Political evolution Social Media in the Mideast

Die diesjährige re:publica hat ohne Zweifel einen großen Schwehrpunkt auf politischen Themen. Aber während sich mit die meisten bisherigen Beiträge – seien wir ehrlich – mit recht akademischem Expertenwissen und Themen wie Identitätsmanagement, mobilem Microblogging oder der Kulturflatrate beschäftigen bringt Esra’a Al Shafei in ihrem Vortrag Political evolution: Social Media in the Mideas die echt dringenden Themen auf den Tisch: Meinungsfreiheit, Menschenrechte, Emanzipation.
