> Date Of Publication: Nov 2009
> ISBN: 978-0-646-5200
>
> EngageMedia and Kunci Cultural Studies Center are pleased to 
> announce the launch of Videochronic. This publication is the result 
> of a collaborative research project charting how activists are 
> engaging with video technologies in Indonesia, addressing some of 
> the issues of technology-mediated social movements, and exploring 
> the potential and limitations of online video distribution.
>
> The past decade in Indonesia has seen a dramatic increase in the use 
> of video as a social change tool by community, campaign and activist 
> organisations. Access to the tools for producing video have become 
> increasingly democratised over this period, and rapidly adopted.
> Since the fall of Suharto's New Order regime, space has been opened 
> up for a host of new media projects to emerge. Individuals and 
> organisations dealing with issues such as the environment, human 
> rights, queer and gender issues, cultural pluralism, militarism, 
> poverty, labour rights, globalisation and more have embraced video 
> as a tool to communicate with both their bases and new audiences.
>
> What groups are currently active in producing social and 
> environmental video in the archipelago? What are the histories of 
> that work? How is it currently being distributed? How are activists 
> thinking they might approach distribution in the future?
>
> This 140 page book presents both English and Indonesian language 
> versions of the research as well as colour illustrations including a 
> visualisation of the development of video activism and online video.
