Abstract:

This
panel brings together a range of disciplinary perspectives and
methodological approaches to address the question of YouTube’s uses and
implications. Each of the papers provides new insights into the
dynamics of YouTube as part of the emerging cultural public sphere.
While focusing on YouTube as a particularly rich case study, the panel
contributes new ideas to the broader issue of how communication
research might most productively engage with the scale and diversity of
participatory popular culture online
