The Decline of the Digital Commons
The notion of the digital commons emerged in the late 1990s and has been elaborated in the service of divergent political commitments in the following years. These have ranged from a renewal of liberal market capitalism, to a development of institutions for self-governing, to an articulation of post-capitalism. Across many internal differences, these approaches have shared expectations that the digital commons, due to their character as advanced …

Breakdown 2.0? Systemic Blockages in Late-Stage Statism and Late-Stage Liberal Capitalism
Castells' analysis of the breakdown of Soviet statism is possibly more relevant now than when it was written. By identifying systemic blockages to necessary societal transformation-then from industrialism to informationalism-he offers a framework to analyze the contemporary crisis of liberal democracy. Then and now, the challenges are caused by the system's inability to organize the complexity created by itself which creates more and more interna…
Digital commons
Digital commons, understood as shared information, culture and knowledge resources created and maintained online, are a crucial concept to think about the development of the digital sphere beyond surveillance capitalism and steer it toward a more socially inclusive and sustainable economy and a renewal of democracy
Commons, Informational
Commons are resources managed by a community for joint use. Since the late 1990s, new types of commons have emerged online. The core of these informational commons is created in four overlapping settings at the center of the information economy: free software, free culture, access to knowledge, and open data. Commons differ sharply from market‐based or command‐based modes of production, not the least through the relative absence of exclusive prop…
The Social Media Reader
The first collection to address the collective transformation happening in response to the rise of social media With the rise of web 2.0 and social media platforms taking over vast tracts of territory on the internet, the media landscape has shifted drastically in the past 20 years, transforming previously stable relationships between media creators and consumers. The Social Media Reader is the first collection to address the collective transform…
Media, Knowledge and Education
After a period of neoliberal blind faith in the power of economic self-interest and of austerity to tackle its catastrophic effects, we are re-discovering our more pleasant sides.There is currently a surge of interest in sharing -in research in various developmental sciences, in popular debate and most of all in practice.This paper proposes that our society is undergoing a Sharing Turn that has its roots in human nature and in cultural history, i…
Personal Web searching in the age of semantic capitalism
Web search engines have become indispensable tools for finding information online effectively. As the range of information, context and users of Internet searches has grown, the relationship between the search query, search interest and user has become more tenuous. Not all users are seeking the same information, even if they use the same query term. Thus, the quality of search results has, at least potentially, been decreasing. Search engines ha…
Autonomy beyond Privacy? A Rejoinder to Colin Bennett
A response to Colin Bennett's 'In Defence of Privacy
Privacy is not the Antidote to Surveillance
The standard reaction to the problem of surveillance is to demand the protection of privacy. This article, however, argues that the conventional notion of privacy, based, as it is, on the separation of the individual from their environment, is no longer useful in the context of ubiquitous electronic communication. Rather than defending ever shrinking areas of privacy, we should refocus our efforts and demand accountability from those design and e…
Bourgeois anarchism and authoritarian democracies
Digital communication is profoundly affecting the constitution of (civil) society by drastically lowering the costs to speak across time and space with individuals and groups of any size, and by producing abundant records of all activities conducted through these media. This is accelerating two contradictory trends. On the one hand, a new breed of social organizations based on principles of weak cooperation and peer production is sharply expandin…
Open Source Intelligence
The Open Source movement has established over the last decade a new collaborative approach, uniquely adapted to the Internet, to developing high-quality informational products. Initially, its exclusive application was the development of software (GNU/Linux and Apache are among the most prominent projects), but increasingly we can observe this collaborative approach being applied to areas beyond the coding of software. One such area is the collabo…
Failures and Successes
Between 1997 and 2001, two mid-sized communities in Canada hosted North America's most comprehensive experiment to introduce electronic cash and, in the process, replace physical cash for casual, low-value payments. The technology used was Mondex, and its implementation was supported by all the country's major banks. It was launched with an extensive publicity campaign to promote Mondex not only in the domestic but also in the global market, for …
The Failure of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) and the Voiding of Privacy
Most contemporary conceptions of privacy are based on a notion of aseparation between the individual and the environment. On the oneside of this boundary lies 'the private' on the other lies 'the public'.The struggle over the protection of privacy is about defending thisboundary and the individual's ability to determine who can access theprivate under what conditions. Such a conception of privacy, far from being universal, is in facthistorically …

Beyond portals and gifts
The Internet is haunted by its own promise: the liberation of information. Typically, this promise is a strange hybrid of 60's progressive libertarianism and 90's aggressive venture capitalism. The slogan "information wants to be free" still shapes the dynamics of on-line content consumption and production. The results: America Online and Netscape merge and the high-tech gift economy flourishes
Exploring Policy Issues of Electronic Cash
Electronic cash in Canada is moving from the developmental into the implementation phase. Mondex, a smart card-based electronic money system, began its most extensive field trial worldwide on February 13, 1997 in Guelph, Ontario, foreshadowing a Canadian nationwide roll-out. This paper introduces the basic concepts of electronic money and describes the Mondex system and the dynamics of its current test in detail. This provides the basis for an an…
