Descripción
Sumario:After tactical media became less important, many media activist projects repositioned themselves: in the context of biopolitics they challenge the hegemony of biopower. This volume contains theoretical and empirical contributions to a conference on issues of media activism and biopolitics which has been organized by Innsbruck Media Studies in 2010. Theorists and activists describe and analyze media, whose goal is to enable resistance against regimes of biopower. The control of mobility and visibility, the biopolitics of death, the creation of virtual subjects and chimeras as well as biopolitical production are areas in which activists have intervened and gave rise to a theoretical discourse to which this volume contributes.
Nachdem die taktischen Medien mit Web 2.0 an Bedeutung verloren haben, positionierten sich viele medienaktivistische Projekte neu: im Kontext der Biopolitik fordern sie die Hegemonie der Biomacht heraus. Dieser Band enthält theoretische und empirische Beiträge einer Tagung, die von Innsbruck Media Studies 2010 zum Thema Medienaktivismus und Biopolitik veranstaltet wurde. TheoretikerInnen und AktivistInnen beschreiben und analysieren darin Medien, deren Ziel es ist, Widerstand gegen Regime der Biomacht möglich zu machen. Die Kontrolle von Mobilität und Sichtbarkeit, die Biopolitik des Todes, die Erzeugung von virtuellen Subjekten und Chimären sowie die biopolitische Produktion sind Bereiche, in denen AktivistInnen interveniert haben und die Anlass zu einem Theoriediskurs gaben, zu dem dieser Band beiträgt. Mit Beiträgen von Pau Alsina, Clemens Apprich, Joshua Atkinson, Suzanne V.L. Berg, Geoff Cox, Alessandro Delfanti, Eddie Glenn, Carolyn Guertin, Cliff Hammett, Valerie Hartouni, Theo Hug, jan jagodzinski, Alexandra Jönsson, Andreas Oberprantacher, Etienne Pelaprat, Raquel Rennó, Claudia Schwarz und Roy Wagner.
Notas:Papers presented at the conference held in November 2010.
