“Politics by other means”: Fostering positive contestation and charting ‘red lines’ through global governance in cyberspace: by Arindrajit Basu — published Oct 20, 2019 — last modified Oct 21, 2019 03:40 PM — filed under: Cyberspace, Internet Governance
The past year has been a busy one for the fermentation of global governance efforts in cyberspace with multiple actors-states, industry, and civil society spearheading a variety of initiatives.

China's Generation Y : Youth and Technology in Shanghai: by Nishant Shah — published Sep 21, 2009 — last modified Sep 21, 2009 02:09 PM — filed under: Cyberspace, Social media, Shanghai, Cyborgs, Cybercultures, Digital Natives
Within the context of internet technologies in China, Nishant Shah, drawing from his seven month research in Shanghai, looks at the first embodiment of these technologies in the urbanising city. In this post, he gives a brief overview of the public and academic discourse around youth-technology usage of China's Generation Y digital natives. He draws the techno-narratives of euphoria and despair to show how technology studies has reduced technology to tools and usage and hence even the proponents of internet technologies, often do a disservice to the technology itself. He poses questions about the politics, mechanics and aesthetics of technology and offers the premise upon which structures of reading resistance can be built. The post ends with a preview of the three stories that are to appear next in the series, to see how youth engagement and cultural production can be read as having the potentials for social transformation and political participation for the Digital Natives in China.
