Session
The workshop will focus on the impact of digital technologies on society in terms of the transition from a literate to a post-literate mindset introduced by Jacek Dukaj in "After Writing". The discussion will explore how this profound shift affects collaboration and knowledge co-creation. An immersion into Dukaj's vision will serve to understand the fast-changing conditions of collaborative knowledge production. Furthermore, during the workshop, we will attempt to identify crucial signals of changes in the context of knowledge co-creation. Together with participants, we will outline futures of Wikipedians’ open collaboration within possible post-literate conditions.
