Care e cari,
ho il piacere di annunciare la pubblicazione di un numero speciale dell'Internet Policy
Review intitolato "Doing internet governance: practices, controversies,
infrastructures, and institutions" e curato da me, Dmitry Epstein e
Christian Katzenbach. Eccone la presentazione:
This
special issue makes an argument for, and illustrates, the applicability
of a science and technology studies (STS) informed approach to internet
governance research. The conceptual framework put forward in this
editorial and the articles composing this issue add to the mainstream
internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics
and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and
taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design,
regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional
arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls
to rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance.
The issue includes an editorial and 10 articles:
