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.

Digital Natives : Talking Back: by Nishant Shah — published Aug 17, 2010 — last modified May 15, 2015 11:50 AM — filed under: Digital Activism, Digital Natives, Youth, Featured, Workshop, Digital subjectivities, Researchers at Work
One of the most significant transitions in the landscape of social and political movements, is how younger users of technology, in their interaction with new and innovative technologised platforms have taken up responsibility to respond to crises in their local and immediate environments, relying upon their digital networks, virtual communities and platforms. In the last decade or so, the digital natives, in universities as well as in work spaces, as they experimented with the potentials of internet technologies, have launched successful socio-political campaigns which have worked unexpectedly and often without precedent, in the way they mobilised local contexts and global outreach to address issues of deep political and social concern. But what do we really know about this Digital Natives revolution?

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.

On Talking Back: A Report on the Taiwan Workshop: by Prasad Krishna — published Sep 09, 2010 — last modified Jan 03, 2012 10:35 AM — filed under: Featured, Digital Natives
What does it mean to Talk Back? Who do we Talk Back against? Are we alone in our attempts or a part of a larger community? How do we use digital technologies to find other peers and stake-holders? What is the language and vocabulary we use to successfully articulate our problems? How do we negotiate with structures of power to fight for our rights? These were the kind of questions that the Talking Back workshop held in the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica in Taiwan from 16 to 18 August 2010 posed.
