[ANPPOM-L] MUTEbeta: culture and politics after the web

[carlos palombini]

"Rather than functioning as instruments to an authoritarian agenda of 
'social inclusion' (or, in Europe's less conspicuously Blairite realms, 
the maintenance of an elite critical culture), at this juncture it seems 
imperative for us intermediaries to invite structural redefinition 
through public participation."

Mute is an online magazine dedicated to exploring culture and politics 
after the net. Mute combines quarterly issues dedicated to specific 
topics (Precarious Labour, The Knowledge Commons, etc) with regularly 
updated articles and reviews. The site also features ongoing coverage of 
relevant news and events contributed by ourselves and our readers.

As well as the online magazine, Mute also publishes a quarterly book 
(aka Mute Vol. 2) which features selections from current issues together 
with other online content, specially commissioned and co-published 
projects, and relevant historical material.
 
Finally, Mute is also an online multi-media resource, with a Public 
Library where readers can contribute reviews as well as upload media 
files which flesh out and diversify media history and other of Mute's 
perennial concerns.
