DIY Citizenship: Critical Making and Social Media

Cambridge, Mass.; London: MIT Press (2014), x, 450 pp.
"Today, DIY- do-it-yourself - describes more than self-taught carpentry. Social media enables DIY citizens to organize and protest in new ways (as in Egypt's "Twitter revolution" of 2011) and to repurpose corporate content (or create new user-generated content) in order to offer political counternar ... more
"Die Rolle der Medien für die Integration von Migrantinnen und Migranten wird in kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Studien oft thematisiert.

But while Timorese people have used such creative methods and processes during rituals, celebrations, and their fight for independence, today arts and artistic expression become an ... more
"Through two case studies, this paper evaluates the value of the feminist visual methodology Photovoice as an interactive consultation tool with rural Rwandan women working in agriculture. This exploratory study suggests that it is possible, through an adapted Photovoice process, to engage and empow ... more
"This reference manual guides the staff of development or other organisations to encourage individuals (either colleagues or community members) to share their personal stories and include their voices as part of a broader good practice documentation process. While SAfAIDS and Women’sNet focus on u ... more
"International community development is increasingly using theatre as a tool. This article analyses this use, arguing that for theatre to be successful to support social change and development, participatory practice must be at its core. In exploring this, it looks at what affects theatre’s succes ... more
"How do students' online literacy practices intersect with online popular culture? In this book scholars from a range of countries including Australia, Lebanon, Nepal, Qatar, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States illustrate and analyze how literacy practices that are mediated through and influ ... more
