Reviews
"The time is ripe for an intelligent, informed, well-organized book on the world of independent cinema and Emanuel Levy has given us just that." - Leonard Maltin, "Jenkins persuasively argues in favor of taking the fan's perspective in analyzing television-- and this is the cornerstone of the new turn in Cultural Studies." -Claremont Review of Books, "Jenkins is one of us: a geek, a fan, a popcult packrat. He's also an incisive and unflinching critic. His affection for the subject and sharp eye for 'what it all means' are an unbeatable combination. This is fascinating, engrossing and enlightening reading." -Cory Doctorow,author of Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town and co-editor of Boing Boing, "Jenkins is one of us: a geek, a fan, a popcult packrat. He's also an incisive and unflinching critic. His affection for the subject and sharp eye for 'what it all means' are an unbeatable combination. This is fascinating, engrossing and enlightening reading." - Cory Doctorow, author ofSomeone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Townand co-editor ofBoing Boing, "Jenkins is one of us: a geek, a fan, a popcult packrat. He's also an incisive and unflinching critic. His affection for the subject and sharp eye for 'what it all means' are an unbeatable combination. This is fascinating, engrossing and enlightening reading." - Cory Doctorow, author of Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town and co-editor of Boing Boing, "Jenkins persuasively argues in favor of taking the fan's perspective in analyzing television-- and this is the cornerstone of the new turn in Cultural Studies." - Claremont Review of Books ,, The coal dust soon gets in your lungs in this gritty tale of the war-torn lives of the community of Pontypridd where the Home front has its full ration of heartache and despair, thankfully lightened by that famous wartime spirit. 4 stars, "At a time when independent American films are more visible and important than ever before, this is an invaluable study. Emanuel Levy's writing is wise, passionate, and amazingly well-informed." - Roger Ebert, Jenkins persuasively argues in favor of taking the fan's perspective in analyzing television-- and this is the cornerstone of the new turn in Cultural Studies., "Levy gives us a comprehensive examination of the American independent film movement, with a level-headed, in-depth assessment of the movies it has produced. This is an indispensable text for anyone who wants to understand the independent world." - David Ansen, Newsweek, Jenkins is one of us: a geek, a fan, a popcult packrat. He's also an incisive and unflinching critic. His affection for the subject and sharp eye for 'what it all means' are an unbeatable combination. This is fascinating, engrossing and enlightening reading., "Jenkins persuasively argues in favor of taking the fan'e(tm)s perspective in analyzing television-- and this is the cornerstone of the new turn in Cultural Studies." - Claremont Review of Books, "The most detailed and up-to-date book on independent cinema, an invaluable reference work." - Molly Haskell, The Washington Post

Synopsis
Henry Jenkins's pioneering work in the early 1990s promoted the idea that fans are among the most active and socially connected consumers of popular culture. This volume maps the core theoretical and methodological issues in Fan Studies, and also charts the growth of participatory culture on the web., Brings together the highlights of a decade and a half of groundbreaking research into the cultural life of media consumers Henry Jenkins's pioneering work in the early 1990s promoted the idea that fans are among the most active, creative, critically engaged, and socially connected consumers of popular culture and that they represent the vanguard of a new relationship with mass media. Though marginal and largely invisible to the general public at the time, today, media producers and advertisers, not to mention researchers and fans, take for granted the idea that the success of a media franchise depends on fan investments and participation. Bringing together the highlights of a decade and a half of groundbreaking research into the cultural life of media consumers, Fans, Bloggers, and Gamers takes readers from Jenkins's progressive early work defending fan culture against those who would marginalize or stigmatize it, through to his more recent work, combating moral panic and defending Goths and gamers in the wake of the Columbine shootings. Starting with an interview on the current state of fan studies, this volume maps the core theoretical and methodological issues in Fan Studies. It goes on to chart the growth of participatory culture on the web, take up blogging as perhaps the most powerful illustration of how consumer participation impacts mainstream media, and debate the public policy implications surrounding participation and intellectual property., Henry Jenkins's pioneering work in the early 1990s promoted the idea that fans are among the most active, creative, critically engaged, and socially connected consumers of popular culture and that they represent the vanguard of a new relationship with mass media.
