Somewhere in the middle, lie the proteurs “Quoting the Korean Broadcasting Company, researchers categorise certain creators as ‘proteurs’or ‘people who have gained recognition as professionals for their hobbies even if they don’t have relevant professional certificates or degrees” (Lange 91).There are several of these “proteur” versions, which showcase an individual user’s creativity and media abilities, such as Cat Head Theatre’s rendition of Act II, Scene ii, created by nakedrabbit, which features cats as actors. There are silly, home-made renditions of scenes and poorly animated plot summaries. Amongst all these various options are several versions which were created “professionally”, as a full-length film or play performance, and then remediated and uploaded by YouTube users in segments. If one searches for “Hamlet” on, a plethora of results will load, ranging from clips of David Tennant’s delivery of Hamlet’s most famous soliloquies to user-generated performances of famous scenes in which YouTube account holders themselves are actors.
