Dramatic Participation Reshaping Public Engagement via Decentralized Creation Platforms

Abstract

This study examines the intersection of dramatic participation and decentralized creation platforms, investigating how modern technologies such as blockchain and smart contracts within decentralized networks restructure power dynamics in dramatic creation. Technological convergence shifts public engagement from passive consumption to active co-creation. Supported by Bourdieu’s "Field" theory, Habermas’s "Public Sphere" theory, and DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) theory, this research reveals the paradigm shift in technology-empowered public participation in dramatic arts and its societal significance. Decentralized platforms democratize creative authority while applying dramatic participation to community self-governance enhances public discourse expression, ultimately fostering a dramatic engagement ecology of "co-creation, co-governance, co-sharing".
