Worshipping at the altar of convergence

It would be exaggerating to say that everything we've read so far is meant to prepare us for the kinds of arguments Jenkins tries to get away with. Nevertheless, I am hoping that some of the theoretical foundations we've outlined might help but his claims within a broader context. Jenkins is good at telling the representative anecdote and at collecting information about the commercial deployment of the promise of interactivity. He's a lot thinner on the theory -- and especially the critical theory, which he tends to see as a form of reverse ressentiment directed by academic elites toward the pleasures of the mass audience. He's less fun to read, I think, without having gone through the immaterial labor literature (let's hear it for affective economics) and even Dean's arguments (who possesses the "secret" of Survivor?). Which is another way of saying that I tend to think of his book more as an object of theoretical inquiry/critique than an exposition of it. Can we bring the theories of the multitude, of immaterial labor, of the decline of the big Other to bear on the examples/analysis that Jenkins lays out? And what useful points do we think he makes?
