Hill Collins :

"Sociologists, for example, can no longer imagine the sociological community as a small group of faculty from elite American, French, German, or British institutions who speak for everyone. This style of imagining a sociological community by placing an elite group at the center of power is becoming increasingly fractured within the new global context. New communications technologies enable individuals in the margins to speak directly with one another. With little need to consult the center on issues of what constitutes bona fide sociology, the entire sociological enterprise is changed. Sociology now extends across regional and national borders and through various organizations that knit together people in an imagined interpretive community that is simultaneously local, global, multicultural, and aspirational. These mediated sociological communities create new possibilities for the practice of sociology in multiple social locations. New communications technologies enable sociologists to craft entirely new mediated communities that build on, transcend, and challenge existing sociological power configurations."
