By definition marginal voices are rarely heard; their appearances in the his-torical record are even less frequent. Examples of such expression often have to be carefully searched for and sometimes freed from the institutional frame-works in which they were collected. In the process we may find that people’s intentions have been translated into stereotypes far removed from an original impulse. Overcoming these perceived difficulties has been a significant fac-tor in some forms of ‘alternative ’ and ‘radical ’ media which have aimed to challenge dominant structures and assumptions. Indeed, there is a long his-tory of diverse and varied initiatives in what may be broadly defined as radi-cal literature (for instance, Hollis, 1970). A few important critical studies have also charted recent examples of alternative and radical media, an interest which testifies to the continuing significance of such forms within political, social and cultural movements (Atton, 2002; Downing, 2001)
