Politics and Practices of Secrecy Institute of North American Studies, Kingâs College London 14-15 May, 2015 In the wake of the Snowden revelations about the surveillance capabilities of intelligence agencies, this interdisciplinary symposium gathers experts to discuss the place and implications of secrecy in contemporary culture and politics. 14 May, 6.30-8.30, Edmund J. Safra Lecture Theatre http://secretsofdarknet.eventbrite.co.uk Keynote Lecture: Secrets of the Dark Net, Jamie Bartlett Jamie Bartlett, author of The Dark Net and member of the think tank, Demos, will be giving this keynote lecture on the secret side of the Internet. Bartlett will discuss some of the netâs most shocking and unexplored subcultures including trolling, neo-Nazis, child pornography, bitcoin and crypto-anarchy. He will examine how people behave under the conditions of real or perceived anonymity online, and what it means for society today. Artist Zach Blas will be a respondent to Jamie's lecture, discussing his latest project on what he calls the Contra-Internet. Recognizing the Internet as a premier arena of control today, contra-internet is both a refusal of, or exodus from, the internet and also an attempt to build aesthetico-political alternatives to its infrastructures. 15 May, Edmund J.
