(2016) The digital transformation of the public sphere, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Online content control, memory and community isolation
pp. 83-106
Artur Alves discusses a 2011 defamation case against a Portuguese online community and association of precarious workers (Precários Inflexíveis). He argues that prospects for a strengthening of community cannot overlook the facts of contemporary life at the margins—connectivity without leisure, work without security, presence without sense of belonging. If community-building and identity-sharing move online to overcome these dilemmas, socio-technological systems should be revised so as to not hinder the prospects of a more open and plural public life.
