Protocol, or, How Control Exists after Decentralization

Novas dimensões da política: protocolos e códigos na esfera pública interconectada

“…Alexander Galloway (2004) não trabalha com o conceito de arquitetura, mas com o de protocolo. Sua visão é inspirada pela perspectiva foucaultiana-deleuziana que articula o período histórico das sociedades de con-2 Tradução livre: "Existem questões complexas que surgiram a partir deste evento, tornado possível graças à dupla natureza dos protocolos da Internet que apontam para: a sua horizontalidade (redes comunitárias; TCP / IP) e sua verticalidade (sua estratificação; DNS)".…”

Los ritornelli de la vida cotidiana. Experimentos epistémicos en el campo de la tecnología de la información

“…22 y sig.). Estos efectos disciplinarios de control están representados asimismo en los actuales protocolos de comunicación (Galloway 2004), que también se producen de forma rítmica. El objetivo inicial de las señales discontinuas del código Morse -la forma más antigua de comunicación eléctrica-era que fueran leídas visualmente, pero pronto se vio que escucharlas era más eficaz, por lo que, en vez de mirar los puntos y las líneas, los telégrafos se dedicaron a escuchar el ritmo de la telegrafía (Sterne, 2003, pág.…”

Entre o controle e o ativismo hacker: a ação política dos Anonymous Brasil

Their denial of service actions acted to push the control protocols to the limit, using them to block flows of communication that serve both governments and corporations as well as network users; its radical decision to use anonymity strives to skirt control systems implemented systematically by governments and corporations throughout the world; its information leaks are a way to use the same networks employed to control them in order to show the "controllers" that they are also being observed and, at some point, will be "hacked:" While resistance during the modern age forms around rigid hierarchies and bureaucratic power structures, resistance during the postmodern age forms around the protocological control forces existent in networks.…”

“…Updating this Deleuzian formulation, authors such as Galloway (2004) noted that, in the cybernetic era, digital communication technologies became some of the control society's principal tools, with the Internet becoming one of its greatest expressions, and hackers some if its most important political actors. After all, the new communication technologies and information networks are, above all, control technologies and networks.…”
