What do you understand by the words ‘produser’, ‘produsage’, and ‘intercreativity’? Are they useful in understanding collaborative creation of content online?
Online gaming communities and sites such as Wikipedia can be categorised as 'produsage.' In Bruns' terms 'produsage' is "the collaborative, iterative, and user-led production of content by participants in a hybrid user-producer, or 'produser' role." (2006: 1)
A 'produser' is someone who is between production and consumption of the website or program. A 'produser' has a say in the content and can also contribute to it. Again, a good example of this would be Wikipedia.
The way 'produsers' work together is called 'Intercreativity.' The content is created by more than one person, and is done so online.Because it is done online it is interactive, and therefore this process is called intercreativity.
