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.

taught at Northeastern University in Boston. He is currently
