PhillyCAM: A Hub for Media Makers on Ranstead Street
This article fulfills a double objective: on the one hand, it presents in detail and richly an outstanding experience of community television in an important city such as Philadelphia. It does so based on a particular event, such as the presence and work of a lady -television producer, who has a track record in this field and is recognized for her experience and creativity. And on the other hand, it presents a narrative based on the ethnographic …

Between incursions and appropriations: Digital technologies and pluriversal modernities in the Global South
Based on a recent body of scholarship that addresses the epistemologies of the South, our goal is to incite a shift in how we conceptualize technology adoption in the Global South. We interrogate the notion that the role of digital technologies in these regions follows a linear model of progress from traditional lifeways toward industrial modernity. Joining a recent shift toward decolonizing the study of the flow of digital technologies in the Gl…
Media and Communications
Developments in digital technologies over the last 30 years have expanded massively human beings' capacity to communicate across time and space (Section 13.1).Media infrastructures have simultaneously acquired huge complexity.By "media" we mean technologies for the production, dissemination, and reception of communication, but also the contents distributed through those technologies and the institutions associated with their production, dissemina…
Media, communication and the struggle for social progress
This article discusses the role of media and communications in contributing to social progress, as elaborated in a landmark international project – the International Panel on Social Progress. First, it analyses how media and digital platforms have contributed to global inequality by examining media access and infrastructure across world regions. Second, it looks at media governance and the different mechanisms of corporatized control over media p…
Studying media at the margins: Learning from the field
This chapter draws from specific research studies on community/alternative/citizens' media to reflect on how we theorize media at the margins. At the margins, media tend to be less universal, less driven by global trends and markets, and more grounded in local time, place, interest, and need; this is one of the first aspects we can identify as a major difference between media at the center and media at the margins. At the margins, media have gene…
How Can We Tell the Story of the Colombian War: Bastardized Narratives and Citizen Celebrities
This article explores how popular culture theory can be used in postconflict situations to raise awareness about human rights violations. This case study investigates a media narrative produced by the Memory Center in Colombia, about a political assassination of a community leader. On February 12, 2009, Luis Arango was murdered in the Colombian region known as Magdalena Medio. Arango was a fisherman and a leader of local and regional fishing comm…
Four challenges in the field of alternative, radical and citizens’ media research
In January 1994 the Zapatista movement in southern Mexico inaugurated a new era of media use for dissent. Since that time, an array of dissenting collectives and individuals have appropriated media technologies in order to make their voices heard or to articulate alternative identities. From Zapatista media to the Arab Spring, social movements throughout the world are taking over, hybridizing, recycling, and adapting media technologies. This new …
Citizens' Media against Armed Conflict: Disrupting Violence in Colombia
For two years, the author did ethnographic fieldwork in regions of Colombia where leftist guerrillas, right-wing paramilitary groups, the army, and drug traffickers made their presence felt in the lives of unarmed civilians. Here, she tells the story of how these civilians use community radio, television, video, digital photography, and the internet to shield their communities from armed violence's negative impacts.
Citizens’ Media against Armed Conflict: Disrupting Violence in Colombia
For two years, fieldwork was carried out in regions of Colombia where leftist guerillas, right-wing paramilitary groups, the army, and drug traffickers made their presence felt in the lives of unarmed civilians. This book tells the story of the ways in which people living in the shadow of these armed intruders use community radio, television, video, digital photography, and the Internet to shield their communities from armed violence's negative i…
Dioxins, Furans and PCBs in Recycled Water for Indirect Potable Reuse
An assessment of potential health impacts of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds in recycled water for indirect potable reuse was conducted. Toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) for 2,3,7,8-substituted polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) congeners have been developed by the World Health Organization to simplify the risk assessment of complex mixtures. Samples of secondary tr…
The poetics of indigenous radio in Colombia
In 2002, 14 indigenous radio stations began operating in Colombia reaching 78.6 percent of the national indigenous population. Colombian indigenous radio stations are shaped by intense deliberations among each indigenous people about the poetics of information and communication technologies, understood as the exploration of the specific sets of social, cultural and political relations in which each radio station would exist if brought into each i…
Introduction: Between Macondo and McWorld: communication and culture studies in Latin America
However, as new hybrid cultural configurations reflective of recent 'globalizing' processes such as liberalization, privatization, and democratization have surfaced (Garca Canclini, 1989), theorists have been forced to reconsider the relationship(s) between culture and power.For mass communication scholars, this has meant rethinking how the cultural industries serve to enable certain kinds of social control while also stimulating the expression o…
Citizens' Media and the Voice of the Angel/Poet
This article is an in depth critique of a 1 minute film titled 'Wide Fields', produced in 1997 by 3 young girls. It uses the film to highlight the concept of 'citizens' media', and examines the processes of authorization and the fragmentation of power that arises when people gain access to media. French philosopher Luce Irigaray's angel/poet theory extends the concept into the regions of ontology, aesthetics and ethics
Shattering Butterflies and Amazons: Symbolic Constructions of Women in Colombian Development Discourse
This article analyzes the construction of gender in development discourse. As development projects are designed and implemented by Third World men and women, local symbolic constructions of gender, class, and race permeate development discourse. The result is a multilayered discourse of development that negotiates Western discourse of modernity with local discourses of race, class, and gender. This analysis examines the intersection of developmen…

Shedding useless notions of alternative media
The time is 1984. Somehow I find myself riding one of the mules that form our expedition, slowly wandering up and down a winding Andean trail. I can see our video equipment shaking and swaying on the mule ahead of me. “I hope the vibrations don't damage the camera,” I think. Four men travel with me and the mules. They belong to a grassroots organization of campesinos (peasants), what in Latin America we call grupos populates. This grupo popular s…
