As part of our ongoing fieldwork visit to London for the digital activism project, we went down to St Paul’s Cathedral to have a look at the things that are happening at #occupyLSX. Hundreds (thousands? — hard to say) of people were out there hanging around their tents, holding meetings, giving speeches, playing music (The Guns of Brixton by The Clash) and handing out flyers. My ethnographic focus was to get an insight into the offline practices relating to the #occupyLSX hashtag, and also to find and note expressions of on-site activities connecting to the digital.
