‘You can’t demand anything from the system’: Media framing of DIY climate protest campaigns in Australia
This article uses discourse analysis to compare the print media coverage of three civil disobedience campaigns involving non-violent direct action (NVDA) by climate protesters in Australia in 2023, which we will be describing as DIY campaigns. It examines the tactics and goals of these groups and how they attempt to convey their key messages through the media. Narratives of protesters creating safety and economic risks dominate coverage in a way …
Digitizing zines: Spreading resistance discourses in the digital era
Zines are grassroots publications that have long served as media of cultural and political resistance, traditionally circulated in material form within relatively small and tightly bound communities. With the advent of the internet, however, the scope and visibility of zines have expanded well beyond spatial and temporal boundaries, reducing production costs while simultaneously amplifying the reach of counter- hegemonic discourses. This study in…
Activist work is care work: Conceptualising resistance in Indonesia and the Philippines through feminist ethics
This article draws on interview data collected in 2021 from Indonesia and the Philippines to argue that activist work should fundamentally be understood as care work. The first part of the article advocates for a novel inductive theorisation of intersectional care ethics in social movement studies and activist-centred research. The second part of the article utilises this conceptual framework to discuss the paramount role of women in grassroots a…
Do-it-yourself lifestyle movements in grassroots activist communities: A case study of Brisbane, Australia
In this article, we draw on the concepts of lifestyle movements and Do-It-Yourself culture to explore activist identity and practice among grassroots activist groups in Brisbane, Australia. Although Do-It-Yourself ethos is often conceptualised in terms of countercultural ideology linking music, politics and aesthetics, we examine it here as a core characteristic of creative resistance and grassroots organising. We present the case study of an act…
Dilemmas of the activist-researcher: Balancing militant ethnography, security culture, and reflexive ethics in Australia
Ethnographic practice in contentious and high-risk spaces raises important ethical and methodological questions. When working with grassroots activists who actively avoid forms of surveillance, the boundary between consensual observation and potentially harmful documentation becomes difficult to discern. This article aims not only to identify the gaps in qualitative research methodologies for scholars working with grassroots activists, but also t…
Locating DIY in the digital shift: Exploring grassroots activist responses to Covid-19 in Indonesia and the Philippines
This article explores opportunities and obstacles encountered by activists in Indonesia and the Philippines when forced to adapt to COVID-19 regulations. Although digital activism pre-dated the pandemic, mobility restrictions and social isolation have prompted a greater dependence on the virtual realm for protest tactics. The pandemic provides a unique temporal lens to highlight the role of DIY in activist communities in Indonesia and the Philipp…
