Tis will be my final post on "The public, the media and politics: intellectual debate and science in the age of digital communication" for more info follow the #MOEP hashtag in Twitter (German/English). After lunch I'll be participating in the final point of the program, a panel discussion, so I obviously won't be able to blog from the panel

Rainer Winter said he would talk about the connection between street protests and the internet in a transnational society. To be honest, I didn't really understand much of what he was reading from his script. From what I could tell, it seemed like some sort of mish-mash (remix?) of obvious, well-known statements with postmodern references to (to me!) unknown authors and socio-political verbiage. I'd probably need a quiet day to read his script and maybe then I might get half of it, or less.
