The Anxiety of Influence: Wikipedia and Law
This seminar presents empirical data that explores how Wikipedia’s editors reject the law while replicating law-like structures for the governance of their network. However, they reflexively talk about and use these structures in ways that do not allow “law” to interfere with their larger collective project. Additionally, on closer examination and in practice, the law they are trying to avoid often works – and is talked about – in ways that are very similar to their own law-like structures.
