As Sima Shakhsari argues in Politics of Rightful Killing, the common assumptions of Weblogistan as a site of civil society consensus and resistance to state oppression belie its deep internal conflicts. While Weblogistan was an effective venue for some Iranians to "practice democracy," it served as a valuable site for the United States to surveil bloggers and express anti-Iranian sentiment and policies. At the same time, bloggers used the network to self-police and enforce gender and sexuality norms based on Western liberal values in ways that unwittingly undermined Weblogistan's claims of democratic participation. In this way, Weblogistan became a site of cybergovernmentality, where biopolitical security regimes disciplined and regulated populations. Analyzing on-line and off-line ethnography, Shakhsari provides an account of digital citizenship that raises questions about the internet's relationship to political engagement, militarism, and democracy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Blogs $x Social aspects $z Iran. 650 0 $a Blogs $x Political aspects $z Iran. 650 0 $a Civil society $z Iran. 650 0 $a Political participation $z Iran $x Computer network resources. 650 0 $a Cyberspace $x Social aspects $z Iran. 650 0 $a Cyberspace $x Political aspects $z Iran. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Civil society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862876 650 7 $a Cyberspace $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885798 650 7 $a Cyberspace $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885801 650 7 $a Political participation $x Computer network resources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069389 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shakhsari, Sima, 1968- $t Politics of rightful killing $d Durham : 2020. $z 9781478007333 $w (DLC) 2019981093 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B584E56403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
