Our societies’ culture is based on the production of standards (What does it mean to "eat right"? Or how much radiation exposure is safe?), established by experts. With new technologies, including wikis, citizens have begun to take part in producing this knowledge, once the sole province of experts. WikiST is a discussion forum about the emerging tensions in this new scenario.
Organizer: Fundación Madri+d (Consejería de Educación de la Comunidad de Madrid). Coordinators: Adolfo Estalella and Antonio Lafuente.
