Histories of media(ted) participation: An introduction

Summary/Abstract: The attention spent on the notion of participation has oscillated over time and within different academic disciplines and societal fields. For instance, in democratic theory, where the notion of participation points to the citizens’ inclusion in the dynamics of decision-making, it has maintained a presence over time, throughout the history of more than 200 years of democratic revolution (Mouffe, 2000), where political processes have been geared towards more participation and equality, despite many setbacks and concerns which were also discursified, this time as a lack of participation (or a “democratic deficit”).
