Overview. NEW! Download the dissertation or dissertation chapters! These web pages were designed as a companion to my dissertation on Hacktivism and the Future of Political Participation, for the Ph.D. in Political Science at Harvard University. This dissertation was supervised by Sidney Verba and Torben Iversen of Harvard University, and Richard Johnston of the University of British Columbia. The dissertation looks at the phenomenon of hacktivism: the marriage of political activism and computer hacking. Based on fifty-one interviews with people who are directly or indirectly involved in hacktivism, the dissertation is the first interview-based study of hacktivists and hacktivist practices. The primary purpose of these pages is to make it easy to find the sources mentioned in the dissertation, particularly those that are online. Meanwhile, thanks again to the many folks who very generously agreed to speak (or e-mail, or IRC) with me.

Un Bricophone, un projet de téléphones mobiles “libres” à très bas couts pour téléphoner, gratuitement, en réseau maillé… Des ateliers pour fabriquer des écrans tactiles “Multitouch“, un transmetteur FM USB, ou encore des circuit bending, du nom donné aux bidouillages (ou “court-circuitages”) de jouets électroniques afin de les transformer en instruments de musiques expérimentaux.

Le premier “Hacker Space Festival (HSF), comme son nom ne l’indique pas, se déroule jusqu’à ce dimanche 22 juin dans un atelier d’artiste, au sous-sol d’un ancien entrepôt de la zone industrielle de Vitry-sur-Seine, en banlieue parisienne (il est aussi plus ou moins retransmis sur justin.tv). A quoi ressemblerait l’internet sans hackers ? Les policiers n’avaient aucune preuve. Il existe plusieurs dizaines de hacklabs dans le monde. Carmin Karasic - Electronic Portfolio. Ricardo Dominguez.
