The digital transformation of the public sphere
conflict, migration, crisis and culture in digital networks
Abstract
"People are on the move, and so is technology. In this turbulent account of a breathtaking global range, we discover a treasure trove of bottom-up case studies on community-based social media use. Using the lens of migration we get a unique insight into diaspora networks and the rise of conflicts in the digital realm. The collected stories prove that the public sphere is no longer a given and is being rebuilt as we speak on the net." Geert Lovink, Institute of Network Cultures, the Netherlands Peter Lunt, University of Leicester, UK "With breathtaking conceptual and geographical scope, this volume explodes our notion of digital politics. In its comprehensive approach to studying technology as narratives, users and infrastructures in crisis and conflict situations, this carefully curated book provokes lively dialogue about risks and opportunities of our contemporary public sphere" Jonathan Ong, University of Leicester, UK
