This groundbreaking collection advances understanding of the
concept of media practices by critically interrogating its
relevance for the study of citizen and activist media. Media as
practice has emerged as a powerful approach to understanding the
media's significance in contemporary society. Bringing together
contributions from leading scholars in sociology, media and
communication, social movement and critical data studies, this book
stimulates dialogue across previously separate traditions of
research on citizen and activist media practices and stakes out
future directions for research in this burgeoning interdisciplinary
field. Framed by a foreword by Nick Couldry and a substantial
introductory chapter by the editors, contributions to the volume
trace the roots and appropriations of the concept of media practice
in Latin American communication theory; reflect on the relationship
between activist agency and technological affordances; explore the
relevance of the media practice approach for the study of media
activism, including activism that takes media as its central object
of struggle; and demonstrate the significance of the media practice
approach for understanding processes of mediatization and
datafication. Offering both a comprehensive introduction to
scholarship on citizen media and practice and a cutting-edge
exploration of a novel theoretical framework, the book is ideal for
students and experienced scholars alike.
