Description

Activism on the Web explores the complex tensions political activists face within the increasingly commercialized landscape of web technologies. As digital tools become central to social movements, this book examines how these tools also serve the interests of digital capitalism. Through detailed anthropological and ethnographic research, the text investigates three distinct political groups located in the UK, Italy, and Spain. This comparative approach provides a deep look into how different movements navigate the digital world. The research sheds light on the relationship between contemporary social protest and internet technologies, a dimension that remains under-investigated in current academic studies. Readers will learn how activists' everyday internet uses are shaped by constant negotiation with commercial platforms. This book is a valuable resource for those studying communication, sociology, and the evolving impact of technology on political engagement and social change.
