Abstract:
This is a study of the power to monitor what is said, authorize who may speak, and even to determine what is and what is not knowable within the context of electronic discourse communities. It tests the claim that the Internet and other wide-area networking systems promote participatory democracies and may serve as agencies for communal change by enabling the formation of resisting subjectivities.
