Theory on Demand, Theory on Demand
Author: Annalisa Pelizza How to conceptualize online sociability in the 21st century? To answer this question, Communities at a Crossroads looks back at the mid-2000s. With the burst of the creative-entrepreneur alliance, the territorialisation of the internet and the commercialization of interpersonal ties, that period constituted a turning point for digital communitarian cultures. Many of the techno-libertarian culture’s utopias underpinning the ideas for online sociability faced systematic counter evidence. This change in paradigm has still consequences today. Avoiding both empty invocations of community and swift conclusions of doom, Annalisa Pelizza investigates the theories of actions that have underpinned the development of techno-social digital assemblages after the ‘golden age’ of online communities. |Publications

Studies in Network Cultures is a series produced in collaboration with nai010 publishers. The books investigate concepts and practices specific to the shifting environment of network cultures.
INC Readers give an overview of the present day research, critique, and artistic practices in a thematic research field at once broad and limited. The set up is multidisciplinary, with academic (humanities, social sciences, software studies etc.), artistic, and activist contributors.
Network Notebooks present new media research commissioned by the INC, giving researchers and other potential authors the chance to write a lengthy essay one the topic of their interest, as a (preliminary) conclusion of previous research work and/or laying the ground works for a future research project.
Theory on Demand presents an ‘archive of content production’ available in print-on-demand. The series includes reprints of theoretical new media work, for example dissertations or books that have gone out of stock, but also new work that’s unfit for traditional publishers.
Conference reports collect all blog posts and results from an INC event.
Zero Infinite is the INC podcast series.
Theory on Demand
Moving away from the strong body of critique of pervasive ‘bad data’ practices by both governments and private actors in the globalized digital economy, this book aims to paint an alternative, more optimistic but still pragmatic picture of the datafied future. The authors examine and propose ‘good data’ practices, values and principles from an interdisciplinary, international perspective. From ideas of data sovereignty and justice, to manifestos for change and calls for activism, this collection opens a multifaceted conversation on the kinds of futures we want to see, and presents concrete steps on how we can start realizing good data in practice. Editors: Angela Daly, S. Kate Devitt and Monique Mann |
