Funded Activity Summary

Theory and action for opposing political repression. Political repression, such as surveillance, arrests, torture and killings, sometimes rebounds against the represser in a process called "political jiu-jitsu." The aim of this project is to investigate and reformulate the concept of political jiu-jitsu in order to understand its core components and extend its applicability. To test the theory, twelve case studies will be drawn from the areas of the technology of repression, covert operations, cyberactivism and organisational struggles.
