https://www.facebook.com/events/554102854612367/ Abstract:The general
purpose of the presentation is to advance knowledge of the spatiality of
contemporary political movements. In focus are power relations between a
political movement as a non-state actor and the state, in an era when the
spread of information and communication technology are predominantly seen
as undermining state power. However, what happens in digital space is
deeply implicated by the cultures, material practices and imaginaries held
by the producers of the internet news, blogs and images, and their
capabilities built over time. Under discussion is an armed political
resistance movement whose possibilities are amplified by the use of digital
technologies in the battlefield while confronting the government that is
still fixated in the 20th century ideas of territorial sovereignty and
military power.Key words: social networks, mobilities, power, military,
territoriality, communication power, digital, Myanmar, Kachin---------Karin
