Abstract
The Politics of Becoming: Anonymity and Democracy in the Digital Age advances democratic theory by exploring how digital spaces enable identity exploration and self-transformation. Asenbaum views these spaces as democratic assemblages where identity is fluid and participatory, emphasizing the role of anonymity in providing ‘freedom to change’ and enhancing the politics of presence both online and offline. This paper critiques two key aspects of his argument: the limitations of deliberative democracy in promoting self-transformation and the role of positive and negative liberty in understanding anonymity.
