This understanding stands in tension with a variety of practices of disobedience involving forms of disruption and direct confrontation often classified as violent and aiming at a more radical transformation of the existing system - while still cla iming to be civil. In this talk I will first problematize mainstream under standings of the ‘civil’ in ‘civil disobedience’ and then turn to digital disobedience as a set of practices that exemplifies the complex reality of disobedience - a reality that raises a series of conceptual\, normative a nd political challenges for thinking about digital disobedience as civil\, including questions of anonymity\, public justification and political eff ectivity.\n DTSTART:20160407T213000Z DTEND:20160407T230000Z LOCATION:W-215\, Arts Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0G5\, 853 rue She rbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Speaker Series | Robin Celikates | 'Can Digital Disobedience Be Civ il?'
