摘要：This November 2016 edition of Participations is once again rich and varied. It offers a total
of seven individual essays, on a wide range of topics. These cover: contemporary TV
audiences and their constructions of identity (Bourdaa & Lozano Delmar); The unusual
experience of audiences on cruise-ship music festivals (Cashman); the responses of feminist
viewers to the TV series Mad Men (Holladay); the way people watch and evaluate film
trailers (Johnston et al.); the role of radio in the aftermath of the New Zealand earthquake
(Joyce); online activities among Korean fans of the American TV series Gossip Girl (Lee); and
the way local people in the UK’s North responded to an exhibition of David Hockney’s
paintings (Taylor). It also offers a large number of contributions from participants in the
2013-5 World Hobbit Project, which recruited more than 36,000 responses to a common
online questionnaire. Many aspects of the Project are explored in the various essays.
