Its been rather a slow day. I went out briefly earlier up the village, but other than that I’ve spent the day in my room. I found a cool Jenkins lecture on Youtube, which is vaguely related to my work. His concept of participatory culture interests me, and it’s certainly on the forefront of cultural studies, but whether it has links to cinephilia as it is dealt with academically remains to be seen. I’m afraid of shoehorning concepts into my work which don’t necessarily fit. The question remains over whether ‘fans, bloggers and gamers’ fettishise the contingent. Problem is, I have yet to see sufficient evidence that they do.
