The Immanent Internet

Barry Wellman, Bernie Hogan · 2004 · Netting Citizens (St Andrew's Press)

[PLACEHOLDER: Annotation on the concept of the immanent internet - always present and embedded in daily life.]

Appears in themes

Argues that the internet has become "immanent," woven into everyday life rather than constituting a separate sphere, and that this fundamentally changes the nature of citizenship and social participation. The concept of immanence reframes how we study the internet: not as a technology with effects, but as an infrastructure through which social life is increasingly constituted.
