Description: Crisis and CritiqueA Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis Author(s): Anne Kaun Format: Paperback Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom Imprint: Zed Books Ltd ISBN-13: 9781783607365, 978-1783607365 Synopsis 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.
