Week 5 Framing Questions
- Lanier talks about a “Fourth Quadrant.” I am unclear as to what this quadrant system refers to, and specifically what are the other three quadrants in regards to crowd schemes?
- Lanier spends a large part of the first chapter talking about a Circle of Empathy. He says that when you change your circle, you redefine your self. This seems a little strong to me. Are we so wrapped up in who we associate with that we are redefined completely when we change our circle of empathy?
- Jenkins talks about convergence in both grassroots campaigns and in corporate media. I understand how fan productions are part of grassroots convergence of media. But, how does grassroots Star Wars fan productions fit into corporate media convergence?
