Description
What does it mean when images of refugees' plight are shared on social media? Or when we respond to emotive NGO fundraising campaigns, or are heartened by do-good reality TV shows? Do these narratives offer incentives for genuine social change or only momentary feelings of individual satisfaction? Drawing on social theory, political economy and cultural studies, Media Solidarities explores the way in which media can both enable and obstruct meaningful social bonds and positive change. Written in a highly approachable style, it ites theory to contemporary world events and media discourses through a series of examples and case studies. With a focus on digital media and their impact on how we feel and express solidarity, the book offers an analytical toolkit to critically understand media narratives of representation, participation and production--back cover.
