[ecrea] Participations 9.2 (including four Special Sections)

Sat Dec 08 11:01:57 GMT 2012


I hope some of you will be interested to know that the new issue of /Participations/ has just gone online. A massive issue, with more than 40 contributions, it contains -- apart from some individual essays -- four Special Sections: on comicbook audiences; on music audiences; on multiplatform audiences; and on multimethod research into audiences (the last two arising out of European-supported COST Action projects). Plus three reviews.

As ever, you will find the Journal at www.participations.org <http://www.participations.org>.

Happy holidays (soon ...) everyone.
