“…For the resource-poor protestors, the image of embodied protests is usually the only raw material and resource that they own and the Internet is usually the first and foremost channel for mediated spectacles, to provoke public indignation and to increase public sympathy for protesters (Krastev, 2014). In other words, the mediatized images of embodied protests guarantee the visibility of the protests (D’Arcus, 2013) and this visibility guarantees the protestor’s ‘right to be seen’ and the public’s ‘right to look’ (Mirzoeff, 2006). In this sense, images ‘are no longer only the medium by which we communicate our political activities, but have also become an end in themselves: the very stuff that politics is made of’ (Bottici, 2014: 106).…”

The performative body treats the body as a potential site of resistance. Situated in the specific Chinese context, this study explores the female performative body and its emotional, spatial, and visual manifestation in the embodied protests. Particularly, this article uses Ye Haiyan, a famous Internet celebrity in China, as a particular case to illustrate how the deployment of the performative body can provide a site of embodied protests in a specific Chinese context, why it is reasonable and possible, and what is its implication. By examining Ye Haiyan’s bodily practices, this article illustrates how Ye Haiyan turns her body into a site of struggle and a political resource, how she deploys her body as a weapon to evoke broader emotional and moral resonances, and how she provokes Internet users to spectate, interpret, and imitate her body images, making possible a space of appearance in cyberspace. The article finally discusses its possible contribution and limitation.

“…In Political Geography there were just three hits. Paper 1 (D'Arcus 2003, 415) had the word ‘children’ in its abstract: ‘300 American Indian men, women and children were massacred in 1890 at Wounded Knee’. The second, by Morrill, contained: ‘Loss in Democratic support was greatest in suburban areas dominated by families with children’ (1998, 761).…”

This article challenges the absence of young people from Political Geography. It shows how in many parts of the world young people are in an in-between space politically and legally. This article suggests that the geographically divergent liminal positioning of young people within political-legal structures and institutional practices is what makes them extremely interesting political subjects. I argue for a deconstruction of the generally accepted binary of capital P Politics and lower case p politics. Using an illustration from a non-Western geography, I argue that young people can do more than act politically in the interstices of this binary; they can in fact meld and blend both elements. Taking young people seriously may well create new definitions of the political and demonstrate other ways of conceptualising geopolitics and political geographies.

“…The second is Bauwens’s (2005) insight into ‘peer-to-peer’ phenomena. Finally, the article also draws on the literature on ‘how […] expressions of public dissent travel across space’ (D’Arcus, 2006: 15, emphasis in the original) and how states respond to contain them.…”

“…In other words, central to contentious politics is a spatial tug-of-war between, on the one hand, participants who are trying to secure necessary spaces for their expressions of contention and utilise the spaces to a maximum effect (Lee, 2009a; Lim, 2014; Staeheli et al, 2009) and, on the other hand, the state trying to contain the spread of such expressions. D’Arcus (2006) points out that strategies and tactics for the latter include drawing boundaries and erecting fences to limit access and mobility, reorganising the geography of planning and development, and distinguishing legitimate protests from illegitimate disorders and riots through use of legal, administrative and customary means. Dikeç’s (2004) study, for example, shows how the French state establishes, through discursive articulations, incidents of unrest in social housing neighbourhoods in suburbs ( banlieues ) in the 1990s as ‘violence’ and the areas as ‘menace’.…”

D’Arcus (2006) aptly terms such delineation attempts as processes of ‘quarantining dissent’ (p. 163).…”

The fragile beauty of peer-to-peer activism: The public campaign for the rights of media consumers in South Korea

In South Korea, the oligopoly of three conservative media conglomerates, popularly dubbed Chojoongdong, has been identified as a hindrance to the country's democratic consolidation. This issue came to the fore during the mass candlelight protests in Seoul in 2008 against the then newly elected conservative government's resumption of American beef imports despite public concern over the credibility of US food regulation. Born out of the beef protests was a peer-to-peer (P2P) network of individual citizens who called for media reform, condemning what they saw as Chojoongdong's biased dominance of public discourse. Based on an ethnographic study of the inception and evolution of this digitally mediated network, Eonsoju, from 2008 to 2013, this article discusses the spatial opportunities and institutional challenges of digital activism. Eonsoju initially demonstrated a considerable potential of a P2P model for activism, but it soon had to compromise its structural and operational strengths due to legal pressures.
