Internet and Surveillance - The Challenges of Web 2.0 and Social Media

internet_and_surveillanceC. Fuchs, K. Boersma, A. Albrechtslund, M. Sandoval (eds.)

The Internet has been transformed in the past years from a system primarily oriented on information provision into a medium for communication and community-building. The notion of 'Web 2.0', social software, and social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have emerged in this context.

With such platforms comes the massive provision and storage of personal data that are systematically evaluated, marketed, and used for targeting users with advertising. In a world of global economic competition, economic crisis, and fear of terrorism after 9/11, both corporations and state institutions have a growing interest in accessing this personal data.

Here, contributors explore this changing landscape by addressing topics such as commercial data collection by advertising, consumer sites and interactive media; self-disclosure in the social web; surveillance of file-sharers; privacy in the age of the internet; civil watch-surveillance on social networking sites; and networked interactive surveillance in transnational space.

Deliberation, the Media and Political Talk

Rousiley C. Maia

New book by IAMCR member

In recent years democratic theory has taken a deliberative turn and one central question that needs to be answered is how to connect face-to-face conversations and deliberations in particular forums to broader discussions in the larger society. Working within the cutting edges of deliberative theories, this book surveys the role of the mass media in the deliberative system and investigates, through a set of empirical cases, a range of key problems in the media arena: the interplay between arguing and strategic maneuvering; public demands for accountability; emotional appeal for deliberation; tensions between agonistic and diplomatic deliberation; and the public construction of general claims.
