Actors like hacker collectives, alternative media organizations or open source movements do not only use media to organize, collaborate and to mobilize, but explicitly center their activities on media-related questions. Pioneer communities like the Quantified Self or Makers movement have emerged as new kinds of collectivities at the crossroads between social movements and think tanks, in their support of new forms of media practice. At the same time, new initiatives critically deal with media and point to problems caused by current media appropriation. These actors who put media into the centre of their (political) action are in the focus of this conference.

We invite everybody who is interested to take part in this workshop. Please register by writing an email to (sigrid.kannengiesser /at/ uni-bremen.de) <mailto:(sigrid.kannengiesser /at/ uni-bremen.de)> until the 15th September.
