But these big corporate digital platforms are also used to spread disinformation, racism, and abuse. \u003ci\u003eAppropriate, Negotiate, Challenge\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the relationship between activism and technology, focusing on how activists think and talk about technology's role in social change and what this tells us about the politics of digital technologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Researching movements in Italy, Hungary, and the United States, Elisabetta Ferrari examines how leftist activists construct technological imaginaries that appropriate, negotiate, and challenge Silicon Valley's vision of technology. She argues that these imaginaries reflect and shape the politics of social movements: they matter for how activists think about their political possibilities. Ultimately, Ferrari centers the political and imaginative work that activists need to perform in order to navigate the politics of mainstream digital technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabetta Ferrari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520402022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520402027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elisabetta Ferrari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173143400703,"sku":"9780520402027","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d195499-7d1b-4e07-8f9a-6e1280796751.jpg?v=1727180117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/appropriate-negotiate-challenge-elisabetta-ferrari-9780520402027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
