Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice provides a
conceptualization of citizen journalism as a political practice
developed through analyses of an historical and postcolonial case.
Arguing that citizen journalism is first and foremost situated,
embodied and political rather than networked and technology-based,
the book offers a grounded analysis of the colonial newspaper, The
Herald, published in St. Croix (Virgin Islands) 1915-25 by a
descendant of enslaved people and independently of the colonial
ruler, Denmark. The analysis is informed by Deleuze and Guattari's
approach to knowledge production and formulates a critical reading
of citizens' and subjects' mediated political engagements then as
well as now. The book discusses current approaches to citizen
journalism before turning to The Herald, which is then read against
the grain in an attempt to show the embodied politics of colonial
history and cultural forms of citizen engagement as these politics
evolve in this particular case of journalism
