I was invited to give a talk this Saturday at the free culture festival Common Culture of Umeå. I presented some of the results from my research project about cultures of online piracy, and concluded with discussing a set of theoretical concepts relating to the field of participatory culture in general. This event was a great opportunity to talk about, and discuss, issues that I do research on with young people that take an active part in such subcultures that interest me from the academic perspective.
It was inspiring to see that my research results and perspectives seemed to converge with their ways of thinking, even though we have come into this field from different directions, and navigate it in different ways. I have been toying for some time with the idea of writing something about what I would call “subcultural innovation”, and this experience fuelled these ideas even more.
