Agencies and anonymity: about the experience of Anonymous
Keywords:
Anonymous, agenciamento, anonimatoAbstract
The objective of this work is to reflect on the experience of Anonymous, problematizing its operation, the creation of links and the way of acting. Anonymous is a kind of political group with no predetermined leadership that has been responsible for various actions and protests in recent years, both in the digital environment and outside. First, it is the context of emergence and some actions of Anonymous, which help to discuss their actions, reflecting on the assemblies that configure it. Next, we discuss the participation of the subjects and the question of anonymity.Downloads
