abstract |
This entry describes the socio-technical specificity of wikis and their application
in domains of culture, knowledge and learning. It begins by locating the wiki in the
history of technological visions for collective cognition and continues by examining
the material and social properties of wikis through a series of concepts: collective
intelligence and crowdsourcing, openness and open collaboration. It examines some
key tensions surrounding the properties of participation within open collaborative
systems pointing to empirical research within media and communications, education
as well as computer and information sciences. In doing so, it situates the ways in
which wiki phenomena have been used to define ideological movements and fields of
socio-economic activity in domains of science, culture and politics. |
