[ecrea] Call for Book Proposals: 'Protest, Media and Culture'

We would like to draw your attention to the 'Protest, Media and
Culture' Book Series that we are editing for Rowman and Littlefield
International.

Series Editors: Ruth Sanz Sabido (Canterbury Christ Church
University) and Stuart Price (De Montfort University).

'Protest, Media and Culture' will publish edited
collections and monographs dedicated to the study and analysis of an
irrepressible phenomenon: the worldwide resurgence of social, cultural,
political andeconomic discontent. The evidence for this development is
found in the constant appearance of contentious activities, which emerge
from a fundamental conflict between formal authority and those forces
that, for a variety of reasons, attempt to censure, oppose, alter or
even destroy the perceived iniquities of the ‘dominant’ social
order. The series will make particular reference to the mediated
character of protest and dissent, but will also encompass theoretical,
organisational and practical issues, and will include both
historical and contemporary examples.

The term 'Protest' identifies the visible act of collective resistance;
'Media' acts (variously) to suppress, amplify, or reconfigure this
act; and 'Culture' designates the active interactional ‘space’ that
allows the various meanings animated by protest to circulate. The Series
Editors share an approach to Protest and Mediated Culture that emerged
from their work in the interdisciplinary field of Media Discourse. Now,
following the organisation of a number of conferences, public
lectures and symposia, supported by the cross-institutional Media
Discourse Group, our call is for proposals that may touch upon, but
which are not necessarily limited to, the following thematic headings:

Protest, Media and Communication
Cultural Studies and Protest
Protest and Post-colonial Studies
Social Psychology and Public Dissent
Gender and Protest

In the first instance, please make initial enquiries to both Dr Ruth
Sanz Sabido at (ruth.sanz-sabido /at/ canterbury.ac.uk) and Professor Stuart
Price at (sprice /at/ dmu.ac.uk)
