ALTERNATIVE MEDIA AND POLITICS OF RESISTANCE - ...

Scholars of journalism and media studies have illustrated the production of alternative media
as a means for activists to generate dissent  while communication scholars have examined
activists' performances and image events as challenges to dominant power structures. The
approaches of both fields have contributed to academic understanding of social movements in
modern society  but until now  their findings have emerged separate from one another. This book
brings together both lines of research  and demonstrates the role of alternative media in the
performance of resistance against power structures by contemporary activists. Specifically  the
book explores the role of alternative media in the establishment of activist networks in local
communities  the role of alternative media in the construction of strategies of resistance by
networked activists  and the role of interactivity between local and global networks in
production of alternative media content. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate
courses concerning social movements within the fields of communication  media  and journalism.
