Wilberforce was popular in Parliament too. He was close friends with the Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger, and the two of them were the political celebrities of the 1780s: their charm, wit and position made them greatly sought after in up-market drawing-rooms and social circles. He confessed to a friend ".my own distinction was my darling object." He went on to become the MP for the whole of Yorkshire. He was the youngest member of the House of Commons.

6/23/2023 0 Comments Textual poaching![]() ![]() Addressing both academics and fans, Jenkins builds a powerful case for the richness of fan culture as a popular response to the mass media and as a challenge to the producers' attempts to regulate textual meanings. Drawing on the work of Michel de Certau, Jenkins shows how fans of Star Trek, Blake's 7, The Professionals, Beauty and the Beast, Starsky and Hutch, Alien Nation, Twin Peaks, and other popular programs exploit these cultural materials as the basis for their stories, songs, videos, and social interatctions. Written from an insider's perspective and providing vivid examples from fan artifacts, Textual Poachers offers an ethnographic account of the media fan community, its interpretive strategies, its social institutions and cultural practices, and its troubled relationship to the mass media and consumer capitalism. Rejecting stereotypes of fans as cultural dupes, social misfits, and mindless consumers, Jenkins represents media fans as active producers and skilled manipulators of program meanings, as nomadic poachers constructing their own culture from borrowed materials, as an alternative social community defined through its cultural preferences and consumption practices. Yet, as Textual Poachersargues, fans already have a life, a complex subculture which draws its resources from commercial culture while also reworking them to serve alternative interests. ![]() ![]() Get a life William Shatner told Star Trek fans. ![]() |
