In person icon Media, Social Participation and Subaltern Publics

Abstract

In contemporary democracies, the establishment of a public space being more open and accessible to the less favored groups, popular movements and communities is a major challenge. The role of the media is both part of the problem and the solution. On the one hand, they strengthen or even produce distances and the bursting of the public space. On the other hand, their use by social movements and civil society can establish connections between different public spaces, include marginalized populations and help regain the public nature of certain issues. This is one of two panels proposing a discussion of both sides, focusing on the plurality of voices in the public space. It will the debate concentration of media, the representation of collective action or less favored people in mass media as well as the appropriation of media by these groups.
