Since 2006, Henry Jenkins's Confessions of an Aca-Fan blog has hosted 
interviews in which academics, activists, and artists have shared their 
views on the changing media landscape. For the first time, Jenkins – 
often called “the Marshall McLuhan for the twenty-first century” – 
compiles some of these interviews to highlight his recurring interests 
in popular culture and social change.

Structured around three core concepts – culture, learning, politics – 
and designed as a companion to Participatory Culture in a Networked Era, 
this book broadens the conversation to incorporate diverse thinkers such 
as David Gauntlett, Ethan Zuckerman, Sonia Livingstone, S. Craig 
Watkins, James Paul Gee, Antero Garcia, Stephen Duncombe, Cathy J. 
Cohen, Lina Srivastava, Jonathan McIntosh, and William Uricchio. With an 
introduction from Jenkins and reflections from each interviewee, this 
volume speaks to a sense of crisis as contemporary culture has failed to 
fully achieve the democratic potentials once anticipated as a 
consequence of the participatory turn.

This book is ideal for students and scholars of digital media, popular 
culture, education, and politics, as well as general readers with an 
interest in the topic.



“Henry Jenkins collects here, for a dark political time, some engaging 
conversations with leading scholars around one core issue: the 
transformative social potential of culture when it operates in a 
participatory mode. The result is open, richly contextual, and genuinely 
exhilarating.” Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political 
Science

“Participatory Culture contains a multiplicity of voices that each 
uniquely expresses support for democracy, empowerment, respect, and 
empathy. With this book, Henry Jenkins has generously created a 
transdisciplinary meeting place, which will offer novel ideas to each 
reader.” Nico Carpentier, Charles University in Prague
