Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis b

Description: Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Anne Kaun provides a historical exploration of the role of media in shaping social movements and resistance to capitalism. Publisher Description Throughout history, innovations in media have had a profound impact on protest and dissent. But while these recent developments in social media have been the subject of intense scholarly attention, there has been little consideration of the wider historical role of media technologies in protest. Drawing on the work of key theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Raymond Williams, Crisis and Critique provides a historical analysis of media practices within the context of major economic crises. Through richly detailed case studies of the movements which emerged during three different economic crises - the unemployed workers movement of the Great Depression, the rent strike movement of the early 1970s and the Occupy Wall Street protests which followed the recession of 2007 - Kaun provides an in-depth analysis of the cultural, economic and social consequences of media technologies, and their role in shaping and facilitating resistance to capitalism. Author Biography Anne Kaun is a visiting post-doctoral researcher at the Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania. She also lectures at Sodertorn University. Her previous books include Being a Young Citizen in Estonia (2013) and (in German) Experiencing the EU (2012).
