Studying Anonymous and Scientology

An anonymous guest poster at Henry Jenkins' blog argues for academic study of the Anonymous-Scientology campaign.

Academics from cultural studies, media theory, and anthropology might seek to better understand what holds this unique community together. How have they appropriated anime and internet culture into the core of their identity and used it to unify their movement? How do neighbor communities like cosplay and video gaming cross pollinate with Anonymous? How does Anonymous connect with the earlier Internet vs. Scientology effort?

Yes.
