项目摘要

In a media-saturated world, social and political protest is profoundly affected by media practices and processes, raising crucial questions on the complex relationship between social movement actors and different media forms and technologies. With the development of web 2.0 technologies, the rapid growth in the use of social networking sites, and the recent wave of unrest that has affected many countries in Europe and across the world, this relationship has come to play a fundamental role in the understanding of current societal transformations, and needs to be urgently investigated and addressed. Academic interest in this topic has proliferated especially in recent years. Some scholars have focused on the framing of dissent in mainstream and explored the ways in which mainstream media influence, shape and transform oppositional discourses. Others have instead investigated the production of 'alternative media' and have looked at the ways in which information travels across resistant media networks creating elaborated systems of meanings. Furthermore, many scholars have directed their attention to the analysis of how social movement actors employ media and web technologies in tactical ways, in order to coordinate protest efforts, to gain the attention of potential supporters, to create spaces of resistance such as protest camps and events. Despite the rapid proliferation of research in the field there seems to be a lack of a unified space for interdisciplinary discussion devoted to this field of study. In addition to this, we are confronted with an excessive fragmentation between academic understandings of media, movements and democracy on the one hand, and the perspectives of activists, government think-tanks and civil society organisations on the other. This seminar series, is intended to overcome this fragmentation not only through the stimulation of interdisciplinary dialogue and international scholarly activity, but also through the creation of a space for dialogue between academic researchers at different stages of their career and non-academic civil society actors and policy makers. In doing so, the seminar series aims to develop meaningful analytical, theoretical and methodological tools, which can have an impact also beyond academic circles, and which will enable us to understand and study the media/movement dynamic across different social, political, cultural and media environments. To achieve its aims the seminar series will organise six two-day workshops addressing the following issues 1) Researching Media and Movements - Methods and Approaches 2) Social Movements and Mainstream Media: An Oppositional Relationship? 3) Social Movements and 'their' Media - Moving beyond definitions to explore processes? 4) Digital Activism Past and Present - Understanding the New by looking at the Old 5) Mass Mobilisations, Protest Events and Web 2.0 Technologies - Making Sense of Cross-cultural Differences 6) Social Movements and Media - What Next? Hactivism, Datactivism and Surveillance. All written or audiovisual versions of the papers presented in the seminars will be uploaded on an interactive website, which is intended also to become a platform for interactive dialogue and collaboration, which will be accessible to a wide number of potential scholars, activists, and public sector practitioners.

在一个媒体饱和的世界里，社会和政治抗议受到媒体实践和过程的深刻影响，提出了关于社会运动参与者与不同媒体形式和技术之间复杂关系的关键问题。随着Web 2.0技术的发展，社交网站使用的快速增长，以及最近影响欧洲和世界许多国家的动荡浪潮，这种关系在理解当前社会变革方面发挥了重要作用，需要紧急调查和解决。近年来，学术界对这一主题的兴趣激增。一些学者关注主流媒体中异议的构建，并探讨了主流媒体影响、塑造和转化对立话语的方式。其他人则研究了“替代媒体”的生产，并研究了信息在抵抗性媒体网络中传播的方式，创造了精心设计的意义系统。此外，许多学者将注意力转向分析社会运动参与者如何以战术方式利用媒体和网络技术，以协调抗议活动，获得潜在支持者的注意，创造抗议营地和活动等抵抗空间。尽管该领域的研究迅速扩散，但似乎缺乏一个统一的跨学科讨论空间。除此之外，我们还面临着对媒体，运动和民主的学术理解与活动家，政府智库和民间社会组织的观点之间的过度分裂。这一系列研讨会旨在克服这种分散现象，不仅通过鼓励跨学科对话和国际学术活动，而且通过为处于职业生涯不同阶段的学术研究人员与非学术民间社会行为者和决策者之间的对话创造空间。在这样做的过程中，研讨会系列旨在开发有意义的分析，理论和方法工具，这也可以产生学术界以外的影响，这将使我们能够理解和研究在不同的社会，政治，文化和媒体环境中的媒体/运动动态。为了实现其目标，研讨会系列将组织六个为期两天的研讨会，讨论以下问题：1）研究媒体和运动-方法和途径2）社会运动和主流媒体：对立的关系？3)社会运动和“他们的”媒体-超越定义探索过程？4)数字行动主义的过去和现在--通过观察旧的大众动员、抗议活动和Web 2.0技术来理解新的--理解跨文化差异6）社会运动和媒体--下一步是什么？行动主义、数据行动主义和监视。研讨会上提出的所有书面或视听文件都将上载到一个互动网站，该网站也将成为一个互动对话和合作的平台，供广大潜在的学者、活动家和公共部门从业人员使用。
