The intersection of virtual and physical spaces at the heart of
contemporary political protests is a pivotal element in new
practices of activism. In this new and global ecology of dissent
and activism, different forces, stakeholders, and spaces, once
defiantly discordant, come together to define the increasingly
malleable nature and terms of participatory politics and the
performance of democracy. This book explores the emerging sites,
aesthetics and politics of contemporary dissent as a critical
attempt to foreground their mediation and negotiation in an era of
neoliberal globalization. Contemporary forms of media activism
occupy deeply ambivalent spaces, which Ardizzoni analyzes using the
lens of what she calls "matrix activism." Rather than confining the
analysis to a single platform, a single technology, or a single
social actor, matrix activism allows us to explain the hybrid
nature of new forms of dissent and resistance, as they are located
at the intersection of alternative and mainstream, non-profit and
corporate, individual and social, production and consumption,
online and offline.
