Alternative Media and the Politics of Resistance. Perspectives and Challenges
In these essays, a series of authors get to grips with the multiple facets of “nano-media.” Some of their observations are very much at the conceptual level, others specific to a place and a time, while others blend both approaches. Contributions to the international conference “Alternative Media and New Public Settings” (Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2006) discuss different “nano-media” forms and practices, which surface as tellers of truth, which serve as sites for fresh interpretations of our realities, and which often disrupt the frames and conventions of mainstream mediated communication.
