mobile technologies in particular are becoming more and more important here - from their uses amongst the anti-globalisation protests in europe (assorted articles can be found in the british press, at least), to events such as the phillipine coup: http://www.uchicago.edu/research/jnl-pub-cult/current/rafael.html i also have text and images of european-based text-messaging campaigns for political action and activism, if you want to contact me off-list. famously, one british minister at the time of the fuel protests in britain, where mobiles were widely used, remarked of the earlier thatcher-era strikes, "if the miners had had mobiles, they would have won." nicola
