Hi Michel,
did you know about the book "@ is For Activism"? I think we should review
it. What do you think?

@ is For Activism examines the transformation of politics through digital
media, including digital television, online social networking and mobile
computing. Joss Hands maps out how political relationships have been
reconfigured and new modes of cooperation, deliberation and representation
have emerged. This analysis is applied to the organisation and practice of
alternative politics, showing how they have developed and embraced the new
political and technological environment. Hands offers a comprehensive
critical survey of existing literature, as well as an original perspective
on networks and political change. He includes many case studies including
the anti-war and global justice movements, peer production, user created TV
and 'Twitter' activism. @ is For Activism is essential for activists and
students of politics and media.
