Whither Tactical Media?
Third Text, Vol. 22, Issue 5, September, 2008, 519–524 Introduction: Whither Tactical Media? Gene Ray and Gregory Sholette We began collaborating on this Special Issue in June of 2006. Our concern was to understand how tactical media (TM) had evolved in the decade since its emergence and to ask how far and in what ways this stream of critical cultural practices and approach to media activism remains viable today. The current global situation is characterised by two factors that were absent or still obscure in the mid-1990s: the renewal of radical and anti-capitalist imagination ignited by the 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas and by movements, protests and struggles against neo-liberalism in Seoul, Seattle, Buenos Aires, Durban, Genoa, Quito and many other places; and the new politics of fear and perma- nent war that have been imposed globally since September 11, 2001. To these, we can add the undeniable indicators of global climate change, resource depletion and ecological degradation, and the openly fascistic tendencies generated by the politics of fear. In light of these shifts, we felt a reflective assessment of tactical media would be timely. Above all, we felt it had become necessary to revisit the question of strategy and the conditions for durable, organised struggle. Despite TM practitioners’ Downloaded By: [New York University] At: 15:28 12 February 2009 aversion to strategic thinking, institutionalisation, categorical hierarchies and grand narratives, it is apparent that a group of radicals with no such prejudices and inhibitions are busy imposing their ultra-conservative vision on the world. Is it still reasonable, then, to insist on the viability of ephemeral tactics that hold no ground of their own, that disappear once they are executed, and that represent no particular politics or vision of a desirable future? Thus, to a range of theorists and activists, we posed this question: ‘Whither tactical media?’ We hoped the results would at least contribute to recently renewed debates about the limits and possibilities of politically engaged art. -
Hacking Global Justice Paper Prepared
Hacking Global Justice Paper prepared for: Changing Politics through Digital Networks October 5-6, 2007 Universitá degli Studi di Firenze Florence, Italy Jeffrey S. Juris Assistant Professor of Anthropology Department of Social & Behavioral Sciences New College of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences Arizona State University [email protected] Hacking Global Justice On November 30, 1999, as tens of thousands of protesters blockaded the World Trade Organization (WTO) Summit in Seattle, the electrohippies organized a simultaneous collective action in cyberspace. The U.K.-based collective, composed of environmentalists and computer programmers, developed a special website allowing activists from around the world to take part in a “virtual sit-in.” Using Floodnet software developed by the Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) during previous actions supporting the Zapatistas, the electrohippies’ site automatically transferred visitors en masse to the official WTO domain as if thousands of surfers repeatedly clicked their browser reload buttons at the same time. The action was designed to overload the WTO web server by sending multiple requests over a period of several days. The electrohippies claimed more than 450,000 people ultimately swamped the WTO site from November 30 to December 5, while participants sent an additional 900 e-mails to the server per day. The group later explained their action in this way, "In conventional sit-ins people try to occupy gateways or buildings. In a virtual sit-in people from around the globe can occupy the gateway to the WTO’s web servers. In this way we hope to block the flow of information from the conference- which is significant because it will cement proposals to expand globalization in the 21st Century."1 The virtual sit-in against the WTO is an example of what activists call Electronic Civil Disobedience (ECD), an information-age tactic intricately tied to an emerging wave of resistance against corporate globalization (cf. -

A banda liderada por Bobby Gillespie, figura incontornável da música alternativa, sobe ao Palco NOS dia 12 de julho juntando-se assim aos já anunciados Vampire Weekend, Gossip e Izal no segundo dia do festival. Com mais de 30 anos de carreira, Primal Scream trazem até ao Passeio Marítimo de Algés o novo álbum com data de lançamento previsto a 24 de maio, “Maximum Rock N Roll: The Singles”, trabalho que reúne os singles da banda desde 1986 até 2016 em dois volumes. A compilação começa com “Velocity Girl”, passando por temas dos dois primeiros álbuns como são exemplo "Ivy Ivy Ivy" e "Loaded". A banda que tinha apresentado em outubro de 2018 a mais recente compilação de singles originais do quarto álbum de 1994 com “Give Out But Don’t Give Up: The Original Memphis Recordings”, juntando-se ao lendário produtor Tom Dowd, a David Hood (baixo) e Roger Hawkins (bateria) no Ardent Studios em Memphis, está de volta às gravações e revelam algo nunca antes ouvido e uma banda que continua a surpreender. Primal Scream foi uma parte fundamental da cena indie pop dos anos 80, depois do galardoado disco "Screamadelica" vencedor do Mercury Prize em 1991, considerado um dos maiores de todos os tempos, a banda seguiu por influências de garage rock e dance music até ao último trabalho discográfico “Chaosmosis” lançado em 2016. -

It is hard to tell whether the ramshackle stage is inside or outside but it appears to be set up against a wall made of corrugated metal. All else is black. The camera cuts to a close-up of the curtains, which are parted to reveal a pale young man with crow’s nest hair wearing a sequined tuxedo and a skewed bow tie. The man holds a lit cigarette and behind him, overseeing proceedings, is a large statue of the Virgin Mary. As the man with the crow’s nest hair walks fully through the arch he opens his mouth and sings the words ‘As the snow flies, on a cold and grey Chicago morn another little baby child is born…’. The song continues with the singer alternately shuffling as if embarrassed by the attention of the camera and then holding his arms aloft in declamation or fixing the viewer with a steely gaze. -
Papers of Surrealism, Issue 8, Spring 2010 1
© Lizzie Thynne, 2010 Indirect Action: Politics and the Subversion of Identity in Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore’s Resistance to the Occupation of Jersey Lizzie Thynne Abstract This article explores how Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore translated the strategies of their artistic practice and pre-war involvement with the Surrealists and revolutionary politics into an ingenious counter-propaganda campaign against the German Occupation. Unlike some of their contemporaries such as Tristan Tzara and Louis Aragon who embraced Communist orthodoxy, the women refused to relinquish the radical relativism of their approach to gender, meaning and identity in resisting totalitarianism. Their campaign built on Cahun’s theorization of the concept of ‘indirect action’ in her 1934 essay, Place your Bets (Les paris sont ouvert), which defended surrealism in opposition to both the instrumentalization of art and myths of transcendence. An examination of Cahun’s post-war letters and the extant leaflets the women distributed in Jersey reveal how they appropriated and inverted Nazi discourse to promote defeatism through carnivalesque montage, black humour and the ludic voice of their adopted persona, the ‘Soldier without a Name.’ It is far from my intention to reproach those who left France at the time of the Occupation. But one must point out that Surrealism was entirely absent from the preoccupations of those who remained because it was no help whatsoever on an emotional or practical level in their struggles against the Nazis.1 Former dadaist and surrealist and close collaborator of André Breton, Tristan Tzara thus dismisses the idea that surrealism had any value in opposing Nazi domination. -
