Henry Jenkins, is a main theorist in this field and he has said, “Participatory culture is emerging as the culture absorbs and responds to the explosion of new media technologies that make it possible for average consumers to archive, appropriate, and recirculate media content in powerful new ways.” (2009, p.8) This could bring into question whether textual poaching creates an active audience? Textual poaching is less of a neologism but it is something that explores the difference between passive and active audiences, by the way in which they participate with a text. Participatory culture is a neologism that references to how consumers are now becoming more involved with media.
It will also touch on the power control between the producers and the consumers, (who it could be said are becoming ‘prosumers’) and how the line is becoming more and more blurred between the two. It will explore how the consumers and audiences participate and textually poach the text. This essay will be exploring the differences and similarities of Textual Poaching and Participatory culture in relation to ‘The Hunger Games’, throughout both time and space.
