摘要：In November 2001, Particip@tions Volume 1 Issue 1, consisting of an editorial introduction, three provocations to thought and two book reviews, made its web debut. In their preamble to this then brave and rather ‘odd’ new venture, Martin Barker and Ernest Mathijs presented the case for a specialist journal to address the complexity of audience research. Seeking to extend the scope of audience studies from the usual suspects of film and television reception, they flagged the possibility of a cross-disciplinary approach which could encompass museum audiences, theatre reception, festival publics, visitor studies and all sorts of interactive and participative audiences.
