*Web 2.0: Places of perception of the transformations of societies*
Coordination: Léda Mansour, University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France

This issue hosts special case studies on the web, analyzing and 
describing unusual and new phenomena in order to grasp the 
transformations of societies. The choice of the web as a place for the 
perception of transformations is strongly linked to its capacity to 
represent a field of research filled with pluralistic, diverse and 
sometimes opposing sources in sociological terms.

Indeed, the literature in information and communication sciences and in 
the sociology of digital uses has highlighted one of the novelties of 
the Internet and subsequently of the interactive web: the creation of a 
space of expression belonging to all different voices without any 
restriction, hence creating an effect of democracy (Cardon D., 2010).

If previously, the emphasis on the web was on co-presence, of supposedly 
different practices and discourses (institutional vs. non-institutional 
discourse, official and legitimate speech vs. unrecognized public 
speech), we can now shift our attention to a dilution of these 
distinctions, and cease looking at what is called "public opinion 
online" or "popular online culture", in addition to "online public 
space", but rather on the encompassing - though general - name of 
"digital cultures" (Rinck F. & Mansour L. 2013 & Mansour L. 2016). Thus, 
this issue focuses on words and uses in the web, starting from the 
absence of any leveling or, at the very least, the Goffmanian idea of 
bringing together supposedly different universes and discourses, the web 
being the space for collective discussions in particular - whether 
popular, elite, public, private, visible or not, distributed and / or 
fragmented (Goffman E., 1974 & 1963).

The numerous digital experiences of Internet users, such as the creation 
of an interactive blog, the use of social networks or the creation of a 
collective work, allow us to think of the web as a single social tissue 
including a plurality and not the other way around, that is, the 
leveling and difference that would be the pillars of the web. For this 
reason, we are interested in this issue in experiences and special cases 
on the web.

Our interest in particular cases goes hand in hand with a preference for 
rare, unusual and new phenomena. The study of singular cases makes it 
possible to perceive and analyze the micro-transformations of societies 
(Ginzburg C., 1976 & 1989).

Micro-transformations can account for the continuous movement of change, 
avoiding thinking spatially in "stops", "moments", "stages", "events" or 
in a series of events often analyzed in terms of their regularity or of 
their causality (such events, such cases produce a particular type of 
change where everything seems already given, foreseen). We encourage 
studies that identify and describe new and exceptional uses, words and 
perspectives on standards, frequencies, and the usual (Bergson H., 1938 
& 1941).

These transformations operate in societies. Thus, the notion of 
"context" reflects the choice of society studied, without 
contextualization encroaching on the analysis itself - the description 
of the context of a particular society could, sometimes and unfavorably, 
bring to relativist interpretations.

In the web, the places of the perceived micro-transformations of this or 
that society are varied and infinite:

·analysis of one or more Facebook pages,

·analysis of a single hashtag, many hashtags in a particular setting,

·the naming of one or more hypertext links in a specific context,

·study of one or more Stories on Snapchat and elsewhere,

·study of a collective creation on Fanfiction and elsewhere,

·analysis of chat room,

·analysis of one or more dating sites,

·study of micro phenomena inside a site or blogs of any type,

·study of the rubrics in a site, comments and / or recommendations in 
specific sites,

·study of specific practices in Twitter or any other site, blog, social 
network and forum of discussion and creation

Themes are freely varied; all approaches in the Humanities and Social 
Sciences are welcome.
