Manifesting the Digital: Manifesto as a Form and Format for Voices of Internet Shapers Between 1980 and 2020
Work that is done by various digital technologies is ultimately complex and therefore asks for active interpretation. The meaning-making often comes in the form of particular metaphors, rhetorical repertoire or adaptation of known literary forms, including manifestos, such as A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996), A blogger’s manifesto: free speech and censorship in the age of the Internet (2007), The #TwitterEthics Manifesto (2014) and others. The aim of this research is to address a selection of internationally-known manifestos for which the digital technologies are the matter of concern. The project emphasizes the questions of an interplay between this literary form and digital formats, manifestos’ approach to globality of the internet, and the range of political standpoints and their repertoire, to provide a multifaceted analysis of texts that aim to shape present and future of the digital technologies in society.
