A behind-the-scenes investigation into how global activists use technology.
In 1999, Seattle activists adopted cutting-edge live stream technology to cover the World Trade Organization protests and forever changed the global justice movement’s relationship to media. Transformative Media traces subsequent developments in technopolitics, revealing the innovative digital efforts of activist groups such as #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo today. Drawing on participatory research, Sandra Jeppesen examines how a broad array of anti-capitalist, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ people rely on alternative media and emerging technologies in their battle against overlapping systems of oppression.

Hardback. Condition: New. In 1999, Seattle activists adopted cutting-edge livestream technology to cover protests against the World Trade Organization. The Indymedia network that emerged established the importance of alternative, anti-capitalist media for marginalized groups. Transformative Media explores subsequent developments as the anti-oppression practices of digitally facilitated movements and media activists began contributing to a nascent intersectional technopolitics: harnessing the transformative power of technologies for political purposes. Drawing on participatory research, Sandra Jeppesen investigates the complex, often contradictory digital and offline practices of grassroots media and social movement groups such as Indignados, #BlackLivesMatter, Idle No More, 2LGBTQ+, and #MeToo.This groundbreaking work examines how a broad array of anti-capitalists, women, Black, Indigenous, and people of colour, and 2LGBTQ+ people are contesting interlocking systems of capitalism, gender oppression, racism, colonialism, and heteronormativity. Transformative Media takes us behind the scenes of some of the world's most exciting and controversial social movements. Seller Inventory # LU-9780774865913
