Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • Misunderstanding the Internet
    Misunderstanding the Internet The growth of the internet has been spectacular. There are now more than 2 billion internet users across the globe, about 30 per cent of the world’s population. This is certainly a new phenomenon that is of enormous significance for the economic, political and social life of contemporary societies. However, much popular and academic writing about the internet takes a celebratory view, assuming that the internet’s potential will be realised in essentially transformative ways. This was especially true in the euphoric moment of the mid-1990s, when many commentators wrote about the internet with awe and wonderment. While this moment may be over, its underlying technocentrism – the belief that technology determines outcomes – lingers on, and, with it, a failure to understand the internet in its social, economic and political context. Misunderstanding the Internet is a short introduction, encompassing the history, sociology, politics and economics of the internet and its impact on society. The book has a simple three part structure: Part 1 looks at the history of the internet, and offers an overview of the internet’s place in society Part 2 focuses on the control and economics of the internet Part 3 examines the internet’s political and cultural influence Misunderstanding the Internet is a polemical, sociologically and historically informed textbook that aims to challenge both popular myths and existing academic orthodoxies surrounding the internet. James Curran is Professor of Communication at Goldsmiths, University of London, and is Director of the Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Centre. He has written or edited 21 books about the media, including Power Without Responsibility (with Jean Seaton), now in its seventh edition, Media and Society, now in its fifth edition, Media and Power, and Media and Democracy.

  • Open Source Activism Self Activating, Self Organising Activism That Crosses the Boundary Between the Internet and the Streets
    OPEN SOURCE ACTIVISM SELF ACTIVATING, SELF ORGANISING ACTIVISM THAT CROSSES THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE INTERNET AND THE STREETS By Dieuwertje Albertine Roosmarijn Bijker DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF COMMUNICATION IN THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT AT THE HOGESCHOOL VAN UTRECHT UTRECHT, June 7, 2010 Abstract This dissertation examines three cases of 'Open source activism' – activism where people rose up to take action without having been externally motivated or organised, and each activist acted according to their own abilities and insights to further a common goal. In these three cases the activism came into existence spontaneously, gathered momentum, and successfully crossed the boundary from online action to offline activism. This dissertation examines the commonalities and the differences between the movements, and uses theory of animal models of self organisation (Jaap van Ginneken) and the Motivaction Mentality model (Motivaction) to draw conclusions about how this phenomenon works, and its significance to communicators. At present we find that the application of open source activism as a communication tool is limited; it cannot be created, though if circumstances are already existing, it could be encouraged to come into existence, as in the presidential campaign of president Obama. Even then it is an unpredictable process and most organisations will find that in most situations, open source activism could sooner be a risk than an asset to their communication strategy. However as organisations and communication styles move ever more toward the principles of co-creation and other forms of interactive producer - user relationships, it is likely that open source activism will become more common, and that organisations will develop means to communicate with activists and make use of the creative energy present in such campaigns.
