nettime: Internet and Castor-demonstrations |
here a little message left by Eveline Lubbers on Nettime.nl Yesterday NRC-Handelsblad gave a summary of what Der Spiegel wrote about the resistance against the Castor-transports. Next to lesbian farmers and the Madonna fanclub against nuclear transports, the following interesting passage: 'New is the role that the Internet plays in modern campaigning. Blocking campaigners and police spokespersons appear to overload journalists every hour with a fload of information, with which they are being supported by sympathizers that stayed at home. Characterizing for the latter according to Der Spiegel is their great creativity: do demonstrators in the street form an anonymous mass of like-minded, a 'demonstration in cyberspace' is an expression of individualists that, not hindered by helicopters and watercanons, want to give a striking opinion.' * -- * distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission * <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, * collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets * more info: majordomo@is.in-berlin.de and "info nettime" in the msg body * URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: nettime-owner@is.in-berlin.de
