Media Activism in the Digital Age captures an exciting moment in
the evolution of media activism studies and offers an invaluable
guide to this vibrant and evolving field of research. Victor
Pickard and Guobin Yang have assembled essays by leading scholars
and activists to provide case studies of feminist, technological,
and political interventions during different historical periods and
at local, national, and global levels. Looking at the underlying
theories, histories, politics, ideologies, tactics, strategies, and
aesthetics, the book takes an expansive view of media activism. It
explores how varieties of activism are mediated through
communication technologies, how activists deploy strategies for
changing the structures of media systems, and how governments and
corporations seek to police media activism. From memes to zines,
hacktivism to artivism, this volume considers activist practices
involving both older kinds of media and newer digital, social, and
network-based forms. Media Activism in the Digital Age provides a
useful cross-section of this growing field for both students and
researchers.
