Digital Activism in Asia Reader: by Sumandro Chattapadhyay — published Aug 08, 2015 — last modified Oct 24, 2015 02:36 PM — filed under: Digital Activism, Digital Activism in Asia Reader, Featured, Research, Net Cultures, Publications, Researchers at Work
The digital turn might as well be marked as an Asian turn. From flash-mobs in Taiwan to feminist mobilisations in India, from hybrid media strategies of Syrian activists to cultural protests in Thailand, we see the emergence of political acts that transform the citizen from being a beneficiary of change to becoming an agent of change. In co-shaping these changes, what the digital shall be used for, and what its consequences will be, are both up for speculation and negotiation. Digital Activism in Asia marks a particular shift where these questions are no longer being refracted through the ICT4D logic, or the West’s attempts to save Asia from itself, but shaped by multiplicity, unevenness, and urgencies of digital sites and users in Asia. It is our great pleasure to present the Digital Activism in Asia Reader.

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.
