Abstrakti

In this article Iwill explore a number of related, activist forms of politics that could not have come about without the existence of a range of internet technologies. From these Iwill draw general propositions for a tentative and complex view on the Internet and politics. Iwill outline three figures of virtual politics, or ‘hacktivism’: mass embodied online protest; internet infra­structure and information politics; and communicative practices and activity organising. Through these figures Ihope to exemplify some of the complexity of politics that has collided with the Internet and, by the end, make proposals for more general conclusions.
