[ecrea] new book "Social Movements and Their Technologies"

I am happy to announce the release of my book Social Movements and Their 
Technologies. Wiring Social Change (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013).


Social Movements and Their Technologies. Wiring Social Change explores 
the interplay between social movements and their “liberated 
technologies”. It analyzes the rise of low-power radio stations and 
radical internet projects (“emancipatory communication practices”) as a 
political subject, focusing on the sociological and cultural processes 
at play. It provides an overview of the relationship between social 
movements and technology and investigates what is behind the 
communication infrastructure that made possible the main protest events 
of the past 15 years. In doing so, Stefania Milan illustrates how 
contemporary social movements organize in order to create autonomous 
alternatives to communication systems and networks and how they 
contribute to change the way people communicate in daily life, as well 
as try to change communication policy from the grassroots.
