;- what the abandonment of Star Wars canon means for — up to this point — the most sophisticated canon.Also:- There are still more James Bond movies than MCU movies;- the super-hero genre, fatigued or not, as one of empowerment;- what video game to film adaptation has the best potential to work;- and Fredric Wertham's resurgent reputation.Henry Jenkins is a professor at the University of Southern California; previously, he was the director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program. He is the author and/or editor of twenty books on various aspects of media and popular culture, including Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture, Hop on Pop: The Politics and Pleasures of Popular Culture, From Barbie to Mortal Kombat: Gender and Computer Games, Spreadable Media: Creating Meaning and Value in a Networked Culture, and By Any Media Necessary: The New Youth Activism.

Hello and welcome to CHAOSScast Community podcast, where we share use cases and experiences with measuring open source community health. Elevating conversations about metrics, analytics, and software from the Community Health Analytics Open Source Software, or short CHAOSS Project, to wherever you like to listen. Today, our guest is Erin Staples, who works as a Community Advocate at Orbit. She is with us to talk about social science theories and what we can learn from other communities. Erin tells us the importance of making sure your contributors feel valued, creating a very inclusive, mindful environment online, and she explains how we can learn a lot from how Fandom communities measure health. She goes in depth about behaviors at gatherings such as conferences and she shares advice in creating online spaces.

[00:02:00] Erin fills us in a little on her background and about what they do at Orbit with building a healthy community in the online space. [00:03:38] How did Erin get so interested in this topic? [00:05:33] For the social science conversation and Fandom, Erin talks about how she started to explore this huge topic. She tells us about a journal article she loves from Rachel Winter, Anastasia Salter, and Mel Stanfill who wrote about the “Communities of making: Exploring parallels between Fandom and open source.” [00:09:02] Erin explains more about the behaviors and how they happen at gatherings and in the Fandom world. [00:13:30] Georg brings up how open source is changing and has changed over the years with more organizations getting involved in creation of software and paying employees to be in these communities and Erin shares her thoughts about how this may be changing the dynamic. The Founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, comes up in conversation as well. [00:19:47] Venia tells us about a website called Budget Light Forum and Erin talks about “the medium is the message,” which is a quote from Marshall McLuhan and how this relates to the way we think about online spaces and how we transmit information. [00:24:44] Georg brings up a great point if you want to understand the community you actually have to talk to the community members and ask them how that makes them feel, if they feel welcome and included, etc., and Erin and Venia share their thoughts on this. [00:28:11] As more people are working online, maintainer burnout in open source is discussed, which existed before COVID, with pressure to maintain the quality of code and for being responsive and they're not feeling appreciated. [00:30:41] Erin talks about some action steps to creating online spaces and shares an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. [00:32:04] Find out where you can follow Erin online.

This week we’re joined by Talia Stroud, Director of the Center for Media Engagement at The University of Texas at Austin, and Eli Pariser, formerly of Upworthy and MoveOn and author of The Filter Bubble, to talk about their latest project, Civic Signals/New Public. After several rounds of conversation on “what’s wrong with social media and how can we fix it?” Talia and Eli started Civic Signals to try to fill the gap between necessary critiques of our current online spaces and creating digital environments that we want to inhabit. By looking across disciplines and off-line equivalents to our online spaces, they are working to create a community to collectively build an evolving design framework for online public spaces. Eli and Talia take us through their approach, methods, and findings so far – and how they’ve doubled down on this work in the pandemic. Finally, we go on a deep dive of the first of the four essential “building blocks” they’ve found that make digital spaces work for people across multiple lived experiences: Welcome.A full transcript of this episode will be available on the episode page soon.Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Wile.

danah boyd's SXSW EDU keynote, What Hath We Wrought?, takes a powerful look at media literacy, the widespread consumption of fake news and the cultural implications of media manipulation. Visit https://www.sxswedu.com/ to learn more about SXSW EDU and subscribe to SXSW EDU on YouTube for more great videos https://www.youtube.com/user/SXSWEDU. More on this video: What Hath We Wrought? A decade ago, we imagined a world of participatory culture where youth would be empowered to actively and strategically use technology. Through peer/self-learning and formal education, young people have developed a well-informed understanding of the world through social media. However, this participatory culture can be unhealthy, cruel, and socially devastating. In this talk, I’ll explore unintended consequences of efforts to empower youth, media manipulation and literacy, polarization, and other issues. danah boyd is the founder and president of Data & Society, a research institute focused on understanding the role of data-driven technologies in society. She is also a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and a Visiting Professor at New York University. Her research is focused on addressing social and cultural inequities by understanding the relationship between technology and society. Her most recent books - "It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens" and "Participatory Culture in a Networked Age" - examine the intersection of everyday practices and social media. She is a 2011 Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a Director of both Crisis Text Line and Social Science Research Council, and a Trustee of the National Museum of the American Indian. She received a bachelor's degree in computer science from Brown University, a master's degree from the MIT Media Lab, and a Ph.D in Information from the University of California, Berkeley.

Most of us probably aren’t making an effort to hang out in public spaces lately, much less seeing them as playful – quite the opposite! But with a hopeful eye to the future, this week we’re joined by artist Reanne Estrada, Creative Director of Public Matters, a Los Angeles-based creative studio for civic engagement, and Benjamin Stokes, Assistant Professor at American University and Director of The Playful City Lab, to discuss the potential for – and benefits of – play in our public spaces. Reanne and Benjamin share thoughts on how we can use what we’ve experienced during this pandemic to reclaim and define new priorities for our shared public spaces. They consider ways we can expand equity in terms of access to public space and to opportunities for play in everyday life. They each identify ways communities can build the collective sense of power needed to make changes. We think about the affordances of play as a tactic for driving civic engagement, and acknowledge the ways play is already baked into our communities and the ways it has the potential to drive equity, even as it is not always available equitably.Visit the episode page for the full transcript of this conversation!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Writer, Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal winner Isabel WilkersonWashington, DC:Push for statehoodBlack Lives Matter Plaza (and tensions between DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and President Trump)Push to Diversify Public MonumentsA Right to the City DC exhibition highlighting the successes of civic activismSome of the history of DC’s segregated baseball leaguesSome of Benjamin’s earlier research on online volunteeringPublic Matters projects in LA:University Park Slow Jams - traffic safety & mobility justiceMarket Makeovers - fruits & veggies parade costumes, east LA veggie zombiesThe Chicharrón Chronicles - Historic Filipinotown walking tours focusing on food, language and labor, with Gustavo ArellanoCommunity-based games for civic engagement:Commons - NYC - winner, Real-World Game for Change Challenge 2011Macon Money - Macon, GAThe Participation Game - Helsinki, FinlandPhoto: V-J Day in Times SquareModel Cities program in the US - role play for city officials - builds empathy for cause and effect systemsEric Gordon - Meaningful InefficienciesHenry was referring to the tiles featuring kids’ artwork at Davis Square MBTA stationReading up on historical town pageantsAOC's GOTV Twitch streamFor more thoughts on rituals, check out our episode with USC Dean of Religious Life Varun SoniShare your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

Jasmin and I are talking about our university, the feedback culture and room for improvement.

The infamous John Robertson, the mastermind behind the YouTube series turned popular stage show turned video game The Dark Room is our guest this episode. John has come back to his roots, working with Perth's own Stirfire Studios which brings the whole thing full circle. One of the first "games" on YouTube and based heavily on the 1980s style text adventures, John shared what it was like working with a team he'd known since he was 15 to make the Dark Room game. We also speak about participatory culture, which is a fancy way of saying fandom and audience involvement in media, and John shared his experience with the cosplay and gaming communities and how they have shaped his work. With years of experience as a cosplay contenst MC we learn how the small stories he saw play out on stage inspired his work, and how that works for his collaborative stage show.

Playing for Team Human today, technology and social media scholar, founder of Data & Society Research Institute, and author of It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens, danah boyd.On today's episode, Douglas and danah talk about stepping outside of our narrow worldviews. How does technology amplify our biases? Where does human agency lie in complex, networked systems? What is the distinction between a "network" versus a "community?" These and many more questions explored in this deep-dive into social media and the relationship of digital technology to our everyday lives.From Douglas: "This week, my journey to make sense of digital society - and to challenge my own underlying assumptions about the promise and peril of social media - I visited my friend danah boyd. We met up at The Data & Society Research Institute, which she founded in 2014 to explore the social and cultural issues arising from data-centric and automated technologies. What makes her work unique is that it’s based less on thought experiments than on observations from the real world. That’s part of why I waited until danah could make time for an in-person discussion, which we had in a little meeting space at the always busy Data & Society office in Chelsea, Manhattan."

As I say in the introduction of this podcast, Wess Daniels is one of the smartest guys that I know. I first met Wess about ten years ago or more when I was a student at Fuller Theological Seminary and pastoring at Bel Air Presbyterian Church. I started hanging out with Wess when he was teaching me some tech hacks in creating my Apple HTML email signature (I know, sounds pretty exciting). But over the years as my friendship with Wess has deepened, I've always been impressed with not only his intellect, and the topics is spans, but his sense of humility.Wess received his Ph.D from Fuller Seminary's School of Intercultural Studies. Wess is especially interested in Quaker renewal and participatory culture. At the time of this interview he was a Quaker pastor at Camas Friends church in Washington....but last week he was named the Director of Friends Center and Quaker Studies at Guilford College.Wess is also the author of A Convergent Model of Renewal: Remixing the Quaker Tradition in a Participatory Culture. Besides publishing this theological work, Wess has also contributed to the Sketchnote Workbook and written about "learning the art of sketchnote preaching."In this podcast we discuss a lot of different things such as: --leadership in the Quaker tradition (flattened leadership) --what participatory culture looks like --developing weekly rhythms of self-care --harnessing creativity in our work (i.e. sketchnotes)Please listen and subscribe to my podcast in the following places, and then leave a comment letting me know what you liked about the show, or what guest you would like to hear from.

This show brought together authors of Reading in a Participatory Culture (2012) and the complementary digital book Flows of Reading to discuss what it means to be a reader and writer in an increasingly participatory culture. Both books exemplify an expanded concept of the term "text" and model a new type of reader—one who reads across different media and understands reading as an act of sharing, deconstructing, and making meaning. We hope this helps open a conversation about what "counts" as reading and all the kinds of reading we perform in our everyday lives.

Welcome to episode #220 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. On my last trip to Europe, I had the pleasure of speaking in Oslo, Norway at The Golden Tag (Gulltaggen) conference, which featured Richard Branson, Guy Kawasaki, Gary Vaynerchuk and many more. Speaking right before me was Gunther Sonnenfeld (SVP, Director of Experience & Applied Technology at RAPP) on the topics of Transmedia, participatory culture and Digital Storytelling. Gunther's perspective on how brands can really connect and flourish struck me in a deep and meaningful way.
