Abstract
Societal platforming dominates individual actions and connections, selfgenerated contents and social relations circulate like products, commodities. Manipulation is its distinctive trait because it is power over the web and interpersonal networks which is at stake. We are witnessing the proliferation of messages not as autonomous meaning constructions but as the result of a “cloning” process in which disinformation is both fed and fed on at the same time. Questioning where autonomous meaning production can come to fruition, if it is less frequent, as an effect of the speed with which flows are propagated and the stage of thinking underlying knowledge building and supporting social action would thus all seem to be of interest.Pubblicazioni consigliate
