Summary "Hacked Transmissions: Technology and Connective Activism in Italy offers an intervention into debates around mediated activism through a multi-year ethnography of Telestreet, an early 21st century pirate television network in Italy. Telestreet set out to challenge Silvio Berlusconi's control of over 90 percent of the Italian mediascape, and Renzi tracks how Telestreet uses the old language of television with emergent media production and circulation. Renzi draws on process-oriented ontology, autonomist thinkers, and media archaeology to investigate the roles of affect, perception, and individuation in this emerging media landscape"-- Provided by publisher
