loci and the question(s) at hand

OK, with prospectuses (pl?) in hand, we can safely say that I have a tighter topic, and a locus (loci, really) for my project. I'm casting a wide net at this early stage, in order to grant myself a number of contingency plans (so I can actually talk about whatever seems interesting). My research topic for the project revolves around the representation and reception in anarchist/radical-left online forums of the recent examples of direct confrontation between anarchist/radical left elements and state authorities in Greece - and how this informs broader discussions about the possibilities for direct action in anarchist(-sympathizing) circles. Thanks to Dr. Forte & Owen for comments/discussion that contributed to this particular development!

I'm looking at not just a single site or pre-determined cluster of sites, but am interested in the various approaches, ideas, permutations that might occur along/among the networked pathways that connect around this issue. However, since I need somewhere to focus my energies, I've selected three blogs that offer some dense & dedicated coverage:

http://greeceriots.blogspot.com/
http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/
http://anarchiststrategy.blogspot.com/

These are sites explicitly concerned with informing people and spreading ideas, so (as per our discussion of ethics tonite) I feel little compunction at naming them here - check 'em out!

These (casting a wide net) are some tentative research questions:

1. How are the events connected to the recent Greek riots and occupations represented and received in the context of anarchist and other radical-left online forums, particularly the three blogs listed above?
a) how do these blogs and other similar forums make links (conceptual and hyper-) to other contexts, local and international, in their treatments of the Greek situation?
b) is there (and if so, on what bases) a kind of ‘collective identity’ invoked in these treatments?
c) how do differing conceptions of the Greek situation present it as a discrete ‘event’ vs. as part of a wider process (e.g. spatially, as a manifestation of internal political dynamics vs. as symptomatic of wider systemic issues, and temporally, as something which is ‘over’ and can be reconstructed and analyzed as such vs. as only prominent ‘flare-up’ in long process of struggle)?

2. How does the coverage and commentary on the Greek situation contribute to discussions of general analysis, strategy and possibility for anarchist or other radical left-movements that continue to contest capitalism and seek radical social change?

long post...whew! more on justifications, ethics, methods and some elaboration on the problems and content I see myself working with - later.
