Révolution numérique, revolutions démocratiques
Digital Revolution, Democratic Revolutions

Comme les deux précédentes révolutions industrielles, la révolution numérique modifie radicalement l'espace public: il est devenu sans frontières et il s'est ouvert aux individus. Ce bouleversement technologique offre d'immenses opportunités démocratiques qui affrontent les pouvoirs étatiques et les puissances économiques. A partir de l'expérience française de Mediapart, journal numérique, indépendant et participatif, une réflexion sur les enjeux politiques d'Internet.

Like the previous two industrial revolutions, the digital revolution has radically changed public space: it has become borderless and open to all individuals. This technological revolution offers huge democratic opportunities that confront state authorities and economic powers. The event will use the French experience of Mediapart—a digital newspaper, both independent and participatory—to reflect upon the political Internet.
