Chaos Magick, Discordianism and Internet Trolling : An investigation into subversive postmodern techniques online and offline

In this thesis, the practice of Chaos magick and the practice and mythology of Discordianism are compared to different subversive techniques used in internet culture and specifically in internet trolling. Chaos magick is described from the sigil-making of Austin Osman Spare through the playbacks of William S Burroughs to contemporary practitioners. The Chaos magick practices unveiled in this investigation are compared to practices in internet culture and specifically internet trolling through avariety of different themes, from memes to doxing to the chaos of apophenia.
