The Chaotic Freedom-Fighter: Anonymous as the Trickster of Cyberculture
Original language description
The presentation explores the connections between the hacktivist movement Anonymous and the mythological trickster figure, which is usually studied within the context of Native American and African cultures. Since both the trickster and Anonymous have proved to be too elusive to be trapped in a definition, the presentation takes up the features which were identified by some renowned scholars dealing with this figure as typical for the trickster (most notably Lewis Hyde in his The Trickster Makes This World and William J. Hynes in his essay "Mapping the Characteristics of Mythic Tricksters: A Heuristic Guide"), and these features are then examined in the context of the hacktivist culture.
