DESCRIPTION: Please register  here    About the Conference   The spread of 
 digital technologies has contributed to a multi-faceted change of democrati
 c orders\, actors\, and practices. At the intersection of long-term evoluti
 on of democracies and the emergence of social media\, we observe a profound
  redistribution of communication and political power. Traditional mass medi
 a are losing their privileged position as gatekeepers of the public sphere\
 ; social media are establishing new norms of social relevance and simultane
 ously give voice to ideas\, opinions\, and actors\, which used to be margin
 alized.   This development seems full of ambivalences. Thus\, the changing 
 conditions of communication have spawned a situation of democracy in perman
 ent flux. The debate on how digital technologies have changed public sphere
 s and impacted democracy has been scattered across different scientific dis
 ciplines\, political arenas\, and civil society. The 2020/2021 Annual Weize
 nbaum Conference “Democracy in Flux – Order\, Dynamics and Voices in Digita
 l Public Spheres” aims to bring together these various perspectives and see
 ks to initiate an interdisciplinary exchange on the linkages between digita
 l public spheres and democracy.   About the Weizenbaum Institute   The Weiz
 enbaum Institute for the Networked Society – The German Internet Institute 
 is a collaborative project from Berlin and Brandenburg funded by the Federa
 l Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Coordinator of the consortium 
 is the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB). The aim is to better understand 
 the dynamics\, mechanisms and implications of digitalisation.    To this en
 d\, the Weizenbaum Institute investigates the ethical\, legal\, economic an
 d political aspects of digital change. This creates an empirical basis for 
 responsible digitalisation. On the basis of the research findings\, action 
 options are developed for government\, the economy and civil society\, in o
 rder to shape the digital transformation in a responsible interdisciplinary
  manner.    More information here
