This book is the first to consider how practices contained within social media are situated within a larger genealogy of public space, including theories of communal identity, civitas and democracy, the fete, and self-expression. Through empirical research, the actual social practices of participants of networked publics are described and analyzed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDocumenting how online counterpublics use the Internet to transmit classified photos, mobilize activists, and challenge the status quo, Tierney argues that online activities do not stop in online conversations; they are physically grounded through mobile GPS coordinates which are then transformed into activities in physical space--the street, the plaza, the places where people have traditionally gathered to demonstrate and express their opinions publicly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Therese Tierney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415635233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415635233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Therese Tierney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136107589887,"sku":"9780415635233","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b719c194-5f35-4b58-ac28-e8b4633ac038.jpg?v=1770160560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-public-space-of-social-therese-tierney-9780415635233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
