Much of the research on Anonymous has studied the group from an ethnographic perspective or focused on social media posts to learn what is most important for the movement. There have been only few attempts to analyze how hacktivists are choosing suitable targets for cyberattacks with protest objectives. The present study attempts to provide insight into their shared values by looking at interactions among Anonymous members on public chatrooms during the four months of the Quebec student demonstrations known as the 2012 Printemps Érable protests. A thematic analysis was performed to categorize the important themes. The results show that the core values of Anonymous’s group is congruent to that of Anonymous’s social media accounts, emphasizing freedom of expression, often linked to freedom of speech and freedom of information as integral to the target selection process. Also, participants in the chatroom proposed traditionally suitable targets (i.e., the government, the police, political parties) and seems to agree upon which targets should be rejected such as traditional news media, deemed important to diffuse its message and provide information about its operations.

The Mediterranean context is a transition zone between the temperate and tropical belts, developing in some regions between 20° and 40° North and South latitude. Typical flora of the Mediterranean bush includes holm oak, cork oak, heather, myrtle, rosemary, laurel, oleander, orange, prickly pear, caper, and pistachio. The research carried out as part of the cross-border cooperation project CUBÂTI “Culture du bâti de qualité: recherche, innovation et entreprise pour la durabilité,” funded by the Italy-Tunisie Programme 2014-2020, identified some of these plant species, linked to production waste from the agro-food sector of Sicily and Tunisia, to experiment with new additives to be used as reinforcement in plaster mortars. Furthermore, with the objective of improving circular processes and reducing the use of natural resources, we preferred to use local binders that are not resource-intensive, such as gypsum and clay. The activities were conducted through intense collaboration between research institutes and manufacturing companies to intensify technological transfer and raise awareness towards the use of more environmentally sustainable materials. The results obtained from the experimentation, which included durability tests of the developed materials, demonstrated that the controlled addition of plant fibres could be a sustainable way to improve some performances of plaster mortars.

This text speaks about two very important problems existing in Tunisia, after revolution: identity and language. The problem about Tunisian identity is very present in Tunisia, because the article 38 of constitution speaks about Arabic-Muslim identity, but that, it is not correspond to the reality, because we have to talk about a specific identity character of the country. “Tunisianity”, it’s the wright answer to the article 38.Second important question is the language. Always the article 38 of the constitution voted by the Islamic party at that time at the power, says that the national language is Arabic. Even that not correspond to the linguistic reality of the country, because classical Arabic is not spoken in Tunisia. People speaks Tunisian Arabic. So the text analyses the dangers of the article 38 about the real Tunisian identity and Tunisian language.

Marco Scotini, come curatore del progetto in progress Archivio Disobedience, che cosa significa disobbedienza oggi e come si declina nell’esperienza artistica? Marco Scotini: Per fortuna viviamo in tempi di profonda trasformazione sociale ma anche di radicale trasformazione culturale, nonostante la continua minaccia da parte del capitalismo attuale di riterritorilizzare il potere e il controllo nelle maglie del politico che, come ben sappiamo, è invece finito. è una mossa strategica che, nel migliore dei casi, ci riporta a vecchi antagonismi e a forme dell’ ”impegno” totalmente superate. La “disobbedienza”, al contrario, è la conditio sine qua non dell’agire politico contemporaneo proprio perché crea nuove alleanze, nuove coordinate e nuovi contesti d’azione.

This article examines Pedro Mairal’s El año del desierto through various theoretical approaches to the concept of the contemporary. In contrast to the novels of genealogy, this is a text that works with the remains of Argentine literature and goes back in time in order to find literary filiations that allow it to frame the present of the crisis. In this way, Mairal’s novel conjures up the figure of the contemporary writer as an orphan who is able to reappropriate all the codes and protocols of the literary tradition.
