ABSTRACT
How can we form discursive and action-based networks between the local and the global and between place-based practices and virtual practices? In collaborating to write and work together to co-compose (with several others online) and design electronic spaces/networks for dialogue and action, we encounter numerous issues relating to the (im)possibilities for building discursive and material networks that “would be most conducive to [a redefinition and reconstruction] from the perspective of the multiple cultural, ecological and social practices embedded in local models and places” (Harcourt, 1999, p. 44). What is the relationship between the building of online networks for communication and communities of production within everyday contexts? The relationship between the global and the local, the analogue and the digital is of central importance to our ongoing dialogue.
