Alternative and Activist New Media provides a rich and accessible overview of the
ways in which activists, artists, and citizen groups around the world use new media
and information technologies to gain visibility and voice, present alternative or
marginal views, share their own DIY information systems and content, and otherwise
resist, talk back to, or confront dominant media culture. Today, a lively and contentious
cycle of capture, co-optation, and subversion of information, content, and system
design marks the relationship between the mainstream "center" and the interactive,
participatory "edges" of media culture. Five principal forms of alternative and activist
new media projects are introduced, including the characteristics that make them different
from more conventional media forms and content. The book traces the historical roots
of these projects in alternative media, social movements, and activist art, including
analyses of key case studies and links to relevant electronic resources. Alternative
and Activist New Media will be a useful addition to any course on new media and society,
and essential for readers interested in new media activism. -- Back cover
