Tarihsel süreç içerisinde toplumsal alandaki egemenlik ilişkileri sosyo-kültürel alana da sirayet ederek onu yapısal olarak şekillendirmiştir. Sosyo-kültürel alan içerisindeki egemenlik ilişkileri günümüzde dijital bir ekosistemin içerisinde yeşerirken geçmişten bugüne kültürel formların bu alandaki temsilinde eşitsizlikler ortaya çıkmıştır. Bugün toplumsal çeşitliliği simgelemekte olan alt kültür formları, dijital medya içerisinde yeterince temsil edilmeyerek dijital eşitsizliğe maruz kalmaktadırlar. Bu kültür formlarından birisi olan “Rumeli Kültürü” bu çalışmanın örneklemi olarak seçilmiştir. Türkiye’de yaşamakta olan Rumeli göçmenleri diğer alt kültür formları gibi kendilerine uygulanmakta olan dijital eşitsizliğin getirdiği mağduriyetten kurtulabilmek için sosyal medya araçlarını daha etkili kullanmak zorunda kalmışlardır. Rumeli kültürünün yoğun olarak yaşandığı Bayrampaşa’da bulunan Türkiye Bosna Sancak Kültür ve Yardımlaşma Derneği kültürlerini tanıtmak, nesilden nesile yaşatabilmek ve üyeler arasında bir birlik sağlayabilmek adına dernek salonlarında etkinlikler düzenlemektedir. Bu etkinliklere gelemeyenlerin programı canlı izleyebilmeleri için Youtube üzerinden televizyon yayını yapmaktadırlar. Zaman zaman gazete ve dergiler hazırlayıp yayımlamakta olan dernek yetkilileri ayrıca üyeleriyle iki yönlü iletişim kurabilmek amacıyla sosyal medya platformları üzerinden içerikler paylaşmaktadırlar. Dijital medyada yapılan paylaşımlarla kendilerine ait kültürel pratikleri yaşatmaya çalışan dernek üyeleri yaratılan bu sanal ekosistemde Rumeli kültürüne ait formları kültürel bellek içerisinde nesiller arasında aktarma imkânı kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma metotlarından derinlemesine görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak Rumelili birer dernek ve federasyon başkanıyla Zoom üzerinden görüşme yapılmış, kendilerine uğradıkları dijital eşitsizlikten kurtulmak için neler yaptıkları sorulmuştur. Aynı zamanda sosyal medyayı daha aktif kullanmakta olan Türkiye Bosna Sancak Kültür ve Yardımlaşma Derneği’nin paylaşımları Roland Barthes’ın literatüre sunduğu kuramsal göstergebilim ilkeleri doğrultusunda çözümlenmiştir. Yapılmış olan bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular sonucunda dijital eşitsizliğe maruz kalmakta olan alt kültür formlarının özellikle yeni medya araçları üzerinden paylaşım yaptıkları, dergi ve gazeteler yayımladıkları, kendilerine ait televizyon kanalları kurup toplumsal hafızayı bu şekilde diri tutarak maruz bırakıldıkları dijital eşitsizliğin getirmiş olduğu mağduriyetlerden kurtulmaya çalıştıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Today´s projection art on public surfaces developed from the mutual approximation of painting, architecture, and lighting during centuries. The terms “Spatial Augmented Reality” (SAR) and “projection mapping” describe mostly temporary large screen projections on urban surfaces. The façade architecture becomes the screen for the content, mostly projected 2D and 3D animations. In essence, many of these artworks generate illusionistic clips deriving from the existing façade structure, allowing reality and fiction to merge audio visually. Artists, architects, curators, and institutions are increasingly aware of their responsibility related to this form of the mediatization of architecture, as shown, for example, by the Brazilian artist group Visualfarm. Their members approach their work as a counterpoint to the commercialization of public space in its appropriation by industry, propaganda, and advertising. But on the other hand, they also make a living from commercial assignments. Artis...

The purpose of this qualitative participatory research study was to explore what happens when English language arts (ELA) preservice teachers collaborate to develop multimodal, intersectional, and critical feminist empowerment literacy curricula. This study centered on the following research question: How do ELA preservice teachers make sense of how pop-cultural, multimodal texts such as VSCO stickers frame girlhood and womanhood? Multiple data were collected: audio and video recording transcripts of monthly Saturday workshops, artifacts, such as curriculum writing and workshop photographs, researcher journals, analytic memos, and a shared Google Drive of written student thinking. The constant comparative method was used to analyze and triangulate the data. Analyses of data revealed that preservice teachers were able to critically analyze consumerism relating to VSCO stickers and girlhood and were able to notice how stickers typecast and reify individualism while also navigating authenticity during self-selection and categorizing stickers. Additionally, data analysis demonstrated how critical literacies played a role in the preservice teachers' understanding of how several groups, communities, and individual voices were not recognized in the marketing and consumption of VSCO sticker packaging as well as providing additional gender biases in society.

BACKGROUND After decades of research and clinical experience, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) turns out to be heterogeneous in every sense, including phenotype and etiology. How is this heterogeneous view translated in information that is useful and significant to parents and clinicians?<br/> AIM: To formulate recommendations with regard to clinical ASD care in young children.<br/> METHOD: We conducted in-depth interviews on how parents (11 mothers and 6 fathers of 11 children) and physicians (n = 16) view and experience a young child's ASD diagnosis. The interviews were analysed in Nvivo 11 according to the guidelines of interpretative phenomenological analysis.<br/> RESULTS: The interviewed parents and physicians addressed psycho-relational implications of an ASD diagnosis as much as treatment-oriented implications. Twelve months after their child got an ASD diagnosis, some disappointment regarding these implications led parents to a pragmatic understanding of an ASD diagnosis.<br/> CONCLUSION: Our results may be useful to both clinicians and policy makers with regard to clinical ASD care in young children. An ASD diagnosis in itself may be of limited help to parents and clinicians but can be of use if it is embedded in a request-oriented diagnostic process guided by a communication model of shared decision making and aimed at elaborating a treatment-oriented profile of the child.

La producción de documentales en el ámbito de la cooperación para el desarrollo adquiere unas características particulares en cuanto a libertad de expresión, información y comunicación se refiere. Las estructuras sociopolíticas nacionales e internacionales y las relaciones de poder establecidas entre países benefactores y países beneficiados condicionan el hacery los resultados de este tipo de producciones. Esta imposición se traduce en una limitación de la libertad de información y expresión en un impedimento para la puesta en práctica de una metodología científica en las tareas de documentación, trabajo de campo, análisis y comunicación de resultados. El presente texto toma como base la experiencia de un equipo de producción audiovisual autor de una serie de documentales patrocinados por la Cooperación Española en distintos países del planeta. El área de acción de las producciones se estableció en el ámbito de la intervención médica en zonas de Etiopía, Nepal, Perú y El Salvador con fines de sensibilización, difusión y defensa de los programas destinados a paliar los efectos de dos enfermedades: la leishmaniasis (cutánea y visceral) y el VIH/SIDA. El documental en este marco de actuación se debate entre cumplir con las directrices y recomendaciones, explícitas e implícitas, de los promotores y organizaciones que promueven la producción, y el intento de llevar a cabo unas obras con rigor científico y sin limitaciones en la libertad de información.

Las telenovelas latinoamericanas marcaron un antes y un después en la ficción de España, específicamente en lo que a la producción propia se refiere. Estudiaremos el boom de la telenovela latinoamericana en España y cómo fue cediendo espacio al formato propio, y a día de hoy conviven ambas. El informe realizado por la Unesco acerca del fenómeno televisivo de masas latinoamericano y su influencia. Se analizarán tres ejemplos reales que han influido en la política venezolana, colombiana y argentina a través de transmitir mensajes con un cariz político en este formato o como pretexto. En Venezuela, partiendo de la presidencia de Chávez, se tratarán dos cuestiones desde diferentes perspectivas,la telenovela Teresa en tres estaciones que pretendía validar la República bolivariana. Y, la propaganda electoral ideológicamente opuesta. La telenovela El Chepe fortuna, causante de un leve problema diplomático entre Colombia y Venezuela. Se analizará Montecristo, un amor, una venganza, argentina, cuya temática del robo de bebés durante la dictadura militar insertado de manera fidedigna en la ficción, llevó consigo encontrar a nietos. La metodología consistirá en un análisis de series, estudios de caso, análisis de contenido, situación socio política del país productor de la serie, influencia e identificación de la serie en los televidentes y viceversa. Partiendo de una realidad social latente que necesita apoyarse en héroes que solucionan problemas colectivos que les afectan y les sobrepasan a nivel social. Como indica Bordieu, en "Pasión, heroicidad e identidades colectivas", o Acosta Alzuru, en sus aportaciones a este respecto en Venezuela.

Las series de ficción televisiva españolas se soportan de manera importante en personajes masculinos adultos de diversas características presentados en entornos variados (familia, trabajo, relaciones de pareja, vida social) y asociados a tramas diversas. Muchas coinciden en mostrar modelos actanciales recurrentes que tocan la pertenencia social, la raza o las preferencias sexuales y que no suelen faltar en las series corales. La comunicación que se propone tiene como objetivo analizar estos estereotipos de ficción en los personajes masculinos adultos de la serie televisiva Aída, una de las de mayor audiencia emitida en España en los últimos años.

Resumen En un mundo de grandes transformaciones tecnológicas en términos de comunicación, la existencia de modelos de comunidades que pueden identificarse como arcaicas y modernas, transforman los usos y aplicaciones de las tecnologías ofreciendo un espectro de estudio muy interesante. El concepto de “tecnologías rotas” acuñado por el doctor Fernando Flores de la Universidad de Lund, Suecia; permite establecer una taxonomía inicial para considerar las posibles relaciones y formas de interactuar de los individuos con las tecnologías. De esta manera, todas aquellas tecnologías que por distintos motivos dejan de utilizarse se convierten en “tecnologías rotas” lo cual no implica que nunca se vuelvan a usar, sino que se establece la sustitución por nuevas herramientas y formas diversas de ser aplicadas por los individuos. En este marco, los modelos sociales arcaicos, basados en el principio de retribución y los modelos sociales modernos que giran en función del principio de ganancia, gen...

Los movimientos sociales son formas de acción colectiva que pueden plantearse conceptualmente como expresiones de descontento que manifiestan exclusiones, injusticias o desigualdades frente a la realidad que viven los actores sociales. En este sentido, se convierten en comunidades imaginadas al proponer alternativas de realidad de cara a las hegemonías del poder y la cultura. Una perspectiva propositiva permite comprender los movimientos sociales como promotores de cambio hacia condiciones más justas de vida para todos, dado que denuncian marginaciones de clase, etnia o diversidad sexual, política o religiosa. Desde el statu quo, la lectura de la movilización social ha sido interpretada históricamente como disfuncional y perturbadora del &quot;orden&quot;, al considerar que la multitud desconoce la razón del desarrollo y el progreso; y por esto son las élites las llamadas a encauzar el rumbo de la masa. En este juego de representaciones y luchas, los medios de comunicación, y en esp...

Ante una de las más grandes amenazas del ser humano en materia de salud como lo es la diabetes mellitus, causante tan solo en México de 14 de cada cien fallecimientos (INEGI, 2012), los esfuerzos de las autoridades sanitarias han sido superados por el problema que implica para la población el crecimiento desmedido de la enfermedad. Dentro de las estrategias instrumentadas hace años, se ha llevado a cabo un ambicioso programa cuya base es la ayuda mutua: los clubes llamados "de auto ayuda" resultaron ser un factor crucial en el abordaje de la enfermedad con mayor índice de mortalidad desde la década de los noventas. Para garantizar el éxito en estos programas, se requiere la transmisión de un mensaje claro, conciso y llano, a manera que pueda ser comprensible por todos los pacientes. Considerando que un porcentaje importante de éstos son personas cuyas edades superan el medio siglo de existencia, (mexicomaxico.org, 2012), se torna fundamental la necesidad de instrumentar un programa de capacitación que, de forma clara pueda ayudarles a entender los alcances de la enfermedad. Al utilizar términos poco comprensibles para el paciente, surge el problema de la deserción y falta de control.

Aims: To identify and evaluate perceptions of parents of children with ASD at the time of diagnosis, and after receiving 2 years and 4 years ABA therapy. Method: The participants of the study are parents of 150 children who receive diagnosis or receive treatment in 2 years and who receive treatment in 4 years at the Regional Center for Autism. The research method used is quantitate by using questionnaires. All these parents have fulfilled the questionnaires about the perception of the diagnosis and perception of ABA therapy, questionnaire about self-efficacy, depression, anxiety level, hopelessness, readiness for change. The other used questionnaires are, Beck's Depression Inventory, Hopkins list of symptoms, Parenting Self-Efficacy Test, Beck Hopelessness Scale and Jurica instrument of Prochaska and Di-Clemente. Results and Discussion: Regarding the results of the study, as we expected, parental perceptions differ at the time of diagnosis, after 2 years, and 4 years of treatment. These differences were obvious regarding self-efficacy and parenting capacities, expectations from therapy, the willingness to change, emotional response from the situation, sense of hope. The main differences were found between the first group (time of diagnosis) and the second group (2 years of therapy), however we have found significant differences between all three groups mainly about expectations and sense of hope for the future, denial, despair, sense of guilt, family's coping skills, family and social support, hope in the therapy etc. We suggest that many factors might be the source for the differences that resulted including: cognitive and behavioural abilities of the autistic child, readiness for change, child age, existing parental problem, cohesion of the family. Further studies should be done in order to better understand how and the way these factors are integrated and influence parental perceptions.

This paper will model data into Meta-Tonic Design by a method which examines and locates meta-immersion. The data will be drawn from the films Blade Runner 2049 (dir:Villeneuve, 2017), Hard to be a God (dir:German, 2013), The Turin Horse (dir:Tarr, 2011) and the The Deserted (dir:Ming-liang, 2017) by considering the state of each artefact and how these elements behave in the presence of a formula prescribed through calculations made from specific indicators and additives.

The main objective of this study was to analyse the experience of grief and feelings of loss in family caregivers of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as the perceived overload from taking on the primary caregiver role. Twenty family caregivers of children with ASD participated. The family members were assessed using an ad-hoc semi-structured interview that addressed the families’ reactions to the diagnosis, implications for daily functioning, and concerns for the immediate and long-term future of their relatives with ASD. The results indicate that family caregivers of children with ASD endure intense and continuous sorrow and grief due to the impact that having and caring for a child with these characteristics has on all aspects of their lives. These data highlight the importance of creating support and intervention programmes and services focused on the feelings and manifestations of ambiguous grief that occur in these family members, in order to impr...

This is a mixed-methods study investigating parental satisfaction and wait times as parents inquire about an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis for their child in a Northern Ontario community. Satisfaction and wait times of those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by a single practitioner were compared to satisfaction and wait times of those diagnosed by the multidisciplinary assessment team in the Sudbury/Manitoulin region (the Autism Diagnostic Team; ADT). No significant differences were noted between groups on satisfaction or wait times. However, ADT group received much more consistent service, with less variation in wait times between clients, and more consistent provision of comprehensive services prior to the diagnostic meeting. Points of interest are noted for practitioners including increased wait times for parents of children with milder forms of ASD and for girls. No differences in wait time or satisfaction were noted between language groups. Content analysis...

Equal access for autism services remains suboptimal for diverse groups. In Canada, little is known about the barriers immigrant mothers face accessing services and support for their children with developmental disabilities. In this qualitative study, 21 immigrant mothers of children with Autism, from a diverse ethno cultural background, were interviewed in Toronto, Canada. We apply House&#39;s (1981) four domains of social support to analyze findings. Structural support challenges, such as delays in diagnosis, fragmented and dispersed services were common, followed by instrumental challenges due to loss of social ties and stigma. Lack of expected support from partners, and negative perceptions of services, were identified as emotional and perceptive challenges. Focused attention is required to address inequalities within the context of current access pathways for autism.

The diagnosis of a child with autism has short- and long-term impacts on family functioning. With early diagnosis, the diagnostic process is likely to co-occur with family planning decisions, yet little is known about how parents navigate this process. This study explores family planning decision making process among mothers of young children with autism spectrum disorder in the United States, by understanding the transformation in family vision before and after the diagnosis. A total of 22 mothers of first born children, diagnosed with autism between 2 and 4 years of age, were interviewed about family vision prior to and after their child&#39;s diagnosis. Grounded Theory method was used for data analysis. Findings indicated that coherence of early family vision, maternal cognitive flexibility, and maternal responses to diagnosis were highly influential in future family planning decisions. The decision to have additional children reflected a high level of adaptability built upon a s...

This paper will explore the nature of the long take as a metamodernist framework by establishing the two key terms of 'visual listening' and 'cinematic inclusion' to be designed through a working model that represents the ways by which these two terms can be inclusive of defining how an audience can engage with cinema through a third key term of 'unjectiveness'. This developed model will challenge both film philosophy and film theory to derive at a proposition that considers such perspectives to be redundant in understanding a long shot and, therefore, not applicable for coming to terms with the wider premise of making cinema. Later discussion will approach this as being inasmuch of cinema as it is to be of the film used through unjectiveness in understanding the role and impact of the long shot used to counter screen distraction and its effect on contemporary audiences that otherwise reduces the meaningfulness of durational screen experiences.

Depuis le début de la révolte en Syrie en 2011 et sa transformation en conflit armé, il est devenu impossible de se rendre sur place à moins de se conformer à un encadrement rapproché du régime de Bachar al-Assad dans les zones sous son contrôle, ce que de nombreux chercheurs refusent. Depuis lors, les travaux menés se délocalisent au sein des territoires de l’exil, à partir d’enquêtes menées dans les pays limitrophes de la Syrie ou en Europe. Cet éloignement forcé du terrain se relocalise également dans l’espace numérique et plus particulièrement sur le vaste territoire audiovisuel constitué par les nombreuses vidéos mises en ligne par des manifestants, des activistes et des groupes armés.

How to infer the digital media literacy competences of office workers related to distant teamwork from the observation of collaborative practices? This paper presents a qualitative method that combines deductive and inductive approaches to analyze interviews and observations carried out in ten organizations. From a deductive standpoint, our analysis is anchored in a review of the literature in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work. From an inductive standpoint , our analyses use principles from phenomenography and grounded theory to abstract a theoretical understanding of the studied experiences. The combination of these approaches allows us to examine the way workers experience distant teamwork activities and to consider how their competences reside in their ability to frame the work situations they encounter, and to develop responses accordingly.

This article reports on a work-in-progress research on media and information literacy in teamwork and distance work environments. We introduce a theoretical framework that articulates the social and informational dimensions of media and information literacy in the workplace. Based on this framework, we propose a method for investigating the relationship between information literacy and work organization in distant teamwork. This method is illustrated by preliminary data from our ongoing research project. We conclude with a necessary re-definition of the concept of information.

This paper is the first of two that seek to propose the establishment of a new singularity for the arts defined as a Post-neomodernism by examining the first five points of the ​ 'Post Neomodernist Manifesto' (2015). As the micro movements of Post-postmodernism, Neomodernism, and Metamodernism have established their own positions in an after Postmodernist context, therein lies an absence of a greater contextualisation to which a Post-neomodernism can establish and by this, approach a singularity in more holistic terms. Discussion will examine the context of a new absolute, the role of multiplicity in new relativism, the rise of post truth and the disruption of such instances through digital media.

The experience of public spaces in large cities often returns aggressive environments in which the citizen is deprived of the temporal space of the imagination. Different events in the city propitiate an environment of unidirectional stimuli. This situation is experimented as symbolic violence, and dismisses the creative perception of the citizens in favor of a perception completely guided by the network of unrecognized power relations. In the paper, different examples of sound installations and sound actions in the public space will be analyzed. Attention will be paid to the responses they allow to the citizens, as also to the works' repercussion in the social spaces of the city. The aim of the paper is oriented to elucidate different forms of sound art interventions in the public space. The recognition of the social public sphere, the triggering of an expanded experience of the city places and the double immersion of the citizen-user will be pointed out as directions to be considered.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an
essential part of contentious politics and social movements in contemporary
China. Although quite a few scholars have explored ICTs, contentious politics,
and collective action in China, they largely focus on the event-based analysis
of discrete contentious events, failing to capture, reflect, and assess most of
the political ferment in and around the routine use of digital media in people’s
everyday lives. This study proposes a broader research agenda by shifting the
focus from contentious events – ‘moments of madness’ – to ‘the politics of
mundanity’: the political dynamics in the mundanity of digitally mediated,
routine daily life. The agenda includes, first, the investigation of the dynamics
underlying the mundane use of digital media, which not only places the use
of ICTs in contentious moments into ‘a big picture’ to understand the political
potential of mundane use of ICTs, but also reveals ‘everyday resistance,’ or less
publicly conspicuous tactics, as precursors of open, confrontational forms
of contentious activity. Second, the agenda proposes the examination of
mundane experiences to understand the sudden outburst of contention
and digital media as the ‘repertoire of contention.’ Third, the agenda
scrutinizes the adoption of mundane expressions of contentious challenges
to authoritarian regimes, as they allow for the circumvention of the heavy
censorship of collective action mobilization. Mundane expressions have
thereby emerged as a prominent part of the mobilization mechanism of
contention in China. Addressing ‘the politics of mundanity’ will provide a
nuanced understanding of ICTs and contentious collective action in China.

Background The diagnostic process for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult for families. Growing evidence suggests that the diagnostic process may vary as a function of sociodemographic factors, such as socioeconomic status. The purpose of this study was to extend findings related to families' experiences obtaining a diagnosis and accessing services for their young child with ASD. Method A mixed methods approach was used in this study, in which 46 families with children with ASD participated. A chisquare analysis compared ratings of parental satisfaction with the diagnostic process and current services between sociodemographic groups, and this was supplemented by thematic analysis of relevant open-ended questions. Results Results indicated that satisfaction ratings varied significantly by maternal education and family income levels. Ratings of satisfaction with the child's paediatrician also differed by family income. Major themes from the open-ended questions are discussed.

Background Raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) implies significant stress levels and changes in family functioning. Most studies deal with parental difficulties, whereas those focusing on parental self-reported support needs related to ASD are fewer, especially in France. Our objective was to explore in a French sample the needs of parents of children with ASD so as to provide recommendations for support. Method Parents were interviewed (N = 162, including 84 controls), and content analysis was performed from parental responses. Results Six dimensions of need emerged: material, information, guidance, daily management, relational support, and emotional support. Needs priorities were different for parents with a child with ASD involving the transmission of knowledge and skills as well as emotional and relational support. Conclusions This study highlights the need to develop support programs focused on the needs of the parents that reflect educational, behavioural, and psychological dimensions.

Autism has a unique history. The definition has broadened and changed over time, from an emotional disturbance with psychogenic origins to a neurodevelopmental disability with suspected environmental and genetic origins. Diagnosis occurs later than children born with obvious disabilities such as cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, but earlier than milder, high-incidence disabilities such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder. Historically, parents have advocated for changes in the way children with autism receive services and how federal funding and educational services are provided. There is often tension between these parents and the medical establishment. There can also be tension between the community of parents and the community of adults who have high functioning autism and Asperger syndrome. Studies have examined individual aspects of autism, from the diagnosis, caring for a child with autism, educational interventions, and genetics to characteristics of the internet community of adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This study includes interviews with mothers whose children were diagnosed with autism between 1974 and 2004, observations of appointments with developmental pediatricians at which diagnoses were given in 2010, and an analysis of media representations of autism over the same time period. These different data were analyzed together to create a new understanding about the history and present state of autism diagnosis.

Resumen: Los medios de comunicación (mass media) crean imaginarios sociales: nos enseñan a pensar sobre qué es el mundo, la sociedad o qué son las relaciones humanas. En los últimos años, la televisión se convierte cada vez más en espejo del sujeto social, creando un circuito cerrado entre medio y espectadores en el que apenas queda una apertura para otras realidades.

ABSTRACT
This paper begins from the basic premise that in considering digital
media and its multifarious relations with forms of protest and
political mobilization, we are interested in social change. Yet, too often, the key ingredient of protest and political mobilization – the radical politics itself – is left out of our analyses. How can we begin to tackle the challenges posed to democratic politics if we do not talk about actual politics as part of our research? This problem is both conceptual and practical. A politics requires a practice. We cannot understand the nature of the practice without understanding its politics; we cannot understand the politics without appreciating its processes and organization. Yet, so many
studies do just this. This paper argues that a fugitive politics limits
our abilities to take progressive thought and action forward. By ignoring the actual politics, we end up depoliticizing counter politics because we offer precious few suggestions as to how we can do democratic politics better. Without an understanding of the conditions under which a Left progressive politics could develop then the politics itself threatens to remain ill defined. What might it mean then to put the development of a counter politics at the heart of our analyses? What are the conditions required (including the communicative conditions) for radical political organizations/collectives to endure, build capacity and effect social change?
