New media and internet activism

There is a good article available through Ingenta -

"New media and internet activism: from the ‘Battle of Seattle’ to blogging",
by Richard Kahn and Douglas Kellner, in new media & society, Vol6 (1): 87–95, 2004

"The examples in this article suggest how new media developments in
technoculture make possible a reconfiguring of politics and culture and a
refocusing of politics on everyday life. In this conjuncture, the ideas of Guy
Debord and the Situationist International are especially relevant, with their
stress on the construction of situations, use of technology, media of
communication, and cultural forms to promote a revolution of everyday life,
and to increase the realm of freedom, community, and empowerment."
