PECULIARITIES OF CYBERSPACE: VIRTUAL COMMUNITY - Networks of the future - Albert Benschop translation: Connie Menting The analysis of virtual networks and communities have presented sociologists with considerable problems. An attempt is made below to make a start with this revision. In recent years many studies of virtual communities have been carried out. The research-agendas of cybersociologists, however, are still full of tricky open questions: Do people become more isolated from the local communities around them when they participate in virtual communities? The notion of virtual community is not to be dismissed as a technological, cyberpunk fantasy in which people increasingly live in "second-hand worlds" (Mills 1959); chained to their computer terminals, experiencing life through dehumanizing technology rather than through human contact and intimacy. This definition lacks a spatial dimension. How strong is the bond within virtual communities? Network theories you will find in all sorts and measures. Source: Benschop [1993:79]

Filmtipp ǀ "Die dunkle Seite der Wikipedia" Filmtipp Wikipedia ist an sich eine tolle Sache. Markus Fiedler stellte jedoch auch vermachtet-autoritäre, intransparente Strukturen sowie Parteilichkeit fest Die meisten von uns dürften das Online-Lexikon Wikipedia des Öfteren benutzen. Das umfangreiche Nachschlagewerk ist ja an und für sich eine schöne Sache. Dem Filmemacher Markus Fiedler – Biologielehrer von Beruf – hat sich akribisch mit Wikipedia befaßt. Der „Fall“ Dr. Markus Fiedlers Dokumentarfilm „Die dunkle Seite der Wikipedia“ arbeitet sich besonders am „Fall“ des Wikipedia-Artikels über den Schweizer Historiker und Friedensforschers Dr. Fiedler machte mit Wikipedia eine ungute Erfahrung. Wikipedia keineswegs seriös und überparteilich Mittels seiner umfangreichen Recherchen kam Markus Fiedler zu dem Schluss, dass Wikipedia keineswegs durchgängig seriös und überparteilich ist. Wikipedia hat also eine „dunkle Seite“. Den Versuch dies aufzuklären macht der Film „Die dunkel Seite der Wikipedia“.
