“…This suggests that more recent reassessments of the role of digital media in the Arab Spring (e.g. Robertson, 2015) are perhaps more accurate than Ziccardi's (2013) expectation that 'a smart use of technology can help the expansion and manifestation of human rights' (p. 126). 13 Keyboard activism (H3).…”

Colombia's Internet connectivity has increased immensely. Colombia has also 'opened for business', leading to an influx of extractive projects to which social movements object heavily. Studies on the role of digital media in political mobilisation in developing countries are still scarce. Using surveys, interviews, and reviews of literature, policy papers, website and social media content, this study examines the role of digital and social media in social movement organisations and asks how increased digital connectivity can help spread knowledge and mobilise mining protests. Results show that the use of new media in Colombia is hindered by socioeconomic constraints, fear of oppression, the constraints of keyboard activism and strong hierarchical power structures within social movements. Hence, effects on political mobilisation are still limited. Social media do not spontaneously produce non-hierarchical knowledge structures. Attention to both internal and external knowledge sharing is therefore conditional to optimising digital and social media use.

Discrepant Kisses: The Reception and Remediation of North Korean Children’s Performances Circulated on Social Media

This article explores the burgeoning realm of videos uploaded on YouTube generated from content produced in North Korea otherwise known as the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea). Through state-sanctioned and individual channels, thousands of videos of North Korean music and dance have been uploaded, some resulting in over 57 million hits on YouTube. Taking a cue from this fascination, I employ digital ethnography to investigate the online reception and remediation of North Korean children's performances alongside their online comments on YouTube. I also draw from fieldwork conducted in North Korea in 2007. Theories that espouse the democratic participatory effects of social media platforms do not apply in North Korea where most of the uploaded material is produced and controlled by the state. Given this, I argue that North Korea's engagement with social media is marked by a profound disjuncture where the majority of videos portray ideological North Korean subjects in an online context where very few North Korean citizens are able to engage with this material as social media. I analyze how this disjuncture plays out as international users respond to and remediate these videos in various ways or by creating mash-ups that subvert their original ideological content. A young North Korean girl in a red, babydoll dress sings a song called "Kiss" (Ppo-ppo) [figure 1]. 1 Another girl, this time in white, extolls the virtues of the "King Potato" (Wang Kamja). Five North Korean boys and girls-noticeably dwarfed by their guitars-perform a song called "Our Kindergarten Teacher" (Yuch'iwŏn uri sŏnsaengnim) garnering over 57 million views on YouTube. 2 All three of these memorable children's performances have become subject to intense online reception and have generated various creative and discrepant remediations. In little over a decade, North Korea or the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has gradually asserted more of a presence on social media-uploading videos to YouTube and creating Twitter and Facebook accounts-affording unprecedented glimpses into many aspects of North Korean life. While a handful of YouTube channels featuring North Korean content started to emerge as early as 2006, North Korea's social media forays began to attract broader attention in 2010 when channels such as Uriminzokkiri ("With Our People") and StimmeKoreas ("Voice Koreas") launched, in some cases, in close conjunction with attendant accounts on Facebook and Twitter. 1 I have chosen to use the McCune-Reischauer system in romanizing the Korean language. However, I do make a few exceptions and have chosen to use more widely-known or previously published romanizations with the following: place names, author names, politician names, and YouTube user or channel names. 2 The video referenced here has been posted by multiple users but the one that has reached over 57 million views by the user named Viral Fill was titled "North Korean children playing guitars (Very Creepy)." Unfortunately, this link is no longer active. A similar exam...
