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

在社交媒体的帮助下，出现了民间社会参与的新形式。特别是在绿色能源和可持续农业的问题公众，公民适用于在线和离线发布声明的新方法。本研究透过访谈、参与日记及网络图重建这些新的公民参与形式。目标是阐明变革的推动者，主要的媒体实践，动机和学习过程。所研究的案例在争议性或解决问题的实验性方面有所不同。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.
