CALL FOR PAPERSRepresenting Resistance: Media, Civil Disobedience and the
Anti-Globalization Movement
Edited by Andy Opel, Ph.D. and Donnalyn Pompper, Ph.D.
This book will be published by the Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc.
This volume will offer a collection of scholarship that examines
connections between the media, globalization and public resistance to
the process and polices of free trade. This book will address questions
about the relationship between consolidated, corporate media and
democracy - specifically, media representations of globalization and
anti-globalization, the relationship between dominant and alternative
media and new social movements, and the media and the formation and
maintenance of national and transnational civil societies.
Essays addressing issues such as these will be considered:
* Analysis of U.S. news media coverage of the major anti-globalization
protests of the past two years
* Grassroots media strategies including the "Indy-Media" phenomenon and
use of the Internet, cell phones and other new technology as organizing
tools
* Media representations of alternative political philosophies (i.e.
Anarchism, Green Party)
* The changing climate of civil disobedience (i.e. predominance of
pepper spray and other non-lethal coercion and performance using
puppets, theater, and drumming)
* Media representations of the treaties and policies (i.e. NAFTA, GATT,
FTAA)
* Corporate image preservation and response to the anti-globalization
movement
Essays should not exceed 6,000 words and should conform to APA style.
Essay Submission Deadline: February 1, 2002.
