Reviews"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, "There's been so much written about the Holocaust itself, but this will show the great sweep of Jewish culture that existed before." - Francine Klagsbrun, author of Jewish Days, "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, 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., "A major contribution to modern Jewish history. The entries are precise, clear and reliable. The photos are priceless and often rare." - Jehuda Reinharz, Richard Koret Professor of Modern Jewish History and President, Brandeis University, "An outstanding tribute to the vanished communities as well as a valuable document . . . . The editors have created a valuable resource for students, scholars, genealogists, and anyone interested in modern history. They have given the dead a monument and a name." - Booklist , starred review, Jenkins is one of us: a geek, a fan, a popcult packrat. He's also an incisive and unflinching critic.

SynopsisBrings 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' 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.
