to sreejitha just forwarding from an interesting piece: "The theory that cyberspace is an open space is at once true and not so true. There are protocols of appreciation of the cyberspace and its various cultural products or goods. These protocols of appreciation are protocols of exclusion. The invention of moderator and moderation in E discussion groups is a sort of protocol that is based on the premise of an essentialised conception of what is 'good'.
...The intimacy of the cyberspace produces a stickiness that needs to be guarded (read untouchability) against through the agency of moderator and moderation. Caste panchayats were the earlier forms of cordoning off such seminal contacts." hegemony is decided by the power-centre (philosophy of caste panchayats or moderators) counter-hegemony by the new assertions (ideology being the playground) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
