Technological, cultural and economic forces are transforming
political communication, posing challenges and opportunities for
politicians and media organisations, while at the same time many
governments and civil society express concerns about the extent and
nature of political empowerment and civic engagement. This book
offers an international perspective on current thinking and
practice about civic and audience empowerment, focusing on the ways
and means through which media can empower or dis-empower citizens
as audiences. It features theoretical and empirical chapters that
draw specific attention to a reappraisal of the theories, methods
and issues that inform our understanding of citizens and audiences
in contemporary politics. The authors address the following
questions: How much and what sorts of civic and audience
empowerment are most desirable, and how does this differ
cross-nationally? How do citizens relate to private and public
spaces? How do citizens function in online, networked, liminal and
alternative spaces? How do audiences of 'non-political' media
spaces relate their experiences to politics? How are political
parties and movements utilising audiences as co-creators of
political communication and what are the consequences for
democracy? With examples from the UK, USA, Holland, France,
Germany, The Middle East, South Africa and Mexico, this innovative
volume will be of interest to students and scholars of political
science, marketing, journalism, cultural studies, public relations,
media and international relations.

This book takes James Gilligan's theory of shame and violence as a
starting point for an application of the model across disciplines
(psychology, sociology, philosophy, political science, cultural
studies, history, architecture and urban studies) and levels of
analysis (from the individual to the global). It critically engages
with shame theory, exploring the existential origins, the
emotional, linguistic, cognitive and cultural manifestations and
symptoms of shame-in the mind, in the body, in public space and in
the civic culture-and its relationship with other emotions, such as
anger, guilt and pride. It also examines the role of shame in
communities that are at the fault lines of current affairs,
identity politics and "culture wars", such as Brexit, trans rights,
and racial equality. The book contributes to the literature on
political psychology and psychosocial studies by facilitating an
innovative application of the concept of shame: blending theory and
practice, focusing on gender as a key lever of the mechanism of
shame, and exploring the mechanics of shame and shame awareness, so
as to seek and propose a range of guiding principles, practical
models and possible solutions for the future.
