It analyzes the rise of low-power radio stations and radical \ninternet projects ('emancipatory communication practices') as a political \nsubject, focusing on the sociological and cultural processes at play. It \nprovides an overview of the relationship between social movements and \ntechnology, and investigates what is behind the communication infrastructure \nthat made possible the main protest events of the past fifteen years. In doing \nso, Stefania Milan illustrates how contemporary social movements organize in \norder to create autonomous alternatives to communication systems and networks, \nand how they contribute to change the way people communicate in daily life, as \nwell as try to change communication policy from the grassroots. She situates \nthese efforts in a historical context in order to show the origins of \ncontemporary communication activism, and its linkages to media reform campaigns \nand policy advocacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137558152\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137313546\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 233\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47680549585036,"sku":"9781137558152","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137558152.jpg?v=1776576909","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137558152","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
