| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation is an ethnographic account of the information and communication technologies used by networked social movements, particularly Occupy, to communicate and coordinate campaigns and actions. Studying networked social movements is difficult because they diverge from the classic theories of social movement formation due to their lack of leaders, capacity to mobilize large groups quickly, decentralized decision-making, and heavy reliance on networked communication technologies. Networked social movements gain coherence by leveraging the connective capacity of information and communication technologies to forge new social solidarities across space, time, and ideologies.
