Bemused to see Dr. Abdulla contribute another instance of something I noted at the academic meetup Biella called at CCC. If I was wearing my anthropology hat and doing grounded coding of utterances, I would definitely create a meta-category of "self-deprecation immediately following the use of the term 'hacker.'" I'm interested in how the invocation of "the hacker" leads people to dismiss their own technological skills as lacking! I've been attending hacker conferences since 2002 and I don't code or break into things, but I am still a contributing member of the community. You might be surprised at how welcoming parts of the hacker community can be to non-technical people. Dr. Abdulla, my YouTube media and digital literacy show did two brief episodes on the traditional meanings of "hacking" within the computer community, with two high-profile hacker community organizers, Emmanuel Goldstein and Mitch Altman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vjMnUX6v4M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoDOrKZK3Kg (Note that these skew toward the more positive view of hacking, as many hackers see themselves.) Hope those are of interest!

While I'm not enough of a caliber to join the hacking mailing list, I was wondering if you guys know of a good educational video that I can show my (undergraduate) students about hacking. I'm not interested in a how to video:), but rather something regarding the uses and effects thereof.
Thanks a lot in advance. Rasha

Hi all,
Many of us who went to the Chaos Computer Club camp in Germany met to discuss the study of hacking (whether through scholarly, activist or artistic work). We have created a mailing list to continue the discussion and plan for future meetings. Please join if you are interested
