1. I think that Pussy Riot's case was different because they were recognised as being a movement rather than just a group of protesters.
2. I think that the masked performances gave the public the impression of an pre-meditated organisation rather than just a bunch of idiots on stage. I think that this made Pussy Riot appear more threatening to the people that they opposed, so therefore, yes, the way they chose to present their ideas to the public does set them apart from other people who just shout their ideas without actually appearing to fully believe in them to the point of having a fully organised 'organisation'.
3. It could be seen as radical feminism because they are a group of women, shouting about oppression, in what can be taken as an extreme and unyielding way that infers that they are not willing to compromise their stance.
It could be seen as an attack on the patriarchal state because they said in their songs that they disagree with the state because it is patriarchal. By calling the state patriarchal and then saying you disagree with the state, people are likely to equate the two and say that you are attacking the patriarch.
It is a criticism on modern state because they openly critisise the modern state and it's leadership.
It was performed in a church, and said things against that church's faith so therefore it could be taken to mean it was against that faith.
It can be seen as a symbol of revolt because they are a group of unidentified people revolting in a place of worship and encouraging others to see their point of view.
4. She thinks that feminism can be mixed with liberalism, with the world drama referring to the feminist and liberal movements.
5. Yes, I think that Pussy Riot wouldn't have been noticed so much if it wasn't for both their performance to capture the minds of the people online who are then inspired by 'online activism'.
6. I think they would have played a huge part because they are shared internationally and very quickly once things go viral.
7. To show a rising democracy in Russia.
8. Communities rose out of places like universities and workplaces forming as social relations collapsed.
9. They were employed in big international media corporations and leaders and managers for new political parties.
10. People online were questioning their government and the people in it, therefore they began to mistrust everything that the authoritative figures of their society-and therefore the society itself- stood for.
1. The Cyberspace.
2. It was a place where ideas could be shared that deviated from the norm. Therefore it was a place for discussion and where people could find people with similar ideas to their own. They could discuss these without fear of being censored by society. This is why it was considered a 'civil space'.
3. Habermasian is in relation to a philosopher who is known for his theory of communication. A Hebermasian utopia is a democratic 'paradise', where everyone gets a chance to participate and communicate their ideas.
4. It could have been a symptom of a rebirth of the oppressive state because people began to feel, again, that they were under the control of a government who sought to control their ideals so they retreated to cyberspace to be free to state their ideas once again.
5. It became the main artistic movement because people began to feel that they could only exist if they either conformed to society, or if they rejected society so loudly that they were taken account of.
6. Alexander Brener's 'Boxing Champion (The First Glove)'.
7. That their activism can only survive so long as it is visible in a media space.
8. Once the masks come off the masks reveal an individual beneath who shows the uniquely Russian aspect. I agree that removing the mask makes the activism more individual and more personal to Russia and Russian Politics rather than just an idea.
9. We can all be spontaneous and revolutionary with our ideas.
10. It meant creating an online platform. 'To make things work' meant to put street politics into the field of technology and media.
11. Borrowing from pop culture and commercials for the performances/art.
12. Middle-class citizens, students, managers, cultural and educational workers.
13. Some people have arrived at the modernist belief in the centrality of the media.
14. To think that pussy riot only catered to one specific group of people, they are a symbol of refusal to comply and freedom to many people from many groups, so to say that they are simply one thing alone is to cut out the many reasons why people -even religious people- have agreed with parts of their arguement.
15. By de-masking the members and probing into their personal lives, they were made more "human" stirring empathy for the general public.
