Shaping the Web: Why the Politics of Search Engines Matters (2000, background): “Others, like Mark Poster ( 1995 ) , offer a contrasting view, arguing that the distinctly “post-modern” nature of the Internet, with its capacity to disseminate material rather than centralize it, will discourage the endowment of authority—both academic and political.”
Globalization or denationalization? (2003, background): “(For a variety of angles, see e.g. Rimmer and Morris-Suzuki, 1999; Poster, 1997; Graham and Aurigi, 1997; Henshall, 2000; Miller and Slater, 2000.)”
The search for authenticity (2006, background): “The internet is not, then, simply a tool, but might be better understood as an ‘electronic geography’ (Poster, 1997: 216), a space which overlaps with other territories (online and offline spaces), which allows for the (re)constitution of identity (racial or otherwise).”
Normative and Informational Influences in Online Political Discussions (2006, background): “It has been credited with creating vital spaces for public conversation, opening in a new ‘‘public sphere’’ of the sort envisioned by Habermas (1962/1989), (see, e.g., Papacharissi, 2004; Poor, 2005; Poster, 1997).”
Rethinking the fragmentation of the cyberpublic: from consensus to contestation (2007, background): “However, one would not suggest discarding the public sphere conception altogether, as some internet-democracy theorists have called for on finding limitations with the deployment of particular versions of the public sphere in cyberdiscourse (Dean, 2002; Poster, 1997).”
Second Language Socialization in a Bilingual Chat Room: Global and Local Considerations (2004, background): “From these studies and other related work (Hall, 1996; Jones 1995, 1997; Poster, 1997), we see the emergence of particular forms of linguistic and interactional patterns, genres (jokes, FAQ, narrative disclosure of self, etc.”
Alternative and Activist New Media (2011, neutral): “Other analysts have debated the potentials of the internet and related ICTs for creating “counter- publics” or extending new forms of the public sphere online (Cammaerts & van Audenhove, 2005; Dahlgren, 2005; Downey & Fenton, 2003; Langman, 2005; Poster, 1998).”
Democracy online: civility, politeness, and the democratic potential of online political discussion groups (2004, background): “The unique nature of internet discussion, and its ability to transform the political environment into something reminiscent of, but radically different from, Habermas’s vision of the public sphere is extensively detailed by Poster (1997).”
