Sam, TBL did not give us 'this world which we are supposed to be researching researching' in its present state. Personally I don't see where his great insight into the web comes from. To make what might be a very poor comparison..one would not automatically assume that someone who has developed and refined the technology behind television to have a great understanding of how television programmes are produced and how they impact on the consuming public. For all his achievements, I think it is wrong to suggest that he is somehow more qualified than people who have dedicated many years to the kind of rigorous study he is only now proposing. 'TBL has more stature than the bulk of us and comments below do not show collegiality and cross-disciplinarity to the world community' I'd contend that conventional social scientists are better placed to explore this sphere than TBL. It is not a lack of collegiality to point out that TBL is not inventing the wheel with these kinds of proposals. I also wouldn't think that his statements about what the web 'should be' are especially helpful in conducting research and explaining what currently is. Martin Calvert

4S in Vancouver
by Michele White 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi Folks, It is such a pleasure to see these conversations developing in a variety of locations. I look forward to seeing everyone in Vancouver and hope that we can also facilitate meetings at other conferences. Are there other venues that might attract people from AoIR?. I will be attending the Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference and the College Art Association conference early in 2007. Have we fully discussed connecting with interest groups in other academic organizations? All my best, Michele

Re: [Air-l] online jihad

Birgit Braeuchler has done some interesting anthropological research in Indonesia that is partly on this subject . Her recent book is in German but she's also published in English, eg. Islamic radicalism online: The Moluccan mission of the Laskar Jihad in cyberspace Auteur(s) / Author(s) BRÄUCHLER Birgit (1) ; Affiliation(s) du ou des auteurs / Author(s) Affiliation(s) (1) University of Munich, ALLEMAGNE Résumé / Abstract The Internet has become an important instrument for the information politics of radical Muslim groups. This paper focuses on one of the Islamist groups that have emerged in Indonesia recently-the Communication Forum of the Followers of the Sunnah and the Community of the Prophet (FKAWJ). The FKAWJ sent its fighters, the so-called Laskar Jihad or Jihad troop/fighters, to Ambon in April 2000 to help their Muslim brothers against the 'Christian attackers' in the Moluccan conflict-a conflict that was also extended into cyberspace by several actors. Describing the Internet presence of the Laskar Jihad, I give an example of how Islamism is being transferred into cyberspace. The position of the FKAWJ concerning the situation in the Moluccas is outlined as well as other (online) strategies used. Through these strategies the cyber actors create an image and construct an identity that is congruent with their offline philosophy but extends its reach. It is evident that the online level is highly interconnected with the offline level. When analysing contemporary Islamism it is essential to take both levels into account.
