The Fascinating Virtualpolitik
We highly recommend Liz Losh’s excellent Virtualpolitik: An Electronic History of Government Media-making in a Time of War, Scandal, Disaster, Miscommunication, and Mistakes (MIT Press 2009). From the MIT Press description: Today government agencies not only have official Web sites but also sponsor moderated chats, blogs, digital video clips, online tutorials, videogames, and virtual tours of national landmarks. Sophisticated online marketing campaigns target citizens with messages from the government—even as officials make news with digital gaffes involving embarrassing e-mails, instant messages, and videos. In Virtualpolitik, Elizabeth Losh closely examines the government’s digital rhetoric in such cases and its dual role as media-maker and regulator. Looking beyond the usual focus on interfaces, operations, and procedures, Losh analyzes the ideologies revealed in government’s digital discourse, its anxieties about new online practices, and what happens when officially sanctioned material is parodied, remixed, or recontextualized by users.
You can also check out Liz’s ever fascinating blog of the same name which she describes as: A BLOG ABOUT DIGITAL RHETORIC THAT ASKS THE BURNING QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRONIC BUREAUCRACY AND INSTITUTIONAL SUBVERSION ON THE INTERNET.
