Resistance 2.0:   Mobilizing Social Capital Through Personal Networks in Support of Political Movements

 

Dr. Saman Talib

 

2007 Graduate of SC&I Ph.D. Program and Associate Professor, School of Media and Communication, Beaconhouse National University, Lahore, Pakistan


Tuesday, November 17

6:10 to 7:30 p.m.

SC&I Building Faculty Lounge - Room 323

 

November 4, 2007 was witness to a very unusual sight in Pakistan: hundreds of students marching in a political protest. The protest was launched at a small, elite university called Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and the students were protesting the arrest of faculty members in the aftermath of the Emergency declared in Pakistan the previous day. This sight of students protesting was to become increasingly familiar as the weeks of Emergency dragged on.

 

What makes this time particularly interesting was the media blackout imposed by the government during the Emergency. An additional source of complication was the strong response of the military government to all forms of dissent during this time. So the students were faced with many challenges: lack of mass media to approach, need for anonymity, and the need to organize and evolve rapidly.  This left these students with no other means to organize but through social networks. The most logical channel of organization turned out to be the personal new communication technologies these students had access to, particularly the World Wide Web – in the form of emails, a blog, social networking sites including YouTube – and their cell phones. 

 

This talk will pay special attention to the participation and leadership of women in this movement. This is an important perspective because, in a gender segregated society such as Pakistan, the visibility of females was a strong visual representation of the depth of resistance felt by the young citizens of the country.  The talk will consider how women were encouraged and challenged in the formation of this movement—especially how female participation and leadership was facilitated by the virtual nature of the movement.

 

Sponsored by the SC&I Ph.D. Program, the Rutgers Journalism Resources Institute, the Rutgers Center for Media Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers.
