Описание: What is Hacktivism? In The Coming Swarm, rising star Molly Sauter examines the history, development, theory, and practice of distributed denial of service actions as a tactic of political activism. The internet is a vital arena of communication, self expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message to convey, words to get out, or people to unify, many will turn to the internet as a theater for that activity. As familiar and widely accepted activist tools—petitions, fundraisers, mass letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others—find equivalent practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? With a historically grounded analysis, and a focus on early deployments of activist DDOS as well as modern instances to trace its development over time, The Coming Swarm uses activist DDOS actions as the foundation of a larger analysis of the practice of disruptive civil disobedience on the internet.

Описание:
In The Spatial Reformation, Michael J. Sauter offers a sweeping history of the way Europeans conceived of three-dimensional space, including the relationship between Earth and the heavens, between 1350 and 1850. He argues that this "spatial reformation" provoked a reorganization of knowledge in the West that was arguably as important as the religious Reformation. Notably, it had its own sacred text, which proved as central and was as ubiquitously embraced: Euclid's Elements. Aside from the Bible, no other work was so frequently reproduced in the early modern era. According to Sauter, its penetration and suffusion throughout European thought and experience call for a deliberate reconsideration not only of what constitutes the intellectual foundation of the early modern era but also of its temporal range. The Spatial Reformation contends that space is a human construct: that is, it is a concept that arises from the human imagination and gets expressed physically in texts and material objects. Sauter begins his examination by demonstrating how Euclidean geometry, when it was applied fully to the cosmos, estranged God from man, enabling the breakthrough to heliocentrism and, by extension, the discovery of the New World. Subsequent chapters provide detailed analyses of the construction of celestial and terrestrial globes, Albrecht Dürer's engraving Melencolia, the secularization of the natural history of the earth and man, and Hobbes's rejection of Euclid's sense of space and its effect on his political theory. Sauter's exploration culminates in the formation of a new anthropology in the eighteenth century that situated humanity in reference to spaces and places that human eyes had not actually seen. The Spatial Reformation illustrates how these disparate advancements can be viewed as resulting expressly from early modernity's embrace of Euclidean geometry.

Описание: In nineteen forty eight, when I was a mere sapling of eight, I was reared in the provincial Buchanan Valley of Adams County, a rifle shot fromGettysburg, Pennsylvania, and some fifty years removed from Philadelphia.All elementary students in our valley were reluctantly incarcerated in a two room schoolhouse of eight grades of mostly mayhem named Strasbaugh School, full of tight fisted boys and precocious giggling girls; an environment wherein a six year old ruffian could enthusiastically learn thewicked ways of the eighth grade boys, and the six year old girls would . . . but never mind that now. Suffice it to say, this was not a setting approved by the "sorcerer of souls", Father Genovese, a demonic Catholic priest whose shepherdship invaded and pervaded every moral fiber of the valley's faithful residents. His actions and the directives of the diocese were vehemently opposed by a revered, crusty octogenarian named Monkey Kump, the other principal in this memoir, who was born shortly after his father fought at the Battle of Gettysburg, and was a cantankerous opinionated jokesmither, folkliar and soothsayer, whose addiction to alcohol, profuse profanity and a tendency toward insanity, instantly marked him as my mentor. Along the cherubic protagonist's barbed and brambles odyssey, he is raped at school by a female upper classmate, battered by a hurricane, accidently observes an adult lesbos love tryst, survives a torrid love scene with a comely adolescent Jewish queen, is excommunicatedfrom the Catholic Church, survives a brawl with the valley's venomous bully, and observes a violent homicide at the South Mountain Fair. This satirical, lyrical, irreverent and hilarious memoir is not for the faint of heart. Portions deal with profanity and romance in a slightly naughty and bawdy manner, in a raucous setting, during the innocence of the Eisenhower years. "And I alone escaped to tell thee."
