Nätverkskulturer

I veckobrevet i vår kurs tipsar man om en filmen The 21st Century Learner med bland annat Henry Jenkins. Jag hade nytta av hans rapport Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture när jag skrev inlämningsuppgiften om nätverkskulturer. Han definierar Participatory Culture så här:

"A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic  engagement, strong support for creating and sharing creations, and some type of informal  mentorship whereby experienced participants pass along knowledge to novices. In a participatory culture, members also believe their contributions matter and feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least, members care about others’ opinions of what they have created)." 

Vad tror ni? Är nätverkskulturer och Participatory Cultures samma sak eller är Jenkins definition snävare?
