Now in paperback for the first time, Social Movements and their
Technologies explores the interplay between social movements and
their 'liberated technologies'. It analyzes the rise of low-power
radio stations and radical internet projects ('emancipatory
communication practices') as a political subject, focusing on the
sociological and cultural processes at play. It provides an
overview of the relationship between social movements and
technology, and investigates what is behind the communication
infrastructure that made possible the main protest events of the
past fifteen years. In doing so, Stefania Milan illustrates how
contemporary social movements organize in order to create
autonomous alternatives to communication systems and networks, and
how they contribute to change the way people communicate in daily
life, as well as try to change communication policy from the
grassroots. She situates these efforts in a historical context in
order to show the origins of contemporary communication activism,
and its linkages to media reform campaigns and policy advocacy.
