It's the Season 1 finale of Fandom Made Me! Host Sabrina Cartan invites author and USC Professor Henry Jenkins to reflect on Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide, his widely celebrated book that changed the way we think about the relationship between media and fandom. Together, Henry and Sabrina talk about what's changed in the 17 years since the book's release and cover some hot media tips, such as: the Barbenheimer phenomenon, whether AI is a form of transformative work, white supremacist violence in fandoms like Star Wars and gaming communities, fan reactions to Netflix's password sharing ban, how piracy is a missed market testing opportunity for studios, and how fandom can be a form of diplomacy when media is a soft power.  Follow Henry's blog:  http://henryjenkins.org/ Follow Fandom Forward: http://fandomforward.org/ Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/fandomforward Follow Sabrina on social media: instagram.com/sabrinacartan twitter.com/sabrinacartan Hosted on Acast.
