商品描述

This open access book asks how the retreat of local journalism and the advance of social media platforms reshapes democracy at the grassroots level. It presents a unique ethnographic exploration of two distinct communities--Frederiksberg in Denmark and Ringwood in England--and introduces the concept of "casual democracy" as a provocative new way to think about the fluid, informal, and often unpredictable nature of local public spheres increasingly dominated by platforms like Facebook. Through immersive fieldwork and insightful analysis, the book examines how these communities navigate the ethical, epistemic and democratic norms of deliberation. At its heart, this book grapples with the vital consequences for democratic participation and deliberation when platforms redefine the public realm. Blending rigorous scholarship with engaging narrative storytelling, Casual Democracy is essential reading not just for academics, but for anyone concerned with the future of local democracy and the health of public discourse in the digital age.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開放存取的書籍探討了當地新聞的退縮與社交媒體平台的興起如何重塑基層民主。它對兩個不同社區——丹麥的弗雷德里克斯貝格（Frederiksberg）和英國的林伍德（Ringwood）——進行了獨特的民族誌探索，並引入了「隨意民主」（casual democracy）這一概念，作為一種挑釁性的全新思考方式，來理解日益被像 Facebook 這樣的平台主導的地方公共領域的流動性、非正式性和常常不可預測的特性。通過沉浸式的田野調查和深刻的分析，這本書檢視了這些社區如何在審議的倫理、認識論和民主規範中進行導航。這本書的核心在於探討當平台重新定義公共領域時，對民主參與和審議所帶來的重要後果。《隨意民主》將嚴謹的學術研究與引人入勝的敘事故事相結合，不僅是學者的必讀之作，也是任何關心地方民主未來和數位時代公共話語健康的人士的重要讀物。
