I too would welcome a comprehensive bibliography on media and social movements. I think Earl et al's "Changing the World One Webpage At a Time" (Mobilization 15(4), 2010) is the closest I have seen to this on the new media side. Andrews and Caren's "Making the News: Movement Organizations, Media Attention, and the Public Agenda" (ASR 75(6) 2010) has a wonderful literature review of the larger media and movements question. Heaney et al's "Campaigning in the Internet Age" (in Craig and Hill, The Electoral Challenge: Theory Meets Practice CQ Press, 2010) has an overview of the new media and electoral politics literature.

It seems like there's a lot of interest in this, although I'd distinguish between "social protest" and "social movements." I review some of this literature in Ch.4 of *Cyber Racism *(Rowman & Littlefield, 2009). It sounds like a wiki might be useful for folks. I'd contribute. ;) Cheers, ~ Jessie * * * Jessie Daniels, PhD Associate Professor CUNY School of Public Health Hunter College and The Graduate Center New York, NY * * * http://www.linkedin.com/in/jessiedaniels On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 3:05 PM, Daniel Kreiss <dkreiss@stanford.edu> wrote: > I too would welcome a comprehensive bibliography on media and social > movements. > > I think Earl et al's "Changing the World One Webpage At a Time" (*Mobilization > *15(4),* *2010) is the closest I have seen to this on the new media side. > Andrews and Caren's "Making the News: Movement Organizations, Media > Attention, and the Public Agenda" (*ASR *75(6) 2010) has a wonderful > literature review of the larger media and movements question.

Hello: You may also want to check out the issue of Information, Communication, and Society's Volume 13(2) from 2010, which published 5 papers on social movements. Included is a paper by Jennierfer Earl and one by Marije Boekkooi and me on understanding the role of the Internet in days of action. Take care, Dana Fisher -- Dana R.

FWIW, my master's thesis (1995) subtitle was "A new modus, locus, and focus for social movements" - though unlike the dissertation, I don't know that it's online anywhere. -eg

And if, by chance, any of you who are interested in online activism is coming to CHI2011 (in two weeks), perhaps you'd like to check our SIG meeting - "From Slacktivism to Activism - Participatory Culture in the Age of Social Media", which will discuss some of the topics that came up in this thread, with a clear focus on research and design of appropriate tools that will tip the balance towards active social participation rather than Facebook "likes". http://chi2011.org/program/program.html#day6 <http://chi2011.org/program/program.html#day6> Best, Dana ========================= Dana Rotman PhD candidate University of Maryland iSchool Human-Computer Interaction Lab On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 3:25 PM, Dana R Fisher <drfisher@socy.umd.edu>wrote: > Hello: > > You may also want to check out the issue of Information, > Communication, and Society's Volume 13(2) from 2010, which published 5 > papers on social movements.
