Among the most obvious dimensions of this control include the sheets of data streaming through U.S. munitions, the corresponding degree to which the U.S. was able to interrupt opposing communication, and the various ways in which U.S.-based cor- porate media collaborated with the military in creating battlefield spectacle for global consumption. The Web of data enfolding U.S. military logistics enables central execu- tive authority to act on the battlefield with the speed of a video game, and the media cooperated in giving the event a game-like affect for U.S. viewers. Like any game, the invasion of Iraq had its own rules and terminology for would- be participants to learn. Within hours of the commencement of hostilities against Iraq, the public sphere was tagged throughout by a kind of “language of opportunity,” a set of new terms to be learned and circulated by those with a desire to participate in the war game. Adopting the militarized terminology of the spectacular moment (“shock and awe,” “decapitation,” “regime change,” “embeds,” “target of opportunity”) functions as a cheap and nearly effortless way for reporters and citizens to effectively participate in the spectacle itself. The new language is a kind of freemason’s handshake: strangers using the language of the Iraq invasion are able to recognize each other as persons who share the worldview, aims, and values of that invasion. Furthermore, in a feedback loop, just as control over military and commercial infor- mation flow enabled the invasions, the invasions enabled previously unimaginable con- trols over military and commercial information flow, such as the “Patriot” act and such would-be sequels as Poindexter’s “Total Information Awareness” and Ashcroft’s Domestic Security Enhancement initiative (“son of Patriot”). With the assistance of a secret court, the U.S. executive enjoys substantial new freedoms to surveil, wiretap, and monitor the activities of its citizens. Even where a political will to oppose such excesses has surfaced (as in the limitation of data-mining by the government to non-citizens), the government has found it relatively easy to bypass these strictures – for instance, by v vi The Politics of Information: An Introduction making police and intelligence use of data bases prepared for commercial use in direct marketing (which have not traditionally been covered by the same degree of privacy restraints as government data). In the early 1990s, technological optimists represented the World Wide Web as an actual or potential public sphere or, alternatively, as an anarcho-subcultural new fron- tier, a place of self-fashioning where the liberal dream of autonomy and self-determi- nation could be performed and realized. Many on the left additionally hoped, with Manuel Castells and others, that the proliferation of online interaction would foster new solidarities and social movements. To a very real extent, some of this promise has been realized. The worldwide oppo- sition to the invasion of Iraq, for instance, was in part coordinated by Web-mediated communications, and through this hijacking of the former Arpanet for purposes of peace, certain peace groups were able to stage massive demonstrations that compelled even the corporate broadcast media to transmit their message. For many political dissi- dents, Web-delivered independent news accounts of the conflict and the communica- tions of the resistance movement constructed an alternative solidarity to the culture of “supporting our troops.” There were episodes of successful hacktivism, as when a spam campaign coordinated by Spain’s www.noalaguerra.com shut down the website of that country’s pro-war ruling party. Yet much of the hacktivist activity was not anti-war, but a partisan contribution to the conflict, as in the successful shutdown of the website belonging to Arabic television network Al-Jazeera by U.S. hackers who redirected the site’s visitors to a map of the U.S. with the slogan “God Bless Our Troops,” many of the weblogs posted by laptop- toting combatants, or the Al-Qaeda sympathizers who converted a U.S. student’s bul- letin board into a propaganda outlet. In the past decade, the World Wide Web and other virtual locations have become increasingly recognizable as managed and regulated space. It is by now clear that tech- nological utopianism represented a widespread suspension of consciousness regarding the still-accelerating growth of commercial and state ideology, as well as a plethora of direct controls – an explosion of gateway structures, surveillance procedures, copyright protections, trademarks, standardization, advertising, certification processes, and other markers of intellectual property. The mutual intelligibility of commercial and state interests evident in the dizzying proliferation of technocapitalism and cybernetic gov- ernmentality over the past ten years make it clear that if the Web and other online spaces do in fact represent a public sphere, it is a public sphere vigorously traversed by property law and other structures of security, surveillance, command and control—the “informatics of domination” described by Donna Haraway in her 1986 cyborg mani- festo. How can students and citizens respond to this informatics of domination except with an answering informatic practice? The five sections of this collection are devoted to exploring the possibilities of elec- tronically-mediated resistance to a domination itself electronically mediated. In the first Marc Bousquet vii section, “Beyond the Voting Machine,” indie-media icons like DeeDee Halleck of DeepDish TV and Paper Tiger Television, Mark Amerika, Geert Lovink, and poet Charles Bernstein discuss the possibilities for forming oppositional consciousness and alternative solidarities. The next section, “Technocapitalism and the Politics of Information,” features a new interview with Donna Haraway by Lisa Nakamura, reflecting on the reception of the Cyborg Manifesto, essays on the social costs of digi- tal capitalism by Tiziana Terranova, David Golumbia,

  • Artivismo in Rete. Le Beffe Degli Anni Dieci Martina Coletti D’ARS Magazine
    Artivismo in rete. Le beffe degli anni Dieci Martina Coletti D’ARS Magazine Abstract Questo intervento prende le mosse da un articolo uscito sul trimestrale D’ARS nel 2010 dedicato ad alcune operazione artistiche ascrivibili all’ambito del media attivismo di quegli anni in Italia, con par- ticolare riferimento a pratiche, riflessioni critiche e strumenti mutuati dal web e ascrivibili al feno- meno dell’hacktivism e dell’hacking sociale. Il termine “net.art” definisce nel campo dell’arte molti dei lavori trattati. Tra le dinamiche più ricorrenti si ritrova il détournement, l’irriverenza del gesto dada che si insinua negli ingranaggi delle macchine del potere per ridimensionarne la portata e dare spazio all’immaginazione. Il testo ricostruisce il periodo partendo dai netartisti 0100101110101101.org e dalla vicenda del Conflitto di Tirana; più specificatamente sul terreno dell’artivismo si ripercorrono alcune delle operazioni condotte da Les Liens Invisible, mentre con AOS – Art Is Open Source si apre il versante della riappropriazione di linguaggi e strumenti. This contribution is based on an article published in 2010 by D’ARS magazine about media activism art performances going on in Italy in those years, which referred to experiences, critical debate and tools around the web, and relating to hacktivism and social hacking. The expression "net.art" applies to many of the works dealt with. Among the most frequent practices, we have détournement, the irreverent dadaist gesture against the establishment apparatus, which aims to downsize its power and give way to imagination. The contribution retraces those experiences starting from netartists 0100101110101101.org and the Conflitto di Tirana performance.

IRB protocol # ____________________ ii Daly, Meaghan Elizabeth (Ph.D., Environmental Studies) Co-production and the Politics of Usable Knowledge for Climate Adaptation in Tanzania Thesis directed by Dr. Lisa Dilling and Dr. Mara Goldman ABSTRACT The concept of ‘co-production’ is increasingly offered as an approach to enable more responsive and inclusive processes of knowledge production across a range of disciplines. While it is recognized that uneven power relations play a significant role in shaping co-production processes, how these dynamics affect, and are affected by, intentional efforts to ‘co-produce’ usable knowledge is not well understood. In this dissertation, I examine the multiple ways in which power is exercised within efforts to ‘co-produce knowledge’ for climate adaptation decision-making in Tanzania, and with what effect. I do so through a multi-scalar mixed methods case study.

    Exploring the European youth mosaic The social situation of young people in Europe Lynne Chisholm Siyka Kovacheva 2 My Life I would like my life to be something more than a simple race, I would like my life to be not only full of summit and disgrace.
