其他摘要:Nowadays, it is not possible to discussquestions about citizenship and commu-nication policy without mentioning thetechnological structures that enhance thepublic debate. Through this way of thin-king, it is important to include the Inter-net in the set of stages which contribute togive the public sphere a higher coverage.In the current model of network com-munication, citizens are no longer onlyspectators in the arenas of public discus-sion, but active participants in a process that disrupts the traditional paradigm bro-adcast (media) – receiver (hearing). Inthe period of communication for the mas-ses, the public sphere was controlled byagents of the media system who conditi-onated the subjects of public discussion,due to a rigorous selection over whatshould reach the public and what the pu-blic should retain. However, somethingprofound has changed the relationshipsbetween politics, citizenship and commu-nication. In the recent model of .mass-self-communication., the citizens no lon-ger .have to ask permission. to .gateke-epers. to have direct access to the debateand to the decisions around common cau-ses. Indeed, in cyberspace hierarchies va-nish in favor of a decentralized and opencommunication. But, there's always aprice to pay. Ironically, the technologiesthat increase the citizenship are the samewhich intensify the electronic eye and thepanopticon surveillance society
