Product Description

Review

Bruce D'Arcus examines spectacles of dissent to re-think how political spaces in the contemporary world are produced, contested and mediated. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, he demonstrates that sophisticated spatial analyses of protests, demonstrations, and riots reveal the political capacity of democratic citizenship and the challenges new media present both for state authorities and political dissidents. Lively, thoughtful, and optimistic, Boundaries of Dissent is a powerful, grounded work of cultural and political theory..

Product Description

Boundaries of Dissent looks at the way that political protest, as it is shaped through the space-time collapsing power of media, questions national identity and state authority. Through this lens of protest politics, Bruce D'Arcus examines how public and private space is symbolically mediated-the way that power and dissent are articulated in the contemporary media.
