Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research analyzes the relationship between consumption and fabrication in fan community through ethnographic case studies of 15 informants aged 21-24 participating in common-based peer production community. Learning as fan fabrication is a new wave culture of mavens, who are devoted to an alternative to mass production. Digital creation in US and craftwork (especially, “Costume Play”) in Japan is a valuable venue for observing about, for example, appropriation, poaching, scaffording, and so on. My methodology is based on shadowing and participant observation. I group my findings in two different categories: (1) learning as networking through production, (2) fan agencies visualized through informal and collective learning.
