Description:

Does the information on the Web offer many alternative accounts of reality, or does it subtly align with an official version? In Information Politics on the Web, Richard Rogers identifies the cultures, techniques, and devices that rank and recommend information on the Web, analyzing not only the political content of Web sites but the politics built into the Web's infrastructure. Addressing the larger question of what the Web is for, Rogers argues that the Web is still the best arena for unsettling the official and challenging the familiar.

Rogers describes the politics at work on the Web as either back-end -- the politics of search engine technology -- or front-end -- the diversity, inclusivity, and relative prominence of sites publicly accessible on the Web. To analyze this, he developed four "political instruments," or software tools that gather information about the Web by capturing dynamic linking practices, attention cycles for issues, and changing political party commitments. On the basis of his findings on how information politics works, Rogers argues that the Web should be, and can be, a "collision space" for official and unofficial accounts of reality. (One chapter, "The Viagra Files" offers an entertaining analysis of official and unofficial claims for the health benefits of Viagra.) The distinctiveness of the Web as a medium lies partly in the peculiar practices that grant different statuses to information sources. The tools developed by Rogers capture these practices and contribute to the development of a new information politics that takes into account and draws from the competition between the official, the non-governmental, and the underground.

Richard Rogers is Director of govcom.org, an Amsterdam-based foundation dedicated to creating and hosting political tools on the Web, and Assistant Professor in Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

**描述：**
網路上的資訊是否提供了許多現實的替代說法，還是微妙地與官方版本保持一致？在《網路上的資訊政治》中，Richard Rogers 確定了在網路上對資訊進行排名和推薦的文化、技術和設備，分析了網站的政治內容以及內建於網路基礎設施中的政治。針對網路的更大問題，Rogers 主張網路仍然是動搖官方和挑戰熟悉事物的最佳舞台。

Rogers 將網路上的政治描述為後端——搜尋引擎技術的政治——或前端——網站的多樣性、包容性和相對顯著性。他為了分析這一點，開發了四種「政治工具」，或軟體工具，這些工具通過捕捉動態連結實踐、議題的注意循環和變化的政黨承諾來收集有關網路的資訊。根據他對資訊政治運作方式的發現，Rogers 主張網路應該是並且可以成為官方和非官方現實說法的「碰撞空間」。其中一章「威而鋼檔案」提供了對威而鋼健康益處的官方和非官方主張的有趣分析。網路作為媒介的獨特性部分在於那些賦予資訊來源不同地位的特殊實踐。Rogers 開發的工具捕捉這些實踐，並促進了一種新的資訊政治的發展，這種政治考慮並借鑒了官方、非政府和地下之間的競爭。

Richard Rogers 是位於阿姆斯特丹的 govcom.org 基金會的主任，該基金會致力於在網路上創建和托管政治工具，並且是阿姆斯特丹大學媒體研究的助理教授。
