WIKIWORLD



“The Wikiworld is build thorugh the ‘collaborative turn,’ or what is called participatory culture, which includes relatively low barriers of civic engagement and activism, artistic and other sorts of expression, easy access for creating and sharing one’s outputs with others, peer-to-peer relations and informal mentorship.” (2)



changes in the modes of production, governance, and property.
Changes will occur through 3 processes: 3 modes of freedom:

-p2p production mode : different to the capitlalisti 'anything for porit standard. different from public production by state-ownned enterprises common to welfare states.  >>> produce value through the free cooperation of producers who have access to distributed capital : distributed intellectual resources, computer networks, pooled finance


-The pproduct and purpose of p2p production mode is not to produce useless commodities or 'exchange value for a market, but use-value for a community of users'. The changes will also be 'governed by the community of producers themselves, and not by market allocation or corporate hierarchy: this is the p2p governance mode, or third mode of governance.'

-They make value freely accessible on a universal basis, through new common property regimes. This is its distribution or peer property mode: a third mode of ownership, different from private property or public (state) property.


"fundamental epistemological changes in how future generations will cope with the world." 160

"radical opennes in the very media people use. It allows or demands that people participate and collaborate with each other. And it also allows them to see how knowledge is constructed -as in Wikipedia and other wikis - where creation and negotiation can be tracked very precisely by clicking  the 'history' and 'discusion' buttons." 160



"The ability to track changes leads to a wolrd in whic people begin to take for granted that many areas of human conduct and knowledge are based on processes of negotiation and meaning-making bouth in virtual spaces and elsewhere. And perhaps more than tat, they will eventually decide to become ever more responsivle for the world, as agents of history, by abolishing the distincitions between those who know and do, those who consume and obey."162


"In the realm of the Internet, or the Wikiwolrd, collaborative peer-to-peer practices are flourishing. These practices utilise people's 'general intellect', common knowlegdge and voluntary participation." 163



The notion of community evokes meanings such as stability, coherence, common history, embeddedness, belonging and certain social recognition (Wittel 2001, p.51). It involves strong interaction and loglasting ties as well as rich collective narratives. Conversely, networ sociality is not based on a common narrative but on informational acts; as observed by Andreas Wittel, network sociality is 'not based on mutual experience or common history but primarily on an exchange of data. In network sociality the social bond is created on a project-by-project basis.107
