Abstract

Digital citizenship is an attractive concept, and mapping the properties of those technologies carrying its forms of enactment in contemporary society is imperative. Ranging from open online elections to surreptitious info-warfare attacks, turning from online match-making to text-message kiss-offs, or running with cell-phone video reporting to Twittering poetry slams, contemporary society is becoming more commonly recognized, in part, as interactions of digital beings. As Internet-life enters its fifth decade, the infiltration of bit-driven modes of action, as well as the insertion of bit-built modes of structure into the material practices of strong states, weak states, and non-states, cannot be denied. In the US, the growing numbers of new cyber-assemblies, ranging from this party.org, association.net, and issue.com, to that company.com, agency.gov, and mil.net, are interacting in concert and/or contention against comparable info-collectives operating at other sites in different established states. Often politics on the Internet is a bit more than the sum total of politics off the Internet as blogs, video servers, and archives enliven ongoing face-to-face debates, but at other times closed worlds of online organizing, debating, fund-raising, voting, managing, or ruling erupt in far greater political struggles.
