Theoretical framework
• Peer production (Benkler 2006)• Participatory Cultures (Jenkins 2006)• Produsage (Bruns 2008)• Meritocracy (Malaby 2009)• Bureaucracy (Kreiss et al. 2011; Weber
1983)• Distinctive innovation (Cunningham 2013)• Cultural intermediation (Bourdieu 1984;
Negus 2010)

non-human actors as they negotiate cultural artefact production is described as cultural intermediation” (Hutchinson: 5, forthcoming)
