"The blogosphere
could be a modern realisation of Jürgen Habermas’s idea of “the public sphere” because it was open to all, everything was discussable and social rank didn’t determine who was allowed to speak. But..the speed and comprehensiveness that tech corporations such as Google and Facebook would enclose that public sphere with their own walled gardens in which “free speech” could be algorithmically curated while the speakers were intensively surveilled and their data mined for advertising purposes."

Fun with slides. This week we're discussing #geeks and subcultural scenes in #China by using texts from https://chaoyang.substack.com/ to explore different #publics, #counterpublics, #cultures, #subcultures, and #affectivepublics. I appreciate when books have malleable and distinctive covers to play with -journal articles need better art (see again, Chaoyang Trap).
