  1. Autonomous Media
    Activating Resistance & Dissent

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2005
    Essays written by media activists examining the efforts of communities and social movements to appropriate media technologies.
  2. On Wielding the Subversive Scalpel
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1970
    In subversion, we leave behind the interminable argument between the good bureaucrats & the bad ones. By subversion we do not mean, as in its common usage, "overthrowing the government" & replacing it with ourselves. We mean undermining the very addiction, the sick, junkie-like need, to govern or be governed at all. In the end / in the beginning, there are no leaders, no followers: there are only actors.
  3. Rebel Sell
    Why the Culture Can't be Jammed

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2004
    Released in the U.S. under the title Nation of Rebels: Why Counterculture Became Consumer Culture, the book is a critique of the underlying theory of counterculture Heath and Potter note that the capitalist system thrives not on conformity -- as so many 'culture jammers' believe -- but rather on individualism and a quest for distinction.
  4. The Situationists and the New Forms of Action Against Politics and Art
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1967
    Our task is to link up the theoretical critique of modern society with the critique of it in acts. By detourning the very propositions of the spectacle, we can directly reveal the implications of present and future revolts.
  5. A User's Guide to Détournement
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1956
    Détournement means deflection, diversion, rerouting, distortion, misuse, misappropriation, hijacking, or otherwise turning something aside from its normal course or purpose.
  6. We are everywhere: The irresistable rise of global anticapitalism 
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2003
    Global voices presenting alternative visions of democracy.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
