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/.
