An overview of visualization of so- cial networks was prepared by Lin Freeman(1,2). The Ars Electronica 2004 in Linz, Austria gave special attention to networks by the exhibition Lan- Moreno guage of Networks (1,2,3,4).

  • September 11 Attacks
    Chapter 1 September 11 Attacks We’re a nation that is adjusting to a new type of war. This isn’t a conventional war that we’re waging. Ours is a campaign that will have to reflect the new enemy…. The new war is not only against the evildoers themselves; the new war is against those who harbor them and finance them and feed them…. We will need patience and determination in order to succeed. — President George W. Bush (September 11, 2001) Our company around the world will continue to operate in this sometimes violent world in which we live, offering products that reach to the higher and more positive side of the human equation. — Disney CEO Michael Eisner (September 11, 2001) He risked his life to stop a tyrant, then gave his life trying to help build a better Libya. The world needs more Chris Stevenses. — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (September 12, 2012) We cannot have a society in which some dictators someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States because if somebody is able to intimidate us out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they start doing once they see a documentary that they don’t like or news reports that they don’t like. That’s not who we are. That’s not what America is about. — President Barack Obama (December 19, 2014) 1.1 September 11, 2001 I was waking up in the sunny California morning on September 11, 2001. Instead of music playing on my radio alarm clock, I was hearing fragments of news broadcast about airplanes crashing into the Pentagon and the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

  • Transparent World Minoritarian Tactics in the Age of Transparency
    Interface Criticism | out: Culture and Politics Transparent World Minoritarian Tactics in the Age of Transparency by inke arns Giedion, Mendelsohn, Corbusier turned the abiding places of man into a transit area for every conceivable kind of energy and for electric currents and radio waves. The time that is coming will be dominated by transparency (Benjamin, “The Return of the Flâneur”). The coils of a serpent are even more complex than the burrows of a molehill (Deleuze). During the Cold War, the unimaginable usually came in the guise of a threat from outer space (which in western science-fiction was not infrequently a code word for communism), whereas today the unimaginable has moved almost indecently close to us. It is in our immediate proximity, on and in our own bodies. The production of unimaginably small nanomachines equipped with all kinds of capa- bilities is not the sole evidence of this development, as the transfor- mation of matter itself has become an ‘immaterial.’ The notion of ‘immaterials’ was coined by Jean-François Lyotard in 1985 with his ex- hibition “Les Immatériaux” at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. ‘Imma- terial’ in his sense is not the equivalent of ‘immaterial’ (= opposite of 253 matter), but denotes new extensions of material that exclude the pos- sibility of direct human access: The good old matter itself comes to us in the end as some- thing which has been dissolved and reconstructed into complex formulas. Reality consists of elements, organised by structural rules (matrixes) in no longer human measures of space and time.1 At first glance, these immaterials are indistinguishable from the materials we know of old.

(U) The goals in of the Command and Control Information Systems project are to develop and test innovative, secure architectures and tools to enhance information processing, dissemination and presentation capabilities for the commander. This will give the commander insight into the disposition of enemy and friendly forces, a joint situational awareness picture that will improve planning, decision-making and execution support capability, and provide secure multimedia information interfaces and assured software to “on the move users”. Integration of collection management, planning and battlefield awareness programs is an essential element for achieving battlefield dominance through assured information systems. The project will also focus on information techniques to counter terrorism.

  • Breaking Down the State
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS 55 PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Duyvendak (eds) & Jasper Breaking Down the State: Protestors Engaged continues the new effort to analyze politics as the interplay of various players within structured arenas that its companion volume, Players and Arenas: The Interactive Dynamics of Protest, started. It breaks down the state into the players that really matter, and which really make decisions and pursue coherent strategies, moving beyond the tendency to lump various agencies together as ‘the state’. Breaking Down the State brings together world-famous experts on the interactions between political protestors and the many parts of the state, including courts, political parties, legislators, police, armies, and intelligence services. Jan Willem Duyvendak is a sociologist at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper is a sociologist at the CUNY Graduate Center, New York. They both have written a number of books on recent social movements, and are the co-editors of AUP’s book series Protest and Social Movements.

Now in its sixth edition, the Lexicon features new terms that further chronicle the federal narrative of information and its relationship to national security, intelligence operations, freedom of information, privacy, technology, and surveillance, as well as types of war, institutionalized secrecy, and censorship. This edition also lists information terms of note that arise from popular culture, the scholarly literature, and I find interesting to federal information policy and the study of information. This edition of the Lexicon emphasizes the historical aspects of U.S. information policy and associated programs in that it is a testament to the information politics of specific presidential administrations, of particular the Bush-Cheney and Obama years; there is also a look back to historical agency record keeping practices such as the U.S. Army’s computerized personalities database, discovered in a 1972 congressional

  • Cosmos, Chaos: Finance, Power and Conflict
    Cosmos, chaos: finance, power and conflict HAROLD JAMES A spectre is haunting the world: 1914. The approaching centenary of the outbreak of the First World War is a reminder of how the instability produced by changes in the relative balance of power in an integrated or globalized world may produce cataclysmic events. Jean-Claude Juncker, the veteran Prime Minister of Luxem- bourg and chair of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, started 2013 by warning journalists that they should take note of the parallels with 1913, the last year of European peace.1 He was referring explicitly to new national animosities fanned by the European economic crisis, with a growing polarization between North and South. Historically, the aftermath and the consequences of such cataclysms have been extreme. George Kennan strikingly termed the 1914–18 conflict the‘ great seminal catastrophe of this century’.2 Without it, fascism, communism, the Great Depression and the Second World War are all almost impossible to imagine. What are the lessons of 1914? The outbreak of war was not just an accident. International political and economic order depends on systems of rules. The essence of rules is that they should be universally valid and universally applicable. But in practice, the efficacy of rules depends on their enforcement. If the capacity to enforce is reduced as a consequence of an alteration in the broad geopolitical balance, the question of the design of rules becomes controversial. This article explores how a rules-based international system can be destabilized. It makes three fundamental claims: first, that rules-based international orders are strained by transitions in power, even if all parties see the desirability of and need for a common system of rules; second, that the vulnerability increases with the degree of complexity of the rules; and third, that the moments of transition are accom- panied by a heightened attention to the possibility of covert action to abuse the complexity of the rules-based system to the advantage of one particular power.
