Abstract

In 2009, Tim Jordan wrote that “the possibilities for power and society in times of digital media and the Internet are still not well understood” (Jordan, 2009, p. 1). In Internet years, that may as well have been a lifetime ago. Six years on, such disparate and bewildering events as WikiLeaks (2010 and onward), the Arab Spring (2011), the Snowden revelations (2013), the hacking of Sony Pictures (2014), and most recently, the theft of unimaginable amounts of information on U.S. federal employees by (allegedly) Chinese hackers (2015) have given us a palpable sense of what is possible in this brave new digital world. Odds are there will be a new case to add to the list before this review is published. Meanwhile, governments, corporations, and civil society continue to spar, both publicly and behind the scenes, over tradeoffs between privacy, free expression, public safety, and national security. Individuals, too, are embroiled in these politics of information, grappling daily with the intrusion of the digital into daily life at home, at work, and at play.

蒂姆·乔丹:《信息政治:数字社会中的解放与剥削》
2009年,蒂姆·乔丹写道,“数字媒体和互联网时代的权力和社会的可能性仍然没有得到很好的理解”(乔丹,2009年,第1页)。在互联网时代,这可能是一辈子以前的事了。六年过去了,维基解密(2010年及以后)、阿拉伯之春(2011年)、斯诺登泄密(2013年)、索尼影业(2014年)遭黑客入侵,以及最近(据称)中国黑客(2015年)窃取美国联邦雇员难以想象的大量信息,这些截然不同、令人困惑的事件让我们清楚地意识到,在这个勇敢的新数字世界里,什么是可能的。在这篇评论发表之前,很可能会有一个新的病例被添加到列表中。与此同时,政府、企业和公民社会继续在公开场合和幕后就隐私、言论自由、公共安全和国家安全之间的取舍问题进行争论。个人也卷入了这些信息政治,每天都在努力应对数字对家庭、工作和娱乐日常生活的入侵。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Communication is an online, multi-media, academic journal that adheres to the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world. The International Journal of Communication is an interdisciplinary journal that, while centered in communication, is open and welcoming to contributions from the many disciplines and approaches that meet at the crossroads that is communication study. We are interested in scholarship that crosses disciplinary lines and speaks to readers from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. In other words, the International Journal of Communication will be a forum for scholars when they address the wider audiences of our many sub-fields and specialties, rather than the location for the narrower conversations more appropriately conducted within more specialized journals. USC Annenberg Press USC Annenberg Press is committed to excellence in communication scholarship, journalism, media research, and application. To advance this goal, we edit and publish prominent scholarly publications that are both innovative and influential, and that chart new courses in their respective fields of study. Annenberg Press is among the first to deliver journal content online free of charge, and devoted to the wide dissemination of its content. Annenberg Press continues to offer scholars and readers a forum that meets the highest standards of peer review and engages established and emerging scholars from anywhere in the world.
