Over the past four decades, a remarkable transformation has occurred in the way individuals engage with media. The traditional roles of media consumers have been expanded to include the roles of creators, influencers, followers, gamers, trolls, and data subjects. This dynamic social and technological landscape has opened up a wealth of new opportunities for expression and activism on a global scale.
In this extensively revised second edition, Leah Lievrouw delves into the growing trend of algorithmic media for political and cultural activism online. She recognizes that data capture and big data analytics are not merely tools for managing and manipulating people or information but rather become sites of creativity, connection, and contention. The book explores a diverse range of events and developments, including anti-facial recognition projects, open-source intelligence in citizen journalism, and innovative apps based on encryption and DIY local networks that support movements such as Occupy and Black Lives Matter.
Alternative and Activist New Media serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the theoretical foundations of contemporary internet-driven movements. It provides a framework for analyzing the evolving nature of protest in the age of algorithmic media. This timely new edition will be an invaluable resource for courses on digital activism, new media, and society, offering insights into the complex interplay between technology, activism, and social change.
