Cyber-Urban activism
My article entitled “Cyber-Urban Activism and Political Change in Indonesia” has just been published in Re:Activism issue of the Eastbound. Eastbound, a peer reviewed journal published in print and online, aims to create an international platform for Western and Eastern European researchers engaged in the multidisciplinary field of media and cultural studies. It features articles, reviews and interviews dealing with social and political implications of the rise of entertainment media and mediated popular culture, the appearance of global media players, and the spread of new forms of politics and information technologies.
The Re:Activism issue is actually a selection of papers followed up from Re:Activism conference held last year in Budapest.
My own article deals with the politics of space and spatiality of politics by looking at the interaction between cyberactivism and urban activism and how cyber-networks are extended to social networks in urban setting.

Dear Merlyna
I’ve just come across your blog after reading Fatih’s entry about yours. What an interesting thesis you wrote, Mer. As a “cyber” enthusiast myself, I have never met a fellow Indonesian with expertise like yours. It’s such a privilege to get to know your works, Merlyna.
Best wishes,
Jennie S. Bev
mer: thanks for your nice words, Jennie. feel honored to be visited by you.
