Citizen Media and Public Spaces presents a pioneering exploration
of citizen media as a highly interdisciplinary domain that raises
vital political, social and ethical issues relating to conceptions
of citizenship and state boundaries, the construction of publics
and social imaginaries, processes of co-optation and reverse
co-optation, power and resistance, the ethics of witnessing and
solidarity, and novel responses to the democratic deficit. Framed
by a substantial introduction by the editors, the twelve
contributions to the volume interrogate the concept of citizen
media theoretically and empirically, and offer detailed case
studies that extend from the UK to Russia and Bulgaria and from
China to Denmark and the liminal spaces within which a growing
number of refugees now live. A rich new domain of scholarship and
practice emerges out of the studies presented. Citizen media is
shown to embrace both physical and digital interventions in public
space, as well as the sets of values and agendas that influence and
drive the practices and discourses through which individuals and
collectives position themselves within and in relation to society
and participate in the creation of diverse publics. This book will
be of interest to students and researchers in media and
communication studies, particularly those studying citizen media,
media and society, journalism and society, and political
communication. Cover image: courtesy of Ruben Hamelink
