Political is as Political does: by Nishant Shah — published Aug 20, 2010 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 10:30 AM — filed under: Digital Activism, Digital Natives, Political, Youth, Featured, Cybercultures, Digital subjectivities, Workshop
The Talking Back workshop has been an extraordinary experience for me. The questions that I posed for others attending the workshop have hounded me as they went through the course of discussion, analysis and dissection. Strange nuances have emerged, certain presumptions have been questioned, new legacies have been discovered, novel ideas are still playing ping-pong in my mind, and a strange restless excitement – the kind that keeps me awake till dawning morn – has taken over me, as I try and figure out the wherefore and howfore of things. I began the research project on Digital Natives in a condition of not knowing, almost two years ago. Since then, I have taken many detours, rambled on strange paths, discovered unknown territories and reached a mile-stone where I still don’t know, but don’t know what I don’t know, and that is a good beginning.

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.
