> Critical Facebook Research Asks for Crowdfunding
>
> about a year ago we published an anthology called 'Generation Facebook'.
> It contains ground-breaking theoretical papers and essays by leading
> international scholars such as Saskia Sassen, Geert Lovink and Mark
> Andrejevic. It is used widely in university teaching, received critical
> acclaim by the press and is deemed invaluable by media activists. So
> what's the catch? Right now, the book is only available in German.
>
> We think that this outstanding collection deserves an international
> audience. We also think that the contributions should be freely
> available in an Open Access format. Since we don’t have the means to
> make this happen all by ourselves, we decided to ask you (a.k.a “the
> crowd”) for support to:
>
> a) cover the production costs for an Open Access version that is
> freely available right from the beginning.
>
> b) finance translations of texts that originally were contributed in
> German.
>
> If you think this is a project that is worth your attention (and maybe
> even your money), please take a look at our funding website:

> You can find more information about the German version on our German
> publisher’s website:
