?:abstract
  • This chapter presents a case study of a prominent communicative conflict shaped mainly by Internet-based political activism. The first part gives an account of the case, paying attention to Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg's attempts at handling the crisis. The chapter expresses that (a) the speed and thoroughness with which the activists worked, (b) the indisputability of their results due to impartiality and transparency and (c) the anonymity and loose collectivity of the swarm members undercut 'traditional' strategies, such as 'accusing the accuser'/'playing for time'. Guttenberg case illustrates how different elements of Internet activism come together. It demonstrates the use of web technology for organisational purposes and participation, the establishment of an alternative source of information, the coordination of online and offline activities, and the conduct of a symbolic political conflict going the idea of simply communicating an issue in public discussion. Public criticism returned again and again to activist anonymity, which was seen as facilitating 'swarm intelligence' but also 'swarm gutlessness'. (xsd:string)
