In times of increasing mediatization and digitalization media play
an important role in political and societal transformation
processes. The authors of this volume take an actor-centered
perspective to shed light on current cases in Arab and Asian
countries. They inquire into the ways processes of networking and
mobilization evolve in the context of restricted media systems and
state-dominated public spheres. It features original research about
various social and political actors such as women's rights
activists, public intellectuals, anarchists and Islamists.
Restrictions on academic freedom, persecution and armed conflict
have forced many scholars into exile. So far, the professional
trajectories of these scholars and their contributions to knowledge
exchange have not been studied comprehensively. The contributors to
this volume address the situations and networks of scholars in
exile, the challenges they face in their host countries and the
opportunities they use. These issues are highly relevant to
discussions about the moral economies of higher education
institutions and support programs. Although the contributions
largely focus on Germany as a host country, they also offer telling
examples of forced mobility in the Global South, including both
contemporary and historical perspectives.
