Political Representation in the Digital Age
Friday October 10 2003
Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford
How are electronic communications and the internet impacting on political
representation?
The idea of the internet as a technology which would displace
representation by direct citizen action is giving way to the idea of the
internet as a technology which will change everyday understandings of
'representation' and could bring the tensions of political representation
into relief. Contributions to political theory that emphasise that
political, governing power is at root representational are increasingly
challenging projects of direct self-government and the neutralisation of
political power. Far from eliminating representation, the internet
highlights normative questions of responsibility, authority, freedom and
equality that must be addressed by all political actors whether organised,
disorganised, individual or collective, citizens or politicians, power
seekers or power challengers.
