Abstract:
|
A New Year’s Eve uprising nearly a decade ago linked two strikingly different communities: a network of technology leaders in urban Mexico, the United States, and Europe with isolated, indigenous peasants in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas. This is a study of the community they created and the communications medium that allowed them to construct it together. Understanding that process illuminates the role of technology in revolutionary media, updating the understanding of both media determinism and revolutionary media. Relying on archives of rebel communiqués and list serves that linked the insurgency in Chiapas to cyberspace supporters, with context from contemporaneous mainstream news reports, this study follows developments from the perspective of the participants, the neighbors of the “imagined” Zapatista community. |
