The Relationship

The relationship between social movements and formal organizations has long been a concern to scholars of collective action. Many have argued that social movement organizations (SMOs) provide resources that facilitate movement emergence, while others have highlighted the ways in which SMOs institutionalize or coopt movement goals. Through an examination of the relationship between Occupy Wall Street and the field of SMOs in New York City, this article illustrates a third possibility: that a moment of insurgency becomes a more enduring movement in part through the changes it induces in the relations among the SMOs in its orbit.

New Generation

Something of a revolution in anarchist thought occurred during the 1940s and early 1950s, much of it centered in New York City. World War II divided the small contingent of U.S. anarchists active during the Depression years, as many movement veterans reluctantly endorsed the Allies as the only viable means of defeating fascism. However, a new generation of activists -- many of them recent college graduates -- established journals and organizations that rejected participation in the war, often on pacifist grounds, and that began to reevaluate central tenets of anarchist theory. This chapter explores the milieu that developed in New York City, Woodstock, NY, and rural New Jersey at mid-century, focusing on three "little magazines" that supported and influenced one another: Politics, Why?, and Retort. Although anarchism was at a numerical nadir during these years, a tight-knit community of artists, theorists, and radical pacifists developed ideas, tactics, and aesthetics that reshaped anarchism so fundamentally that they remain prominent today in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations.

Med udgangspunkt i et lokalt hackerfællesskab på Manhattan i New York City udforskes i denne artikel de sociale og politiske omstændigheder, der udspiller sig i udviklingen af software til politiske formål. Hackerfællesskabet definerer sig selv som en del af Den Progressive Bevægelse, en venstreorienteret bevægelse, der er inspireret af institutionelt uafhængige og decentraliserede politiske bevægelser som Occupy Wall Street, men alligevel arbejder for at få politikere, som de er enige med, valgt ind i etablerede politiske embedspositioner. Hackerfællesskabet mødes for at (videre)udvikle open source-software, der skal bidrage til det progressive politiske projekt. Det er tidligere blevet beskrevet i antropologisk litteratur, hvordan open source-softwarehackerfællesskaber lader sig guide af en bestemt liberalt inspireret hackermoral, men ved Den Politiske Hack Night introduceres ligeledes et progressivt ideal om inklusion som et ledende aspekt i organiseringen. Denne artikel undersøger således, hvad der sker, når hackerfællesskaber opstår i kraft af en venstreorienteret politisk agenda og dermed udformer sig i skæringspunktet mellem hacking af open source-software og progressiv politik. I forlængelse af dette argumenterer artiklen for, at denne form for politisk motiveret hacking kan forstås i lyset af Claude Lévi-Strauss’ begreb bricolage, da denne form for hacking forener umiddelbart modsatrettede idealer i et samlet repertoire, der skaber rammerne for den sociale og politiske aktivitet omkring hackerfællesskabet. Vores analyse illustrerer endvidere, hvordan de forskellige politiske og moralske dele af vores informanters repertoire løbende er til forhandling og kontinuerligt udvikles i relation til hinanden inden for rammerne af den eksisterende bricolage. Søgeord: hacking, politik, progressivisme, inklusion, open source-software, bricolage
