Surely, CMS as a superset counts here too...
http://www.re-public.gr/en/?page_id=17The new online journal Re-public invites contributions for its upcoming
special issue entitled “Wiki politics”. The democratic promise of the
Internet has remained partly unfulfilled. It is still doubtful how the
use of new collaborative tools (wikis, blogs, forums, mailing lists,
podcasting, and videos) can transform the ways politics are practiced
and how the increasing prospects for larger political participation can
result to the emergence of active citizens. Perhaps, it is essential to
start from the concrete: Wiki politics is a concept that encompasses
existing practices which instantly give birth to new democratic forms.
They produce a particular form of political participation -horizontal
and equitable- which operates on the basis of the principles of
decentralisation and openness. The issue aims to explore the openings
that the concept of the ‘wiki politics’ presents for democratic theory
and practice. Possible topics include:
• Horizontal forms of politics
• self-organizing networks
• collective intelligence
• wikis, new identities, new collectivities
• wikis and political campaigns
• wikifying knowledge
• technologies of cooperation (wikis, blogs, forums, mailing lists,
podcasting, and videos)
Essays should be approximately 1.000 words long.
We will also publish journalistic pieces or reports of shorter length.
Please submit contributions in any electronic format to:
phatzopoulos AT re-public.gr
Deadline for articles: 10 March 2007
