Guy T. Hoskins chronicles the Marco Civil's development and its failure to confront the greatest concentration of power in the digital age: informational capitalism. Combining interviews with discourse and political-economic analysis, Hoskins reveals why the legislation fell short while examining the implications of its emergence in Brazil, which remains on the margins of the global system of informational capitalism. Hoskins places collectivist and public service principles at the core of any framework's effectiveness. He also shows why we must create systems sensitive to the sociocultural and political-economic contexts that will shape digital rights and their usefulness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompelling and contrarian, \u003ci\u003eDigital Rights at the Periphery\u003c\/i\u003e looks at communications policy and internet governance in the Global South and the lessons they provide for the rest of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction: Making the Marco Civil \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Understanding Informational Capitalism: Logics, Dynamics, Zones, and Discourses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Circumscription: The Discursive Delimitation of Digital Rights \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Contestation: Power Plays and Debate Pollution \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cataclysm: Surveillance, Sovereignty, and Snowden at the Periphery \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Legacy: The Fragile Contingency of Digital Rights \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e Conclusion \u003cp\u003e Appendix \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Notes \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e References \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Index \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523558994200,"sku":"9780252088773","price":20.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/digital-rights-at-the-periphery-making-brazils-marco-civil-paperback-softback-9780252088773","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
