Digital Activism in Asia Reader
The digital turn might as well be marked as an Asian turn. From flash-mobs in Taiwan to feminist mobilisations in India, from hybrid media strategies of Syrian activists to cultural protests in Thailand, we see the emergence of political acts that transform the citizen from being a beneficiary of change to becoming an agent of change. In co-shaping these changes, what the digital shall be used for, and what its consequences will be, are both up for speculation and negotiation. Digital Activism in Asia marks a particular shift where these questions are no longer being refracted through the ICT4D logic, or the West's attempts to save Asia from itself, but shaped by multiplicity, unevenness, and urgencies of digital sites and users in Asia. This reader crowd-sources critical tools, concepts, analyses, and annotations, self-identified by a network of change makers in Asia as important in their own practices within their own contexts.
Digital Media Interventions in Southeast Asia
This book provides a much-needed critical exploration of digital media interventions in Southeast Asia, while adopting a decolonial perspective to address issues such as digital inequality, mistrust, and the manipulation of digital spaces. By emphasizing State-society initiatives that foster connective responsibility and collective resilience, it engages with original concepts such as rhizomorphic publics, digital media ecovillages, and digital sociocracy to challenge conventional power structures, offering new models and frameworks for collaboration and participatory governance. Through case studies, the book introduces the Southeast Asia DE-FINED (De-colonial Framework for Inclusive Networking, Engagement and Dialogue) framework and demonstrates how societies in this region can reshape digital landscapes, regenerate communities, and foster equitable governance, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists engaged in Southeast Asia's digital transformation.
Insurgent Media from the Front

This anthology examines how activists have used media technology to effect social and political change from the 1940s to today. In the 1940s, it was 16 mm film. In the 1980s, it was handheld video cameras. Today, it is cell phones and social media. Activists have always found ways to use the media du jour for quick and widespread distribution. InsUrgent Media from the Front looks at activist media practices in the twenty-first century and sheds light on what it means to enact change using different media of the past and present. The term “insUrgent media” highlights the ways grassroots media activists challenge hegemonic norms like colonialism, patriarchy, imperialism, classism, and heteronormativity—while also conveying the urgency of this work. With chapters focused on indigenous resistance, community media, and the use of media as activism throughout US history, this anthology emphasizes the wide reach media activism has had over time.
