Call for Proposals: Videoactivism, Culture and Participation

Which new forms of sociability do on-line video platforms generate? Which is the actual transforming power of participatory video practices? Is on-line video transforming traditional forms of protest and political activism in itself? These are questions that will be discussed in a new GEDISA volume.

The editors are calling for a critical debate on the subject, and welcome contributions which approach on-line video in general, and video activism on the Internet in particular.

Other subjects of interest include:

• Socially transforming experiences based on the use of on-line video
• Impact of on-line video practice within the public sphere
• Visibility of minorities
• Digital video and human rights (witness.org)
• Participatory experiences based on audiovisual technology

Deadline for proposals is 27 January, 2014. For further information, read the full call here.
