The practices of participation and engagement are characterised by
complexities and contradictions. All celebratory examples of uses
of social media, e.g. in the Arab spring, the Occupy movement or in
recent LGBTQ protests, are deeply rooted in human practices.
Because of this connection, every case of mediated participation
should be perceived as highly contextual and cannot be attributed
to one (social) specific media logic, necessitating detailed
empirical studies to investigate the different contexts of
political and civic engagement. In this volume, the theoretical
chapters discuss analytical frameworks that can enrich our
understanding of current contexts and practices of mediated
participation. The empirical studies explore the implications of
the new digital conditions for the ways in which digitally mediated
social interactions, practices and environments shape everyday
participation, engagement or protest and their subjective as well
societal meaning.
This book aims to feed into the critical debates about media, power
and change through the respectful inclusion of a wide variety of
critical approaches and traditions. This diversity is
simultaneously structured and balanced by a deeply shared set of
concerns, that are mobilised to defend core societal values
including social justice, equality, fairness, care for the other
and humanity. Critical Perspectives on Media, Power and Change
raises questions about how the omnipresent media can contribute to
the materialisation of these core values, and how it sometimes
works against them. Rethinking social change, mediatisation and
regulations are thus significant issues - explicitly addressed in
this book. In addition the authors show how the role of the
critical media and communication scholar merits and requires
(self-)reflection; critical voices matter, but they also face
structural limitations. This book was originally published as two
special issues of Javnost - The Public.
