Emiliano Treré (Cardiff University) – (After) Hybrid Media Activism

In the last talk (at least until the paperback edition is published in 2020…) about his book, Hybrid Media Activism (Routledge, 2018), Emiliano reflects on the current and future challenges of research into the evolving relationship between media technologies and social movements (what he calls the Media/Movement Dynamic: MMD). Relying on an extensive meta-analysis of the scholarship and drawing on his own research over the last ten years, he illustrates the key lessons of the last two decades of inquiry into the MMD and then maps the pressing challenges and the novel lines of inquiry of this growing area of study.
