Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The course proposed to think of networks, games and maps as concepts and tools used by activist groups in contemporary resistance struggles. This teaching activity was a requirement as a part of my PhD scholarship at the School of Communication. The course was taught by Dr Ivana Bentes and doctoral students José Messias, Kenia Freitas and myself. It was open to non university students and it attracted more than 70 students. It had a total duration of 60 hours.
The methodology consisted in both theory and a practical exercise, where the students had to produce an article and a collective video about urban commons in Rio de Janeiro, based on Mapping the Commons methodology.
