I will consider those forms that may stimulate and guide such resistant reading, including what I call the poetics of juxtaposition and confrontation, but also effects of persistence, continuation, and endurance, effects that are reinforced and enhanced through the operation of various diachronic techniques. I will demonstrate these ideas through readings of poetry by Serote and Putuma and short stories by divers hands. Tabish Khair, Aarhus University, Denmark Fictions, Facts and Post-Truth The talk will look at ‘post-truth’ as a consequence of traditional concepts of fixed truths and the contemporary failure to distinguish between relativism and contextualisation. It will then discuss the impact of digitalisation on culture and politics, leading to a precarious scenario where people can talk of a ‘post-truth’ age. Finally, it will argue that an engagement with literature, along with a contentious definition of it, is essential to any bid to find a way out.

  • Fighting Police Bribery Through Online Collective Action
    Tweeting against corruption: Fighting police bribery through online collective action Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Social Science (Digital Media and Society), Master Thesis 15 ECTS Zachary Alfred 890731-6478 Advisor: PG Holmlöv Department of Informatics and Media 2 Abstract Efforts to utilise Twitter to improve communication in Kenya between officials at the Kenya Police and Ministry of Interior, and Kenyan citizens, are researched specifically addressing efforts to use Twitter to report and combat police corruption. The goal is to assess efforts to use the social networking platform to improve communication channels between officials and citizens, through a mixed methods approach incorporating a content analysis of thousands of tweets sent by four separate government Twitter accounts, as well as interviews with Kenyans who have interacted with the accounts on Twitter. In addition, I assess the potential value of Twitter as a corruption-reporting platform. The research builds on existing ICT4D research, Castells’ communication power theory, as well as collective-action approaches to fighting corruption. The results of the research reveal potential problems of incident-focused social media-based corruption reporting in developing collective-action networks focused on fighting police bribery and broader government corruption. The tendency of social-media interactions to be dominated by relatively meaningless discussions limits Twitter’s value as a useful channel for two-way communication between citizens and officials. Social media-based anti-corruption efforts dedicated to building collective-action networks focused on long-term solutions, rather than highlighting individual incidents, may be more effective in fighting corruption. Keywords: Bribery, collective action, corruption, Twitter, Web 2.0, new media, Kenya, police NOTE: This material is financed in part by Spider.
