literature on Informational (Internet) Power
Dear all, I am a Chinese student of sociology. Now I am writing a part of my dissertation about informational (Internet) power. The power I want to discuss is the one achieved by ordinary people through down-to up path to effect both Internet and entity, rather than the one owned by a state or nation. Could you please suggest me some articles/books about it? Thank you very much! I appreciate your help gratefully!

I suppose you've already find this book: Yang, G. (2009). The power of the Internet in China: Citizen activism online: Columbia University Press. I recently found this book is useful, it talks about media and social change (not specifically about the internet though): Tufte, T., & Enghel, F. (2009). Youth engaging with the world: media, communication and social change: Nordicom. this one could also be useful: Banaji, S., & Buckingham, D. (2013). The civic web : young people, the Internet and civic participation / by Shakuntala Banaji and David Buckingham: Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press, [2013].

And if you’re going to explore “informational power”, it is vital to engage with Braman’s taxonomy of power, as discussed in Braman, S. (2006). Change of state: Information, policy, and power.

Adding to Sandra Braman great book, I have been working for years on the notion of power of information (here are two examples): Nahon Karine, 2011, “Fuzziness of Inclusion/Exclusion in Networks”, International Journal of Communication, vol.5, pp. 756-772. -http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/1119/552 And a newer piece - Nahon Karine, 2015, “Where there is Social Media there is Politics”, Eds., Bruns A. , Skogerbo E., Chistensen C., Larsson O.A, and Enli G.S, NYC, NY: Routledge (Forthcoming) - http://ekarine.org/wp-admin/pub/Nahon_PoliticsSM.pdf Karine On 8/4/15, 20:19, "Air-L on behalf of Michael T Zimmer" <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org<mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org> on behalf of zimmerm@uwm.edu<mailto:zimmerm@uwm.edu>> wrote: And if you’re going to explore “informational power”, it is vital to engage with Braman’s taxonomy of power, as discussed in Braman, S.

Dear Chengting, If you are using a notion like information power then I suppose that you read Manuel Castells, in which case you should find Jack Qiu's chapter in The Network Society: A Cross-Cultural Perspective (edited by Castells and Elgar, 2004) which is a good introduction to the development of the Internet in China from that perspective I'm sure you are already familiar with the work of prof. Hu Yong, but some of his books might be of your interest (网络政治, 众声喧哗：网络时代的个人表达与公共讨论) Some of the chapters in these two edited volumes also present case studies of how ordinary people use the Internet for their own goals: - Online Society in China: Creating, Celebrating, and Instrumentalising the Online Carnival (Herold & Marolt 2011) - China Online Locating Society in Online Spaces (Marolt & Herold 2015) cheers, Gabriele
