"Going Public" in media-cooperative Forms of Engagement (B03)

在社交媒体的帮助下，出现了新的公民社会参与形式。特别是在绿色能源和可持续农业的问题公众中，公民采用在线和离线发布索赔的新方法。该研究项目通过访谈、参与日记和网络记录重建了这些新形式的公民参与。目标是阐明变革的推动者、主要媒体实践、动机和学习过程。所研究的案例因其争议性或解决问题的实验性而有所不同。该研究项目的主要目标是基于约翰·杜威的民主实验主义的“创造性公众”的新概念。

With the help of social media new forms of civil society engagement have emerged. Particularly within the issue-publics of green energy and sustainable agriculture, citizens apply new approaches of publishing claims online as well as offline. The research project reconstructs these new forms of civic engagement by using interviews, participation diaries and netnografy. The goal is to elucidate change agents, main media practices, motives, and learning processes. The cases under study vary regarding their contentious or problem-solving, experimental character. The main objective of the research project is a new concept of 'creative publics' based on John Dewey's democratic experimentalism.
