About "Mobilising for Action"
Mobilising for Action is about challenging and being challenged by how information functions; it is about negotiating the nature of information in mobilising globally and locally.
The idea of online organising has itself had to undergo revision considering how mass mobilisations in the Arab revolutions, the Tea Party, the Occupy movements and the global network called Anonymous, have been conducted. They've all demonstrated the rise of a new kind of articulate public that is tactical, well coordinated and flexible in a manner that traditional top-down organising has not been.
Mobilising for Action evaluates the various claims made about social media and takes on troubling questions about the dynamics of information flows.
