ATTENTION ACTIVISM 101 [ONLINE] (Session 3/3)

ATTENTION ACTIVISM 101 [ONLINE] (Session 3/3) is the final session of an online course surveying the intellectual and practical foundations of the attention activism movement. It is offered by the Strother School of Radical Attention. The course examines how technical and financial power has monetized human attention over the last twenty years, drawing on texts by Anna Tsing, Natasha Dow Schull, Shoshanna Zuboff, Tim Wu, and Jonathan Crary. It asks what the extractive incursions of the Attention Economy mean for shared life in the twenty-first century and how activist communities are resisting them.
