Even more striking is the way Armstrong associates this general complex in Nancy's writing with his concern for what Nancy calls the retreat of the political. Armstrong highlights what Nancy's perspective on networks reveals about movement politics as seen in the 1999 protests in Seattle against the World Trade Organization, the impact of technology on citizenship, and finally how this perspective critiques the model of networked communism constructed by Hardt and Negri. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContesting the exclusive link between technology and networks, \u003ci\u003eReticulations\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately demonstrates how network society creates an entirely new politics, one surprisingly rooted in community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816654905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816654901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 160","brand":"Philip Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086950117631,"sku":"9780816654901","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1055899-a18e-46d8-8d05-45d217ea9230.jpg?v=1769097430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reticulations-philip-armstrong-9780816654901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
