CfP EASST/4S 2020: Knowledge Online + Expertise in the Digital Age| Panel 124 | Deadline: 29.02.2019
Please, consider applying to our open panel: P *124. **No time to waste. <br>Bottom-up Expertise, Grass-root Authorities, and Agency in the Age of <br>Digital Knowledge, *at the EASST + 4S Joint Conference, 18-21 August 2020, <br>Prague, Czechia. <br> <br>Today, the new media allow us to exchange information and build online <br>knowledge repositories in unprecedented manners, at unprecedented speeds. <br>As a result, the internet offers contemporary information consumers access <br>to a somewhat infinite number of repositories of information coming from <br>countless sources. This brings *a promise of empowerment*, presupposing <br>that more knowledge means more (situated) agency. However, this also <br>challenges and reconfigures traditional areas and historically *hegemonic <br>knowledge hierarchies*. This panel aims to inquire into *how the Internet <br>influences the status quo*. <br> <br>Recent developments and the widespread adoption of ICTs across societies <br>contribute significantly both to sustaining and augmenting the visibility <br>of various forms of knowledge as well as various forms of knowledge <br>production practices. Internet engages individual users as prod-users, <br>making *the Web a bricolage of agency of multiple social actors*, with <br>their unique social and cultural capitals. <br> <br>Today’s the internet is polyphonic and fast changing, with the historically <br>highest accessibility rates world-wide. In this panel we ask, *how do <br>information consumers navigate the Web for knowledge in various contexts? <br>Does the Internet make them feel more empowered? How do they “do their <br>research”, self-educate, become “experts” or “authorities”?* <br> <br>With an aim to answers the above questions, we invite papers that provide <br>an empirical insights into* knowledge-related practices online*. We welcome <br>case studies that touch upon the relationship between knowledge, agency, <br>and internet media, focusing, among other topics, on issues such as: <br> <br> - knowledge production on the Internet, <br> - bottom-up expertise, <br> - knowledge exchange, <br> - collaboration and open collaboration communities, <br> - Googlization of knowledge, <br> - trust towards online sources of information. <br> <br>*In the attachment you will find the CfP pdf!* <br> <br>*Conference: *EASST + 4S Joint Conference, 18-21 August 2020, Prague. <br>*Convened by: *Ane Kathrine Lolholm Gammelby (Aarhus University), Magdalena <br>H.
