Illustrating the 4 Research Perspectives

!Coordinating the Circulation of Cultural Goods (the regulatory Field formerly known as Coypright)

Governance I: Regulation + Private Ordering

!28

Lead Questions: Which Actors establish which Rules with what kind of Scope? How is Compliance monitored and Deviation sanctioned? How are Rules interpreted and adapted? !Empirical Account: Establishment, Materialisation and Adaption of Rules !Examples: Copyight (International Contracts, national Agreements), ToS of Digital Services and Online Platforms, Google Books

Governance II: (informal) Norms and Practices

!29

Lead Questions: With which normative expectations are actors confronted, which ones are internalized? How are these norms establish and negotiated? !Empirical Account: Beobachtung und Befragung von Communities !Examples: Sharing Practises on Platforms (Tumblr), Darknet File-Sharing, from low IP Regimes to complex Digital Media?

Governance II: (informal) Norms and Practices

!29

Lead Questions: With which normative expectations are actors confronted, which ones are internalized? How are these norms establish and negotiated? !Empirical Account: Beobachtung und Befragung von Communities !Examples: Sharing Practises on Platforms (Tumblr), Darknet File-Sharing, from low IP Regimes to complex Digital Media?

Governance II: (informal) Norms and Practices

How are these norms establish and negotiated? !Empirical Account: Beobachtung und Befragung von Communities !Examples: Sharing Practises on Platforms (Tumblr), Darknet File-Sharing, from low IP Regimes to complex Digital Media?

Governance III: Discourses and Framings

!30

Lead Questions: What is „taken for granted“? Construction and Deconstruction of shared Frames and Perspectives?

!Empirical Accounts: Discourse Analyses, Politisation, Issue Formation, Frames

!Examples: Conflicts on „Intellectual Property“ Haunss); the construction of „music piracy“(Denegri-Knott); Imitation und Innovation in der Games-Branche

Governance IV: Governance and Technology

!31

Lead Questions: In which way are Rules inscribed into Technologie? How do Algorithms structure and regulate our Communication Routines?

!Empirical Accounts: Ethnograhies of Tinkering, Digital Methods, User Interactions

!Examples: DRM in the Music and Publishing Industry; YouTube’ Upload-Filtering Google Search, Facebook Newsstream

Conclusion: Internet Governance as Coordination

!32

!!Rule-Making is not only about Steering !Rule-Making that does not only happen in Policy Organization !Complexity and Disarray of regulatory sources, sites and process !From Governance as Regulation to Governance as Coordination !» Internet Governance and Everyday Life
