This book aims to address this gap. Through case studies that
range from TV showrunning to independent publishing, from the
film industry to social media platforms such as Tumblr and
Wattpad, this collection develops a critical understanding of the

platforms and networked publics. It considers how these are
incorporated into emergent market paradigms and investigates the
complicated forms of subjectivity that develop as a consequence.
