The Arab spring, protest movements in the EU, Russia, Turkey or
elsewhere, are often labeled as twitter-revolutions. A crucial role
is attributed to the new media, coverage of events abroad and
ensuing mutual reactions. With the dissemination of print, revolts
in early-modern times faced the challenge of a similar
media-revolution. This influenced the very face of the events that
could become full-fledged propaganda wars once the insurgents had
won access to the printing press. But it also had an impact on
revolt-narratives. Governments severely persecuted dissident views
in such delicate issues as revolts. Observers abroad had no such
divided loyalties and were freer to reflect upon the events.
Therefore, the book focuses mainly on representations of revolts
across borders.
