Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice : Postcolonial Archives and Embodied Political Acts of New Media Hardback
by Bolette B. Blaagaard
Part of the Frontiers of the Political: Doing International Politics series
Hardback
Description
Citizen Journalism as Conceptual Practice provides a conceptualization of citizen journalism as a political practice developed through analyses of an historical and postcolonial case.
Arguing that citizen journalism is first and foremost situated, embodied and political rather than networked and technology-based, the book offers a grounded analysis of the colonial newspaper, The Herald, published in St.
Croix (Virgin Islands) 1915-25 by a descendant of enslaved people and independently of the colonial ruler, Denmark.
The analysis is informed by Deleuze and Guattari's approach to knowledge production and formulates a critical reading of citizens' and subjects' mediated political engagements then as well as now.
The book discusses current approaches to citizen journalism before turning to The Herald, which is then read against the grain in an attempt to show the embodied politics of colonial history and cultural forms of citizen engagement as these politics evolve in this particular case of journalism
