Salut,

Je suis tombé par hasard sur le billet suivant :
http://pisani.blog.lemonde.fr/2008/12/22/rebooting-america-pour-une-tech-democratie/

Apparemment, un livre est sorti aux USA sur des idées voisines de
l'expérience démocratique : «Rebooting America - Ideas for redesigning
American Democracy for the Internet Age »

Idée du contenu : 
« The essayists, an array of creative, innovative
thinkers, were invited to contribute short essays on the following
topic:

When the Framers met in Philadelphia in 1787, they bravely conjured a
new form of self-government. But they couldn’t have imagined a mass
society with instantaneous, many-to-many communications or many of the
other innovations of modernity. So, replacing that quill pen with a
mouse, imagine that you have to power to redesign American democracy for
the Internet Age. What would you do?

Each of the essays has a unique central idea. There are common themes of
citizen participation and empowerment, but within those broad
brushstrokes are interesting areas of convergence and divergence. David
Weinberger discusses the critical importance of echo chambers to the
conversation among citizens that powers our democracy. danah boyd points
out the need to break through these silos to broaden the conversation
about community life, but also cautions about the potential of today’s
social networking sites to produce big changes in political
behavior. Glenn Harlan Reynolds discusses the fallacy of trying to
protect people’s privacy in the Internet Age, arguing that we should
instead focus on fostering greater transparency around (and through)
government institutions. Martin Kearns argues the opposite, that more
protections of individual privacy and data are needed to provide people
with a sense of personal security in order to engage civically either
online or offline.

Le livre est disponible intégralement en PDF. Mais 256 pages à imprimer,
ça fait un peu long. On peut apparemment l'acheter en ligne, mais pas
par Amazon ou similaire. Si un rennais l'imprime, je suis preneur.


Au cas ou ça ne serait pas explicite : je ne cautionne en rien les idées
exposées dans ce livre, je fais circuler l'info, c'est tout. Certaines
idées me semblent même carrément inquiétantes (« Glenn Harlan Reynolds
discusses the fallacy of trying to protect people’s privacy in the
Internet Age ») même si d'autres sont très séduisantes (« arguing that
we should instead focus on fostering greater transparency around (and
through) government institutions. » dans la même phrase !).

Amicalement,
d.
