b'In this episode, we focus on research from a special themed edition of the Participations journal of audience research looking at the notion of unsocial audiences and non-traditional, extended and disruptive forms of spectatorship. Dario\'s contribution to the journal was an article on a project examining the potential of second screening as a tool for film analysis and this podcast features his interviews with three of the other contributors. He speaks to the editors of the edition Steve Gaunson and Tessa Dwyer about the background and development of the issue and their own articles on disruptive cinema in Silent Era and the phenomenon of Japanese bullet screenings. Dario then discusses the phenomena of Second Screening directly with James Blake how outlines its uses for new forms of transmedia storytelling. Finally, Dario talks to Helen Kennedy who has researched extensively on extended, live, and theatrical possibility of the cinematic specifically here in terms of Secret Cinema.\\nShow Notes\\nDwyer, Tessa & Steve Gaunson:\\xa0\'Un/social cinema \\u2013 audience decorum revisited\\nBlake, James:\\xa0\'Second Screen interaction in the cinema: Experimenting with transmedia narratives and commercialising user participation\'\\nLlinares, Dario:\\xa0\'"Please turn your phone on": Analysing outcomes of second-screen spectatorship using Social Media in the cinema space\'\\nDwyer, Tessa:\\xa0\'Hecklevision, Barrage Cinema and Bullet Screens: An intercultural analysis\'\\nGaunson, Steve:\\xa0\'The \'Picture\' habit: Bad decorum and delinquents at the Silent Cinema\'\\nKennedy, Helen:\\xa0\'"Join a cast of 1000s, to sing and dance in the Revolution": the Secret Cinema\\xa0"Activist" brand and the commodification of affect within "experience communities"\'\\nThe rest of the articles from this themed section can be found here:\\xa0http://www.participations.org/Volume%2014/Issue%202/contents.htm'
