Book part:
The age of print literacy and ‘deep critical attention’ is filled with war, genocide and environmental devastation

Author(s): Jones, Rodney

Abstract

Rodney Jones points out the collusion of governments and corporations in an unregulated internet, as well as the potential of participatory media for grassroots movements and surveillance. He examines the discursive economies of social network sites and their algorithms, the (partially justified) replacement of experts by crowd wisdom, the (historical) dialectic of quantification and narrativisation (especially in clinical medicine), the self-tracking movement, the selfpresentation on Facebook, and the the current role of (media) literacy in the educational environment.
