Paper Abstract:
|
A lot of research into different aspects of modern society, and our ability to participate in its becoming, is today carrying the prefix of e, for example eSociety and eParticipation. e is though often treated as a fixed category rarely problemized. In this paper we want to highlight some of the implications of such a treatment of e and suggest a different analytical approach in order to analyse how e are intertwined with other social, cultural and economic structures. We propose a study that goes beyond the arranged, the established, the expected, and the wanted. To analyse eParticipation from the viewpoint of everyday life in combination with a power analysis of the discourse surrounding it offers both theoretical and methodological innovation in understanding a today widespread idea and could as such contribute to widening the dimensions acknowledged in relation to the concept. |
