Abstract
In the second decade of the XXIth century, the user plays a decisive role in creating and viralizing transmedia content across social platforms and networks. The consolidation of a participatory culture has originated a new media landscape characterized by collaborative practices based on the search for new creative sources (crowdsourcing) and economic support (crowdfunding). After a review of the state of the art, I will provide a definition of User Generated Content (UGC) to encompass current sociocommunicative dynamics of the Web 2.0.Downloads
