InsUrgent Media from the Front
Indiana University Press (Verlag)
978-0-253-05138-7 (ISBN)
InsUrgent Media from the Front takes a look at activist media practices in the 21st century and sheds light on what it means to enact change using different media of the past and present. Chris Robé and Stephen Charbonneau's edited collection uses the term "insUrgent media" to highlight the ways grassroots media activists challenged and are challenging hegemonic norms like colonialism, patriarchy, imperialism, classism, and heteronormativity. Additionally, the term is used to convey the sense of urgency that defines media activism. Unlike slower traditional media, activist media has historically sacrificed aesthetics for immediacy. Consequently, this "run and gun" method of capturing content has shaped the way activist media looks throughout history.
With chapters focused on indigenous resistance, community media, and the use of media as activism throughout US history, InsUrgent Media from the Front emphasizes the wide reach media activism has had over time. Visibility is not enough when it comes to media activism, and the contributors provide examples of how to refocus the field not only to be an activist but to study activism as well.
Chris Robé is Professor of Film and Media Studies at Florida Atlantic University. He has written two books: Left of Hollywood: Cinema, Modernism, and the Emergence of U.S. Radical Film Culture and Breaking the Spell: A History of Anarchist Filmmakers, Videotape Guerrillas, and Digital Ninjas. Stephen Charbonneau is Associate Professor of Film Studies at Florida Atlantic University. He is author of Projecting Race: Postwar America, Civil Rights, and Documentary Film.
