It addresses questions on how different forms of internet-based collectivities (masses, crowds, movements, communities ) could be understood and differentiated from one another. It presents analyses on the role technical infrastructures of the web play for their formation, how the mobilization and organization of social movements and social protests has changed through social media, how work and decision-making processes are organized in open source communities and why the essential segments of the commercial internet are today concentrated in the hands of a few corporations who dispose over significant economic, infrastructural and rule-setting power.SpringerBriefs in Sociology,2212-6368SociologyDigital mediaCommunicationSociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Digital/New Mediahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412040Media Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X29000Sociology.Digital media.Communication.Sociology, general.Digital/New Media.Media Research.302.231Dolata Ulrichauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut874980Schrape Jan-Felixauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910300588003321Collectivity and Power on the Internet2175770UNINA
