Cultural Protest in Journalism, Documentary Films and the Arts:
Between Protest and Professionalisation entails a comprehensive
account of the history and trajectory of contemporary journalistic,
(documentary) film, and arts and cultural actors rooted (partially
or wholly) in radical, alternative, community, voluntary,
participatory and independent movements primarily in Britain and
Germany. It focuses particularly on the examination of production
and organisational contexts of selected case studies, some of which
date from the countercultural era. The book takes a transnational
and interdisciplinary approach encompassing a range of theoretical
perspectives - drawn from the political economy of communication
tradition; alternative media scholarship; journalism studies;
critical sociological and cultural studies of media industries;
cultural industries research; and critical and social theory - in
conjunction with extensive ethnographic fieldwork. It does so to
reveal the obscure nature of media and cultural production and
organisation at seventeen media and cultural actors based in
Britain and Germany, including South Africa and Nigeria. A
particular focus is placed on how such actors balance competing
imperatives of a civic/socio-political, professional, artistic and
commercial nature as well as various systemic pressures, and on how
they navigate the resultant ambivalences, paradoxes and tensions in
their day-to-day work. In essence, the book highlights key insights
into a changing nature and quality of engagement with social and
political realities in protest cultures.
