Abstract
The ten year anniversary of the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) is a suitable opportunity to reconsider how the Web is reweaving culture, economy, and society in today’s global/national/local communities through global computer networks. These critical reflections are important if we are to grasp completely how today’s wired and wireless reticulations of discursive power and knowledge express their effects at a local, national, or global level in digitally-mediated social relations. Plainly, no study of today’s economy and society can ignore how individuals engage in collective activities via digital discourses and online cultures. This discussion reconsiders some of the initial steps that brought about these modes of production, organization, and communication.
