Thursday March 1st
Paul Attallah Keynote Lecture – 7:00-8:30 pm (Le Salon) Profiling Anonymous Agents of activism and naughty mischief, Anonymous has been a constant fixture in the news due to their blizzard of interventions from taking down half a dozen websites in a single day to protest web censorship to assisting the historic revolutions in the Middle East and Africa. Drawing on three years of ethnographic research, this talk will examine Anonymous's profile in the media and the speaker's role in mediating between an anonymous collective and a media enterprise unable, so far, to fully unveil the mystery behind the mask.
