Book Synopsis Alternative Media and Politics of Resistance by : Joshua D. Atkinson
Download or read book Alternative Media and Politics of Resistance written by Joshua D. Atkinson. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Some of the most fervent users of social media in the world come from Turkey where forms of social media are frequently banned by the Turkish government.
