| Publisher Description: =1. It brings together emerging and leading researchers in the field with case studies from across the globe. The contributors are academics as well as artists. The focus is on the creative and expressive potential of protest movements in the digital age. 2. It examines the power of art in protest movements around the world. This is a topic addressed in the art world but has not been adequately accounted for by social movement theorists, notwithstanding some examples (Reed 2005). 3. It advances our understanding of the role of visual culture and imagery in the communication of protestors' demands and identities. |
