[ecrea] CFP: 'Protest, Media and Culture'

*CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS*

*'Protest, Media and**Culture'*

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

Series Editors:

Dr Ruth Sanz Sabido (Canterbury Christ ChurchUniversity)

Professor Stuart Price (De Montfort University)

'Protest, Media and Culture' will publish editedcollections and
monographs dedicated to the study and analysis of an irrepressible
phenomenon: the worldwide resurgence of social, cultural, political and
economic 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 RuthSanz
