Digital AlterNatives with a Cause?: by Nishant Shah — published Sep 15, 2011 — last modified Apr 10, 2015 09:22 AM — filed under: Social media, Digital Activism, RAW Publications, Campaign, Digital Natives, Agency, Blank Noise Project, Featured, Cybercultures, Facebook, Publications, Beyond the Digital, Digital subjectivities, Books, Researchers at Work
Hivos and the Centre for Internet and Society have consolidated their three year knowledge inquiry into the field of youth, technology and change in a four book collective “Digital AlterNatives with a cause?”. This collaboratively produced collective, edited by Nishant Shah and Fieke Jansen, asks critical and pertinent questions about theory and practice around 'digital revolutions' in a post MENA (Middle East - North Africa) world. It works with multiple vocabularies and frameworks and produces dialogues and conversations between digital natives, academic and research scholars, practitioners, development agencies and corporate structures to examine the nature and practice of digital natives in emerging contexts from the Global South.

Beyond the Digital: Understanding Digital Natives with a Cause: by Maesy Angelina — published Jul 30, 2010 — last modified Mar 13, 2012 10:43 AM — filed under: Youth, Digital Activism, Digital Natives, Blank Noise Project, Beyond the Digital
Digital natives with a cause: the future of activism or slacktivism? Maesy Angelina argues that the debate is premature given the obscured understanding on youth digital activism and contends that an effort to understand this from the contextualized perspectives of the digital natives themselves is a crucial first step to make. This is the first out of a series of posts on her journey to explore new insights to understand youth digital activism through a research with The Blank Noise Project under the Hivos-CIS Digital Natives Knowledge Programme.

First Thing First: by Maesy Angelina — published Oct 27, 2010 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 10:31 AM — filed under: Cyberspace, Digital Activism, Eve teasing, Digital Natives, Street sexual harassment, Youth, Beyond the Digital, movements
Studies often focus on how digital natives do their activism in identifying the characteristics of youth digital activism and dedicate little attention to what the activism is about. The second blog post in the Beyond the Digital series reverses this trend and explores how the Blank Noise Project articulates the issue it addresses: street sexual harassment.

Talking Back without "Talking Back": by Maesy Angelina — published Nov 07, 2010 — last modified Sep 22, 2011 11:37 AM — filed under: Cyberspace, Digital Activism, Eve teasing, Digital Natives, Youth, Research, Blank Noise Project, art and intervention, Beyond the Digital, Communities, cyberspaces, Street sexual harassment
The activism of digital natives is often considered different from previous generations because of the methods and tools they use. However, reflecting on my conversations with The Blank Noise Project and my experience in the ‘Digital Natives Talking Back’ workshop in Taipei, the difference goes beyond the method and can be spotted at the analytical level – how young people today are thinking about their activism.

The previous posts in the Beyond the Digital series have discussed the distinct ways in which young people today are thinking about their activism. The fourth post elaborates further on how this is translated into practice by sharing the experience of a Blank Noise street intervention: Y ARE U LOOKING AT ME?

Is Web 2.0 really the only reason why youth digital activism is so successful in mobilizing public engagement? A look into the transformation of Blank Noise’s blog from a one-way communication medium into a site of public dialogue and collaboration reveals the crucial factors behind the success.

The Class Question: by Maesy Angelina — published Feb 18, 2011 — last modified Sep 22, 2011 12:45 PM — filed under: Youth, Digital Activism, Digital Natives, Blank Noise Project, Beyond the Digital
Blank Noise aims to be as inclusive as possible and therefore does not identify any specific target groups. Yet, the spaces and the methods they occupy do attract certain kinds of volunteers and public. This raises the class question: what are the dilemmas around class on digital interventions? Are they any different from the dilemmas on street interventions?

The Many Faces Within: by Maesy Angelina — published Feb 28, 2011 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 10:41 AM — filed under: Blank Noise Project, Beyond the Digital, Digital Natives
Blank Noise, as many other digital native collectives, may seem to be complete horizontal at first glance. But, a closer look reveals the many different possibilities for involvement and a unique way the collective organize itself.
