Digital Dilemmas is a groundbreaking ethnographic, mixed method
approach to understanding dynamics of power and resistance as they
are played out around the future of the internet. M. I. Franklin
looks at the way that publics, governments, and multilateral
institutions are being redefined and reinvented in digital settings
that are ubiquitous and yet controlled by a relative few. Franklin
does this through three original and wide-ranging case studies that
get at the way that computer-mediated power relations play out "on
the ground" through a mixture of overlapping online and offline
activity, at personal, community, and transnational levels. Case
studies include online activities around homelessness and street
papers in the U.S. and around the world, digital and human rights
activism carried out though the United Nations, and the ongoing
battle between proprietary and free and open source software
proponents. The result is a thought-provoking and seminal work on
the way that the new paradigms of power and resistance forged
online reshape localized and traditional power structures offline.
