> Professor Breen will present research from his recently published  
> book, Uprising: The Internet's Unintended Consequences. The seminar  
> will explore the foundations of the shift in the circulation of  
> transgressive knowledge by developing the theory of  
> proletarianization. The analysis includes two case studies that  
> illustrate the increased rise of transgressive knowledge due to the  
> Internet: jihad and pornography.
