Lance Bennett & Alexandra Segerberg THE LOGIC OF CONNECTIVE ACTION Digital media and the personalization of contentious politics From the Arab Spring and los indignados in Spain, to Occupy Wall Street (and beyond), large-scale, sustained protests are using digital media in ways that go beyond sending and receiving messages. Some of these action formations contain rela- tively small roles for formal brick and mortar organizations. Others involve well-estab- lished advocacy organizations, in hybrid relations with other organizations, using technologies that enable personalized public engagement. Both stand in contrast to the more familiar organizationally managed and brokered action conventionally associated with social movement and issue advocacy. This article examines the organ- izational dynamics that emerge when communication becomes a prominent part of organizational structure. It argues that understanding such variations in large-scale action networks requires distinguishing between at least two logics that may be in play: The familiar logic of collective action associated with high levels of organiz- ational resources and the formation of collective identities, and the less familiar logic of connective action based on personalized content sharing across media networks. In the former, introducing digital media do not change the core dynamics of the action. In the case of the latter, they do. Building on these distinctions, the article presents three ideal types of large-scale action networks that are becoming prominent in the contentious politics of the contemporary era. Keywords collective action; contentious politics; digital media Downloaded by [UVA Universiteitsbibliotheek SZ] at 03:47 06 June 2016 (Received 14 November 2011; final version received 22 February 2012) With the world economy in crisis, the heads of the 20 leading economies held a series of meetings beginning in fall of 2008 to coordinate financial rescue policies. Wherever the G20 leaders met, whether in Washington, London, St. Andrews, Pittsburgh, Toronto, or Seoul, they were greeted by protests. In London, Information, Communication & Society Vol. 15, No. 5, June 2012, pp. 739–768 ISSN 1369-118X print/ISSN 1468-4462 online # 2012 Taylor & Francis http://www.tandfonline.com http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1369118X.2012.670661 740 INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION & SOCIETY anti-capitalist, environmental direct activist, and non-governmental organization (NGO)-sponsored actions were coordinated across different days. The largest of these demonstrations was sponsored by a number of prominent NGOs including Oxfam, Friends of the Earth, Save the Children, and World Vision. This loose coalition launched a Put People First (PPF) campaign promoting public mobilization against social and environmental harms of ‘business as usual’ solutions to the financial crisis. The website for the campaign carried the simple statement: Even before the banking collapse, the world suffered poverty, inequality and the threat of climate chaos. The world has followed a financial model that has created an economy fuelled by ever-increasing debt, both financial and environmental. Our future depends on creating an economy based on fair distribution of wealth, decent jobs for all and a low carbon future. (Put People First 2009) The centerpiece of this PPF campaign was a march of some 35,000 people through the streets of London a few days ahead of the G20 meeting to give voice and show commitment to the campaign’s simple theme. The London PPF protest drew together a large and diverse protest with the emphasis on personal expression, but it still displayed what Tilly (2004, 2006) termed WUNC: worthiness embodied by the endorsements by some 160 promi- nent civil society organizations and recognition of their demands by various pro- minent officials; unity reflected in the orderliness of the event; numbers of participants that made PPF the largest of a series of London G20 protests and the largest demonstration during the string of G20 meetings in different world locations; and commitment reflected in the presence of delegations from some 20 different nations who joined local citizens in spending much of the day listening to speakers in Hyde Park or attending religious services sponsored by church-based development organizations.1 The large volume of generally positive press coverage reflected all of these characteristics, and responses from heads of state to the demonstrators accentuated the worthiness of the event (Bennett & Segerberg 2011).2 Downloaded by [UVA Universiteitsbibliotheek SZ] at 03:47 06 June 2016 The protests continued as the G20 in 2010 issued a policy statement making it clear that debt reduction and austerity would be the centerpieces of a political program that could send shocks through economies from the United States and the UK, to Greece, Italy, and Spain, while pushing more decisive action on climate change onto the back burner. Public anger swept cities from Madison to Madrid, as citizens protested that their governments, no matter what their political stripe, offered no alternatives to the economic dictates of a so-called neoliberal economic regime that seemed to operate from corporate and financial power centers beyond popular accountability, and, some argued, even beyond the control of states. THE LOGIC OF CONNECTIVE ACTION 741 Some of these protests seemed to operate with surprisingly light involve- ment from conventional organizations. For example, in Spain ‘los indignados’ (the indignant ones) mobilized in 2011 under the name of 15M for the date (May 15) of the mass mobilization

    This is (Not) What Democracy Looks Like: How Ideology, Hierarchy and Inequality Shape Digital Activism By Jennifer Anne Schradie A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in New Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kim Voss, Chair Professor Claude Fischer Professor Abigail DeKosnik Fall 2014 Abstract This is (Not) What Democracy Looks Like: How Ideology, Hierarchy and Inequality Shape Digital Activism by Jennifer Anne Schradie Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Kim Voss, Chair This dissertation addresses longstanding sociological questions about organizational democracy in the context of contemporary advances in digital technology. To date, most of the scholarship on digital activism suggests that the Internet enables social movements to be less hierarchical, more participatory, and more egalitarian. However, such claims are weakened by researchers’ tendency to study only high levels of digital activism, rather than investigating digital practices across a range of organizations with differing levels of digital engagement. In contrast, I explore political, labor and social movement organizations across an entire political field. My units of analysis are the 34 groups in North Carolina active on both sides of a political issue: public employee collective bargaining rights. The organizations range from Tea Parties to rank-and-file labor unions and from conservative think tanks to progressive coalitions. I collected data on over 60,000 Tweets, Facebook posts and Web site metrics of the organizations. I then created an index to measure the extent of digital engagement of each group, and I developed a typology of online social movement activities and platforms.

The use of algorithms in compositional practice has been in use for centuries. With the advent of computers, formalized procedures have become an important part of computer music. David Cope is an American composer that has pioneered systems that make use of artificial intelligence programming techniques. In this dissertation one of David Cope’s compositions that was generated with one of his processes is examined in detail. A general timeline of algorithmic compositional practice is outlined from a historical perspective, and realized in the Common Lisp programming language as a musicological tool. David Cope’s compositional output is summarized with an explanation of what types of systems he has utilized in the analyses of other composers’ music, and the composition of his own music. Twentieth century analyses techniques are formalized within Common Lisp as algorithmic analyses tools.

  • Scalable Efficient Composite Event Detection*
    Scalable Efficient Composite Event Detection? K. R. Jayaram and Patrick Eugster Department of Computer Science, Purdue University fjayaram, [email protected] Abstract. Composite event detection (CED) is the task of identifying combinations of events which are meaningful with respect to program- defined patterns. Recent research in event-based programming has fo- cused on language design (in different paradigms), leading to a wealth of prototype programming models and languages. However, implement- ing CED in an efficient and scalable manner remains an under-addressed problem. In fact, the lack of scalable algorithms is the main roadblock to incorporating support for more expressive event patterns into prominent event-based programming languages. This lack of scalable algorithms is a particularly acute problem in event stream processing, where event pat- terns can additionally be specified over time windows. In this paper we describe GenTrie, a deterministic trie-based algorithm for CED. We de- scribe how complex event patterns are split, how each sub-pattern maps to a node in the trie, and demonstrate through empirical evaluation that GenTrie has higher throughput than current implementations of related languages. 1 Introduction An event-based system consists of a set of software components that interact by notifying each other of events, where an event is any happening of inter- est { typically a change in the state of a component. Mouse clicks, keyboard events, timers, OS interrupts, sensor readings, stock quotes, and news articles are all examples of events. Events have data attributes attached to them. A stock quote, for instance has the name of the corporation and the price of the stock as attributes.

DEDICATION This document is dedicated to my first bassoon teacher, Betty Johnson. What a blessing it was to learn from you and spend time with you during my early years as a bassoonist. The first thing anyone told me about you was that you were considered the Grandmother of the Bassoon. After learning more about your life, that title makes perfect sense and is deserved. I’m sure you are too humble to figure out why I decided to tell your story. It is because your story is worth being told. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This labor of love would not have been possible without the unending help and support of many people. I began this project by contacting Betty’s daughter, Joan Straach. She instantly invited me to her home, welcomed me into the family, provided many hours of information-filled interviews, and gave me a comfortable place to stay for many nights while I conducted research. The remembrances and memories she shared brought up old memories and forgotten emotions.
