Community without Community in Digital Culture: An interview with Charlie Gere.

"I advocate a more 'non-relational' approach that does not deny the transformative effects of new media in terms of community, but thinks of it more in terms of hospitality to the other." Marc Garrett interviews Charlie Gere on Digital Culture in the Twenty-first Century with reference to two of his books, Digital Culture (2002) and Community without Community in Digital Culture (2012). Gere is a Professor of Media Theory and History in the Lancaster Institute for Contemporary Arts, Lancaster University.

McCain discusses how capitalism has become on the one hand all encompassing and on the other utterly unreal.

On Amorphous Politics by Patrick Lichty

Patrick Lichty's article explores shifts toward new forms of sociopolitical dissent. Such as cellular forms or resistance including asymmetrical warfare like global insurgencies, the use of social media. Examples would be Twitter and Facebook in their ability to lens dissent for actions in Syria, Egypt and Tunisia, Wikileaks and its ability to mirror, and politics that use anarchistic forms of collective action such as the Occupy Movement, what he calls an amorphous politics of dissent.
