[ecrea] new book: Performing Digital Activism: New Aesthetics and Discourse of Resistance

I am very pleased to announce the publication of my new book: 
/Performing Digital Activism: New Aesthetics and Discourse of 
Resistance. /(Routledge 2017)

Description:

From the emergence of digital protest as part of the Zapatista 
rebellion, to the use of disturbance tactics against governments and 
commercial institutions, there is no doubt that digital technology and 
networks have become the standard features of 21st century social 
mobilisation. Yet, little is known about the historical and 
socio-cultural developments that have transformed the virtual sphere 
into a key site of political confrontation. This book provides a 
critical analysis of the developments of digital direct action since the 
1990s. It examine the praxis of electronic protest by focussing on the 
discourses and narratives provided by the activists and artists 
involved. The study covers the work of activist groups, including 
Critical Art Ensemble, Electronic Disturbance Theater and the 
electrohippies, as well as Anonymous, and proposes a new analytical 
framework centred on the performative and aesthetic features of 
contemporary digital activism.
