Описание: Comic books for adults have become one of the most novel and colourful forms of cultural expression in the Arab world today. During the last ten years, young Arabs have crafted stories explaining issues such as authoritarianism, resistance, war, sex, gender relations and youth culture. These are distributed through informal channels as well as independent bookstores and websites. Events like the annual Cairocomix festival in Egypt and the Mahmoud Kahil Award in Lebanon evidence the importance of this cultural phenomenon. Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture focuses on the production of these comics in Egypt and Lebanon, countries at the forefront of the development of the genre for adults. Jacob Hoigilt guides the reader through the emergence of independent comics, explores their social and political critique, and analyses their visual and verbal rhetoric. Analysing more than 50 illustrations, included here, he shows that Arab comics are revealing of the changing attitudes towards politics, social relations and even language. While political analysts often paint a bleak picture of the Arab world after 2011, this book suggests that art and storytelling continue to nourish a spirit of liberty and freedom despite political setbacks. Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture provides a fresh and original insight into the politics of the Middle East and cultural expression in the Arab World.

Описание: Pour la premiere fois, un ouvrage scientifique etudie le jazz et ses relations avec le pouvoir dans plus de 6 pays francophones, germanophones et russophones. Il s’interroge sur la valeur subversive du jazz dans la quete identitaire de la jeunesse contestataire, sur son role dans la propagande d’Etat de l’Est comme de l’Ouest, et dans la definition de soi des elites et des artistes des annees 1920 a nos jours. Resolument internationale, la perspective choisie est egalement pluridisciplinaire. Diese Studie widmet sich als erste in diesem Gebiet dem Jazz und seinen Beziehungen zu den Machthabern der jeweiligen Staaten. Der Fokus liegt auf verschiedenen deutsch-, franzosisch- sowie russischsprachigen europaischen Landern. Untersucht wird, wie subversiv der Jazz in der Identitatssuche der Jugend wirkt, sowie seine Rolle in der staatlichen Propaganda, und in der Selbstdefinition der Eliten und der Kunstler von den 1920er Jahren bis heute. Die Perspektive dieses Buches ist sowohl international wie interdisziplinar.

What is Hacktivism?

In The Coming Swarm, rising star Molly Sauter examines the history, development, theory, and practice of distributed denial of service actions as a tactic of political activism. The internet is a vital arena of communication, self expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message to convey, words to get out, or people to unify, many will turn to the internet as a theater for that activity. As familiar and widely accepted activist tools-petitions, fundraisers, mass letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others-find equivalent practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? With a historically grounded analysis, and a focus on early deployments of activist DDOS as well as modern instances to trace its development over time, The Coming Swarm uses activist DDOS actions as the foundation of a larger analysis of the practice of disruptive civil disobedience on the internet.

Описание: Argues that the moment the US became an overseas colonial power in 1898, American national identity was redefined across a global matrix. The Philippines, which the US seized at that point from Spain and local revolutionaries, is therefore the birthplace of a new kind of America, one with a planetary reach that was accompanied by resistance to that reach by local peoples.
