Abstract
A dialectical approach aims at describing the digital spaces of civic communication that become constituted in online commenting at the interrelation between commenting interfaces and commenting practices. The different levels of analysis therefore need to be situated both on the technology and agency side of online commenting. The proposed methods to analyse the socio-technical constitution of online commenting and the forms of civic online communication that accompany it are twofold: they consist of an interface analysis as well as an interaction analysis.
