Book excerpt: Finalist, 2016 Ralph Waldo Emerson Award One of Bustle's Books For Your Civil Disobedience Reading List Examines the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States, emphasizing the way Americans responded to injustices Dissent: The History of an American Idea examines the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States. It focuses on those who, from colonial days to the present, dissented against the ruling paradigm of their time: from the Puritan Anne Hutchinson and Native American chief Powhatan in the seventeenth century, to the Occupy and Tea Party movements in the twenty-first century. The emphasis is on the way Americans, celebrated figures and anonymous ordinary citizens, responded to what they saw as the injustices that prevented them from fully experiencing their vision of America. At its founding the United States committed itself to lofty ideals. When the promise of those ideals was not fully realized by all Americans, many protested and demanded that the United States live up to its promise. Women fought for equal rights; abolitionists sought to destroy slavery; workers organized unions; Indians resisted white encroachment on their land; radicals angrily demanded an end to the dominance of the moneyed interests; civil rights protestors marched to end segregation; antiwar activists took to the streets to protest the nation’s wars; and reactionaries, conservatives, and traditionalists in each decade struggled to turn back the clock to a simpler, more secure time. Some dissenters are celebrated heroes of American history, while others are ordinary people: frequently overlooked, but whose stories show that change is often accomplished through grassroots activism. The United States is a nation founded on the promise and power of dissent. In this stunningly comprehensive volume, Ralph Young shows us its history.
Book Synopsis Communicating Dissent, Manufacturing Deviance by : Teresa Gil López

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of digital communication technologies has revolutionized how social movements organize and directly mobilize support from the wider public. Still, activists and movements are aware that pursuing media attention remains crucial to get their message across. Scholarly work on media and social movements has identified a pattern of coverage in mainstream media, coined as the ‘protest paradigm’, that delegitimizes and marginalizes protest movements. While such work has been key to identifying the archetypal devices of representation that characterize the paradigm, no systematic assessment of the prevalence of such devices exists across different causes and contexts. Yet, given the complexity of the current media environment, it is unclear to what extent mainstream media’s treatment of protest groups is invariably negative. Furthermore, along with the evolution of the media environment came many changes in the journalistic practices which underlie the logic of the paradigm, and thus mainstream media discourses around protest are also likely to have diversified. To date, the evolution of mainstream portrayals has not been explored for a broad range of causes but only for specific movements. The same scholarly work has also tended to conclude that adherence to the protest paradigm in protest coverage carries deleterious effects for public support and mobilization. However, much of the work produced under the umbrella of the protest paradigm has relied on early critical theorizations and limited empirical observations to deduce that mainstream portrayals of protest generally depressed public support for protesters and intentions to mobilize. To refine these theorizations, certain boundary conditions should be considered that are likely to shape people’s responses to media portrayals. Among them, prior favorable attitudes have been hypothesized to act as attenuators of the negative effects of the paradigm, while other variables may exacerbate ingroup- and ideology-consistent responses. Finally, the theoretical mechanisms explaining how such effects occur are also unknown. This dissertation addresses the previous research gaps in the literature through a systematic exploration of the relative prevalence and evolution, in mainstream coverage, of representation devices ascribed to the protest paradigm across a broad range of protest types. It also investigates systematic differences between domestic and foreign coverage, as well as variations in coverage across geopolitical contexts. The dissertation also explores how portrayals with high adherence to the paradigm impact protest-related attitudes and evaluations when participants hold prior attitudes on a divisive issue. In doing so, it also adds important theoretical contributions towards understanding the mechanisms explaining negative attitudinal outcomes of exposure by, first empirically testing potential cognitive and affective mediators; and second, by exploring how new information consumption patterns may moderate effects by bringing interpersonal considerations and political affinities to the foreground when people process and interpret media messages. Study 1 explores the evolution of mainstream protest coverage by 5 top US newspapers over the past 2 decades. The study seeks to understand how representations of collective action have evolved with the advent of digital media, particularly social media, and how adherence to protest paradigm varies across multiple protest types and contexts. Study 2 then investigates the effects of higher relative to lower degrees of adherence to the protest paradigm on various outcomes of exposure, namely, protester evaluations, identification with protesters, protest intention, and perceptions of polarization. It also tests the indirect effects of protest paradigm adherence through story credibility judgments and positive and negative emotions, as well as the role of prior attitudes and social sharing in moderating those effects. Together, the studies found that protest paradigm standards of representation were stable over time, that certain protest types are systematically more negatively represented than others, just like foreign conflicts are systematically given worse treatment than domestic protests. Higher adherence to the paradigm causes more negative evaluations of protesters, less identification and lower protest intentions than lower adherence, and, importantly, these effects remain for the most part independent of prior attitudes. The studies highlight the need for a coherent theoretical framework that includes both the media- and citizen- related processes and structures.

Book Synopsis Protest Public Relations by : Ana Adi
Download or read book Protest Public Relations written by Ana Adi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global movements and protests from the Arab Spring to the Occupy Movement have been attributed to growing access to social media, while without it, local causes like #bringbackourgirls and the ice bucket challenge may have otherwise remained unheard and unseen. Regardless of their nature – advocacy, activism, protest or dissent – and beyond the technological ability of digital and social media to connect support, these major events have all been the results of excellent communication and public relations. But PR remains seen only as the defender of corporate and capitalist interests, and therefore resistant to outside voices such as activists, NGOs, union members, protesters and whistle-blowers. Drawing on contributions from around the world to examine the concepts and practice of "activist," "protest" and "dissent" public relations, this book challenges this view. Using a range of international examples, it explores the changing nature of protest and its relationship with PR and provides a radical analysis of the communication strategies and tactics of social movements and activist groups and their campaigns. This thought-provoking collection will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of public relations, strategic communication, political science, politics, journalism, marketing, and advertising, and also to PR professionals in think tanks and NGOs.
Book Synopsis Determinations of Dissent by : Marta Bashovski
Download or read book Determinations of Dissent written by Marta Bashovski and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the significance of the politics of classification to how we have come to understand and study practices of protest and dissent. I trace the politics of classification in the history of political thought, and highlight how the categories of thought often most deeply associated with the promises of the Euro-modern Enlightenment constitute both aspirations and limits to questions of dissent and political transformation. These modern aspirations and limits, I argue, have tended to fall into one of two traditions - a Kantian/Foucauldian tradition and a Hegelian/Marxian tradition. While the Hegelian/Marxian tradition involves a specific, progressivist theory of the subject, lines of thought associated with this tradition tend to be reductionist. By contrast, the Kantian/Foucauldian tradition is not reductionist in the same way as the Hegelian/Marxian, and involves both an ontological and an epistemological theory of classification, but is constrained by its own constitutive limits. I apply these theoretical insights to a study of how a range of sympathetic, progressivist commentators - from journalists, to activists, to academics - have attempted to explain the 2009-2013 wave of global protests. Examining commentaries that discuss and link events ranging from the Syntagma Square and indignadas protests in Greece and Spain, the Occupy Wall Street movement and the summer 2013 protests in Brazil, Turkey and Bulgaria, I show that these commentaries claim novel politics but ignore the politics of classification within which their own work operates. This lack of attention paid to the politics of classification by both participants and commentators in progressive politics is symptomatic of a hegemony of the particular classificatory practices and categories I have identified. I suggest that explanations of protests often clustered around three key issues - or three ways that commentators claimed something was changing - claims to novelty, claims to the emergence of new forms of subjectivity, and claims around changing structures of authority. To take seriously the question of dissent, I conclude that we must take into account the epistemological inheritances within which our claims about practices of dissent are located.

Book excerpt: Although living conditions have improved throughout history, protest, at least in the last few decades, seems to have increased to the point of becoming a normal phenomenon in modern societies. Contributors to this volume examine how and why this is the case and argue that although problems such as poverty, hunger, and violations of democratic rights may have been reduced in advanced Western societies, a variety of other problems and opportunities have emerged and multiplied the reasons and possibilities for protest. Acts of Dissent: New Developments in the Study of Protest examines some of those problems, progressing from methodological issues, to discussions of the part that the mass media plays in protest, finally to several case studies of protests in different contexts.
