Transnational Protests and the Media  - Call for Chapters

Editors: Simon Cottle, Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, and Libby Lester,
School of English, Journalism and European Languages, University of Tasmania

Deadline for submission of chapter proposals/abstracts: Monday 2 November 2009

Transnational Protests and the Media will explore and theorize the rise of transnational protests and their transactions within and through todayâ??s fast-changing communications environment. In keeping with the Global Crises and the Media series, published by Peter Lang, this contracted book sets out to examine how different global issues and crises ­ war and conflict, economy and trade, ecology and climate change, human rights and humanitarian emergencies - become focused and mobilized through mediated protests and demonstrations internationally and transnationally. Providing an up-to-date, theoretically informed and substantively focused collection, Transnational Protests and the Media seeks to address todayâ??s changing communications environment and how this now facilitates, shapes and becomes deployed within diverse areas of global contention and concern.

We seek to include contributions from authors and researchers working on different global issues and protests including war and peace, economy and trade, ecology and climate change, and human rights and humanitarian crises, and how these have variously become enacted in and through todayâ??s complex of communication flows and media formations ­ and with what possible impacts, variously conceived.

Indicative Topics:
?       Protesting war and peace
?       Protesting economy and trade
?       Protesting ecology and climate change
?       Protesting human rights and humanitarian emergency
?       The changing repertoires of contention
? The diverse ways in which ICTs and new social media have become infused in the wider
enactment and diffusion  of mediated protests
? The rise of celebrity and spectacle in demonstrations about global issues ? The performative and dramaturgical staging and media framing of global protest events ? Mediated protests, global citizenship, global civil society and the global public sphere
