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.

Revisiting Techno-euphoria: by Nishant Shah — published Jul 11, 2012 — last modified Apr 24, 2015 11:53 AM — filed under: Digital subjectivities, Researchers at Work, Digital Natives
In my last post, I talked about techno-euphoria as a condition that seems to mark much of our discourse around digital technologies and the promise of the future. The euphoria, as I had suggested, manifests itself either as a utopian view of how digital technologies are going to change the future that we inhabit, or woes of despair about how the overdetermination of the digital is killing the very fibre of our social fabric.
