Media and protest: Technological change and cultural disturbance

Authors: Lance Strate
Page Start: 231

In this revised version of a keynote address delivered at the Media, 
Protest and Social Change Symposium, sponsored by the College of 
Management and Academic Studies, Rishon LeZion, Israel, on 14 March 
2012, the phenomenon of protest is explored based on a media ecology 
approach, in light of the understanding that innovations in media and 
technology result in cultural disturbances. Following a review of the 
disturbances associated with writing and literacy, the print revolution 
and the electronic media revolution, it is argued that contemporary 
protest takes place in three arenas: in real places, on mass media 
venues, and online, resulting in new forms of protest and unprecedented 
forms of cultural disturbance.

Ideas and built environments

Built environments – in this case, churches – provide a concrete venue 
to experience media ecology. While many often think of communication 
media or ideas as the ‘stuff’ of media ecology, architecture also serves 
as a physical environment, a media environment and a ideational 
environment. Beginning with Ong’s ‘writing reshapes consciousness’, this 
pedagogy piece explores how Christian architecture shapes Christian 
theology. Church buildings offer visual images, aural experience, 
spatial orientation, verbal and nonverbal human cues and ritual 
expressions of Christianity. The course described here shows how the 
location can instruct students in both media ecology and theology.
