Abstract

This book is a timely analysis of the growing impact of digital technologies on populism in the US and beyond. Scott Timcke uses Marxist analysis to explore the way digital devices, social networks, data and algorithms, and the technology giants that lie behind them, are changing the way people think about politics and society.

Abstract

All forms of popular protest include a specific category of 'popular intellectuals', who reflect on social reality, speak in the name of popular classes and who articulate ideas that inspire collective action. This volume focuses on these individuals from an original angle: it looks at the experiences of popular intellectuals in non-western societies, who operate within social-movement networks that link local, regional, and international arenas, and connect to a global flow of ideas. Eight case studies on different societies in twentieth-century Asia, Africa, and Latin America highlight specific activist intellectuals and their role in collective action. They cover a wide terrain, including framing contests among Muslim activists and cultural brokerage in an ecological movement. The collection provides fresh insights into the cultural dynamics of social contention and widens the geographic scope of current debates on this theme.

Abstract

Stewart Brand occupe une place essentielle, celle du passeur qui au delà de la technique fait naître les rêves, les utopies et les justifications auto-réalisatrices. Depuis la fin des années soixante, il a construit et promu les mythes de l'informatique avec le Whole Earth Catalog, le magazine Wired ou le système de conférences électroniques du WELL et ses communautés virtuelles. Aux sources de l'utopie numérique nous emmène avec lui à la découverte du mouvement de la contre-culture et de son rôle déterminant dans l'histoire de l'internet.
