This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Visual Information Expert Workshop, VIEW 2006, held in Paris, France, in April 2006.

The 23 revised full papers were carefully selected from numerous submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The book is categorized in three main parts: pixelization theory, pixelization applications, pixelization and cognition. The papers are organized in topical sections on pixelization, pixelization and multidimensional data, spatial pixelization, temporal pixelization, qualitative pixelization, as well as pixelization and cognition.

This indispensable book offers a panorama of social resistances to neoliberal globalization in the South. Writers and activists from forty different countries or regions offer snapshots of the latest mobilizations, from the anti-privatization groups in South Africa and the anti-WTO campaign of peasants in India, to the indigenous movement behind Evo Morales in Bolivia. The book focuses on a range of diverse popular struggles that impact on democratic and development process, yet receive little public attention or are caricatured by mainstream media. It reveals collective tensions throughout those societies whose material bases have been profoundly shaken by a series of adjustments dictated by the canons of the globalized economy. It is an essential guide to the latest developments in social movements. Edited by Francois Polet of the Centre Tricontinental, it includes contributions from key activists and scholars such as Vinod Raina, Michel Warschawski, Maristella Svampa and Mahaman Tidjani.
