This is the first authoritative reference work to map the multifaceted
and vibrant site of citizen media research and practice, incorporating
insights from across a wide range of scholarly areas.
Citizen media is a fast-evolving terrain that cuts across a variety of
disciplines. It explores the physical artefacts, digital content,
performative interventions, practices and discursive expressions of
affective sociality that ordinary citizens produce as they participate
in public life to effect aesthetic or socio-political change.
The seventy-seven entries featured in this pioneering resource provide a
rigorous overview of extant scholarship, deliver a robust critique of
key research themes and anticipate new directions for research on a
variety of topics. Cross-references and recommended reading suggestions
are included at the end of each entry to allow scholars from different
disciplinary backgrounds to identify relevant connections across diverse
areas of citizen media scholarship and explore further avenues of research.
Featuring contributions by leading scholars and supported by an
international panel of consultant editors, the /Encyclopedia /is
essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as
researchers in media studies, social movement studies, performance
studies, political science and a variety of other disciplines across the
humanities and social sciences. It will also be of interest to
non-academics involved in activist movements and those working to effect
change in various areas of social life.
Edited by Mona Baker, Bolette B. Blaagaard, Henry Jones and Luis
Pérez-González as part of the book series /Critical Perspectives on
Citizen Media/.
