"For decades, social movements have vied for attention from the mainstream mass media--newspapers, radio, and television. Today, many argue that social media power social movements, from the Egyptian revolution to Occupy Wall Street. Yet, as Sasha Costanza-Chock reports, community organizers know that social media enhance, rather than replace, face-to-face organizing. The revolution will be tweeted, but tweets alone do not the revolution make. In Out of the Shadows, Into the Streets! Costanza-Chock traces a much broader social movement media ecology. Through a richly detailed account of daily media practices in the immigrant rights movement, he argues that there is a new paradigm of social movement media making: transmedia organizing. Despite the current spotlight on digital media, he finds, social movement media practices tend to be cross-platform, participatory, and linked to action. Immigrant rights organizers leverage social media creatively, even as they create media ranging from posters and street theater to Spanish-language radio, print, and television. Drawing on extensive interviews, workshops, and media organizing projects, Costanza-Chock presents case studies of transmedia organizing in the immigrant rights movement over the last decade. Chapters focus on the historic mass protests against the anti-immigrant Sensenbrenner Bill; coverage of police brutality against peaceful activists; efforts to widen access to digital media tools and skills for low-wage immigrant workers; paths to participation in DREAM activism; and the implications of professionalism for transmedia organizing. These cases show us how savvy transmedia organizers work to strengthen movement identity, win political and economic victories, and transform public consciousness forever."--Publisher's description.

Castells in Africa: Universities and Development collects the papers produced by Manuel Castells on his visits to South Africa, and publishes them in a single volume for the first time. The book also publishes a series of empirically-based papers which together display the multi-faceted and far-sighted scope of his theoretical framework, and its fecundity for fine-grained, detailed empirical investigations on universities and development in Africa. Castells, in his afterword to this book, always looking forward, assesses the role of the university in the wake of the upheavals to the global economic order. He decides the university's function not only remains, but is more important than ever. This book will serve as an introduction to the relevance of his work for higher education in Africa for postgraduate students, reflective practitioners and researchers. Includes two previously unpublished public lectures and an Afterword by Manuel Castells.

Les sciences humaines et sociales ne sont plus le monopole d’une petite partie du monde, l’Europe occidentale, l’Amérique du Nord, rejointes assez tôt par l’Amérique latine. Elles sont pratiquées partout, avec de plus en plus souvent une capacité des chercheurs à se situer au meilleur niveau, et à participer à des échanges scientifiques réellement planétaires, tout en ayant un fort ancrage dans leur propre société. L’Occident a perdu l’hégémonie scientifique, ce qui présente des implications considérables. Les chercheurs occidentaux, ou formés à l’Ouest, ou par lui, ne peuvent se contenter du projet d’une extension à la planète tout entière de concepts et de catégories nés exclusivement, croit-on trop souvent, dans une seule partie du monde. Nous devons repenser les valeurs universelles […]. L’expression « Penser global » constitue un signe de ralliement pour cet ouvrage qui rassemble les contributions de chercheurs en sciences sociales parmi les plus reconnus dans le monde. Penser global, c’est s’inté-resser à des logiques mondiales, planétaires, et articuler ce niveau d’analyse à d’autres niveaux, régionaux, nationaux ou encore locaux.
