This book explores how the Internet presents radical ways of
organising and producing media that offer political and cultural
alternatives, both to ways of doing business and to how we
understand the world and our place in it. The book is characterised
by in-depth case studies. Topics include the media of new social
movements and other radical political organisations (including the
far right); websites produced by fans of popular culture; and media
dedicated to developing a critical, 'public' journalism. It locates
these studies in appropriate theoretical and historical contexts,
while remaining accessible to a student audience. Major themes:
*The use of the Internet by political groups such as the
anti-capitalist and environmental movements, as well as the far
right *Radical forms of creativity and distribution: the
anti-copyright and sampling/file-sharing movements, and their role
as cultural critics in a corporate world *The development and
maintenance of a global, 'digital public sphere' of protest through
such practices as 'hacktivism' *The use of new media technologies
to transform existing media forms and practices, such as news media
and Internet radio. This is the first book devoted entirely to
'alternative' ways of political organisation and cultural
production on the Internet. The author is one of the leading
international experts in the study of alternative media, and this
book is an authoritative guide to all aspects of these phenomena:
the cultural, the political, the economic and the social. The range
of topics covered will make it an attractive text for a wide range
of media and cultural studies and computing courses.
