Hashtag-ifying for a better democracy
La présentation que Claude Théoret et moi avions proposée à South By Southwest dans la catégorie «Government and Civic Engagement» n’a pas été retenue. Dommage. En voici les grandes lignes :
In an era of unprecedented cynicism and distrust towards the electoral process, the self-organization of the social web is becoming a new space of civic engagement. Are hashtags the town halls of the future? Lessons learned from the student uprising in Québec.
- How is trust established in policy debate online?
- Why are facts sacred (and opinion worthless)?
- Why should you engage with your adversaries?
- What policy makers can learn from social listening?
- Why is the emergence of the interest graph so important for policy planning?
Nous aimerions bien la réaliser, car le concept de l’engagement est un des piliers de la nouvelle économie du partage (voir l’article mentionné dans mon billet sur le sociofinancement ou financement collaboratif).
