About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Sites of Protest examines the global resurgence of protest movements and the ways in which they use public and private space - both physical and immaterial - to secure attention for a wide variety of causes, cultural events and moral campaigns. The book takes its readers inside the mindset, not only of protestors and activists, but also of the state and corporate authorities that attempt to limit the impact of dissent. It also explains how media outlets frame the wide variety of international events and controversies that make up modern protest movements, and examines the myths that surround activism and the Internet. Has the landscape of dissent changed forever, or does the fact that protestors still rely on the symbolism associated with a particular place , mean that their interventions will remain localised and will fail to create a universal appeal.
