The Convergence Culture

Henry Jenkins's "Convergence Culture" speaks of a shifting canon, changes of a border-line and an achievable utopia. Once upon a time, the information producers were a concentrated, almost monopolistic and mystified power; and one day, the devil came into the story with an increasing light of collective intelligence and this mystified shadow became visible. Now, we are in the middle of this fairy tale, old producers are fighting to wear their old clothes in a new fashion and the devil is increasing the light more collectively and more participatory to keep the power naked. Also, once the boundary between producers and the consumers were a border line, the devil occupied a territory between the producers and consumers and now both of them are migrating to this in-between land. And once there was an impossible utopia, there was a wish for an achievable utopia, something light as air as democracy, and the devil showed a way. Henry Jenkins is the story-teller of this fairy tale in his "Convergence Culture". He narrates that how the devil of new media makes this fairy tale to be real, to be possible to live in.
Although, the western producer-heroes tried to wear fascinating Sunday clothes, the saint-producers of my country had sword and a mystifies mask of smile and anger. The convergence culture was growing in my land from a luxury culture of high-class families to the plastic product of an ordinary daily tool. There was a collective attempts of the ignored people in using the plastic tools of new media. They could see each other and they were replacing the ignorant eyes of the government to the interactive none-neglecting and collective looks of each other. It showed its power in these months, in the protests against the mask of the violent saint, the government, in order to touch an achievable utopia of democracy. Youtube played an important role; armature film-makers of the streets, all the young people of 16 to 60 were making their own films, the adventure of Harry Potter in Tehran streets, and the young ladies were participating in reading Lolita in Tehran. They were posting their films; the kind devil of new media could occupy the territory and in this land the violent saint were naked. He was not saint anymore, He was killing the innocents in the streets in front of the millions eyes of a convergence culture. The saint is fighting now, he tries to make its own Photoshop, yes, He is using Photoshop to show he is many, the tricks of photoshoped images are obvious, therefore this many faces became one face, a minority of armed people who can not stop lying and the convergence culture can not stop revealing.
But, as Jenkins asserts, it is just the beginning; "we must continue to ask hard questions about the practice and institutions which are taking place. we need to be more attentive to the ethical dimensions by which we are generating knowledge, producing culture and engaging in politics together."
