Abstract

This volume addresses the matter of participatory media practices as playful appropriations of media technology within current digital media cultures. It introduces case studies, concepts, and methodologies at a time when participation seems to be the general condition of media culture—a condition, one might be tempted to label post-participatory. Commonly understood as becoming involved in doing “something” or as taking part in “something”, in the context of media use, participation is commonly associated with a changing attitude of consumers towards the contents of media products.

As indicated in the German translation of participation as “Teilnahme”, which literally means “taking (a) part” in something, compared to “Teilhabe”, which points to the rather less active state of being involved in something, or “having a part” in something.
