Lawrence PIETERS Beatrice RAPHEL As the clever title implies, the story is about how, despite seemingly compelling reasons to the contrary, Ricardo YÁÑEZ the most profoundly human response to injury is to reverse the impulse to revenge.

    == English version below == Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anlässlich des dritten Jahrestags der Inhaftierung des prominenten Saudischen Bloggers Raif Badawi, möchten wir Sie hiermit herzlich zu der Vorführung von FORBIDDEN VOICES am 17. Juni 2015 um 19:00 im Schikaneder (Margaretenstraße 24, 1040 Wien) einladen. Die Veranstaltung wird vom Forschungszentrum Menschenrechte der Universität Wien und dem Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Menschenrechte gemeinsam mit dem Menschenrechtsfilmfestival this human world organisiert. Die Vorführung findet in Kooperation mit Amnesty International Österreich, der ARGE Raif und Reporter ohne Grenzen Österreich statt. Der mehrfach ausgezeichnete Dokumentarfilm FORBIDDEN VOICES porträtiert drei Bloggerinnen. Ihre Stimmen werden unterdrückt, verboten und zensiert. Doch Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan und Farnaz Seifi lassen sich von ihren diktatorischen Regimen nicht einschüchtern. Die furchtlosen Frauen repräsentieren eine neue, vernetzte Generation moderner Widerstandskämpferinnen. In Kuba, Iran und China bringen die-se Pionierinnen mit ihren Blogs das staatliche Informationsmonopol ins Wanken - und riskieren dabei ihr Leben. Barbara Millers Film begleitet die modernen Rebellinnen auf ihrer gefährlichen, entbehrungsreichen Reise und zeigt, wie die jungen Frauen mit Hilfe sozialer Medien wie Facebook, Youtube und Twitter die Missstände in ihren Ländern anprangern - und dabei so viel politischen Druck aufbauen, dass sie weltweit Resonanz auslösen.

    Graduate Studies – Course Syllabus _____________________________________________________________________ DIGF 5B90 Dialogues in Feminism and Technology Number of credits: 3 Tuesdays 11:50-14:50 205 Richmond Rm 7511 (fifth floor) _____________________________________________________________________ Professor: Dr. Maria Belén Ordóñez [email protected] Skype: messagebelen (by appointment) Office: 100 McCaul St. Rm 371a (by appointment) _____________________________________________________________________ GRADUATE COURSE CALENDAR DESCRIPTION: “Dialogues in Feminism and Technology” offers the opportunity to engage with key feminist theoretical and methodological research in science, technology and media that, despite its formative role in scholarship, is rarely considered as a coherent collection. Uniquely, the course offers recently created dialogues of key feminist scholars in conversation on key topics in the areas of science, media and technology study, including difference, identity, race, sexuality, archives, labour, and more. As one of 15 course sections being taught internationally, this course invites students to participate in an international learning community of others studying the same content during the term” EXPANDED COURSE DESCRIPTION: “Dialogues in Feminism and Technology” stems from a feminist collaborative and networked initiative (FemTechNet) that aims to create physical, virtual, and situated spaces of engagement with science, technology and the media. This is to be accomplished through an open and networked learning experiment called DOCC: Distributed Open Collaborative Course. The narrative of the course traces the contributions of feminist epistemologies, practices and methodologies for (new) conceptualizations of the body, difference, sex, race, labour, objectivity, machines, place, queer animation and becomings.Video Dialogues are included as a way to highlight the production of feminist knowledge in the making, while also incorporating emerging feminist perspectives across and between participating institutions.

  • Online Technologies and the Power Struggle in Iran ARASH ANGHAEI
    Cyber-Activists as Innovators: Online Technologies and the Power Struggle in Iran ARASH ANGHAEI A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2016 Abstract This thesis analyses key social and technical capabilities and functions in Iran through the lens of the National Innovation System (NIS) model, focusing on processes influencing the on-going online encounter between the regime and local and expatriate pro- democracy cyber-activists in the aftermath of the country's contested presidential elections in June 2009. Conceptually, it is located in Science and Technology Studies (STS), with an emphasis on constructivist theory including Social Shaping of Technology (SST) as its creative backbone. In the original Nordic conceptualisation of the NIS model, openness is considered a given. This prevents the model from adequately explaining the dynamics of innovation in repressive countries. In Iran, nationwide innovation processes are distorted by high level security officials' ideology-driven approach to the generation and diffusion of scientific knowledge and the influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) over Iran's national economy. Bifurcated due to significant political differences, the Iranian NIS has become dysfunctional in the absence of an integrated, democratic structure, making the country highly dependent on foreign expertise. The overreliance of Iran on cross-border technological contributions is reflected in the state's internet surveillance apparatus. Currently, major European information and communications technology (ICT) companies aid the core of the censorship infrastructure employed by the Iranian regime, while a great majority of the anti-filtering software used by the cyber-activists is developed by North American universities, research centres and human rights NGOs.

  • Forbidden Voices How to Start a Revolution with a Laptop
    WEXNER CENTER FOR THE ARTS SCHOOL PROGRAMS RESOURCES FORBIDDEN VOICES HOW TO START A REVOLUTION WITH A LAPTOP 0 Starring Crew Yoani Sánchez (Cuba) Written & Directed by: Barbara Miller Producer: Philip Delaquis - Yoani on Twitter: @yoanifromcuba Camera: Peter Indergand scs - Yoani's Blog: Generación Y Editing: Andreas Winterstein Farnaz Seifi (Iran) Music: Marcel Vaid - Farnaz' Blog: (shut down) Sound Design/Mix: Roman Bergamin Zeng Jinyan (China) Production Company: Das Kollektiv GmbH Zurich, Switzerland - Zeng's Blog: 了了园| 曾金燕的 - Zeng on Twitter: @zengjinyan Official Website: http://www.forbiddenvoices.net Synopsis Their voices are suppressed, prohibited and censored. But world-famous bloggers Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan and Farnaz Seifi are unafraid of their dictatorial regimes. These fearless women represent a new, networked generation of modern rebels. In Cuba, China and Iran their blogs shake the foundations of the state information monopoly, putting them at great risk. This film accompanies these brave young cyberfeminists on perilous journeys. Eyewitness reports and clandestine footage show Sánchez's brutal beating by Cuban police for criticizing her country's regime; Chinese human rights activist Jinyan under house arrest for four years; and Iranian journalist and women's advocate Seifi forced into exile, where she blogs under a pseudonym. Tracing each woman's use of social media to denounce and combat violations of human rights and free speech in her home country, FORBIDDEN VOICES attests to the Internet's potential for building international awareness and political pressure. 1 Related Links • Read Yoani Sanchez’s bio and her posts on Huffington Post. • An article on bbc.com about Yoani Sanchez and the launch of her newspaper.

  • 'Forbidden Voices' Wins WACC- SIGNIS Human Rights Award
    'Forbidden Voices' wins WACC- SIGNIS Human Rights Award The WACC-SIGNIS Human Rights Award for 2012 has been given to the documentary filmForbidden Voices, directed by Barbara Miller, according to an announcement from the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC). The award is given to documentaries that seek to throw light on a question of human rights reflecting the values and priorities of WACC and SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communication. The film profiles three courageous female bloggers - Yoani Sánchez in Cuba, Zeng Jinyan in China and Farnaz Seifi in Iran - who are putting their lives at risk to challenge state monopolies on information. Forbidden Voices accompanies them on their dangerous journeys and explores their use of social media to denounce and combat violations of human rights and freedom of speech in their countries. Generación Y, a blog by Havana-based Sánchez, quickly became very popular after its April 2007 launch. Given an award by the Spanish daily El País in 2008, it takes a critical look at the everyday economic and social problems that Cubans face. Sánchez is subject to strict government censorship and smear campaigns and has even been physically attacked. Despite the Chinese government’s censorship and repressive methods, Zeng has been using her blog and Twitter feed since 2006 to describe her life, including the imprisonment of her human rights activist husband Hu Jia, who has defended AIDS patients and the environment. When Hu was arrested, Zeng and her baby were placed under house arrest, with guards stationed around their home. She continued to write about the fight for basic freedoms in China.
