Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2015, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
The availability of cultural content provided by modern means of communication isenormous. In developing countries, the internet becomes the main tool to bridge thegap in cultural transmission. Also, it facilitates active participation in the global culturalexchange, as today’s customers increasingly act as prosumers. They not only receive thecultural content but also participate in its development and modification. However, formany consumers in Poland and other countries in the (semi-)periphery of world system,the language is the main barrier to cultural consumption. Most of the content of cultureavailable on the internet – i.e., video content – is unintelligible for the Polish audience.Therefore, translation of dialogues becomes an essential aspect of cultural participation.This paper considers the internet community that responded to this need, i.e., amateurfansubbers. They create specific online mass collaboration projects whose characteristicswill be analysed within the framework of Talcott Parsons’s theory.
