The author argues that politics in its proper sense can be distinguished from anti-politics by analyzing the configuration of public space, subjectivity, participation, and conflict. Each of these terrains can be configured in a more or less political manner, though the contemporary status quo heavily skews them towards anti-political configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing this understanding of what exactly politics entails, this book considers how the internet can both help and hinder efforts to move each area in a more political direction. By explicitly interpreting contemporary theories of the political in terms of the internet, this analysis avoids the twin traps of both technological determinism and technological cynicism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaising awareness of what the word ‘politics’ means, the author develops theoretical work by Arendt, Rancière, Žižek and Mouffe to present a clear and coherent view of how in theory, politics can be digitized and alternatively how the internet can be deployed in the service of truly democratic politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Westminster Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52653903774063,"sku":"9781911534402","price":189.18,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/politicizing-digital-space","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
