Arguing that the screen is a fruitful, if overlooked, analytical focus, the book explores how visual narratives of protest wander across borders - territorial, temporal and generic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters compare coverage of major protests in recent history by global news channels like Al Jazeera English, BBC World, CNN International and RT. They consider how geopolitical agendas, newsroom culture and the ubiquity of eyewitness footage shape the narration of events such as the 'Umbrella Revolution' in Hong Kong, anti-austerity protests in Greece, pro-EU mobilizations in the Ukraine and clashes in Ferguson. A focus on narrative allows authors to compare such news stories with popular cultural depictions of the protester, in films and television series such as \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRobin Hood \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSuffragette\u003c\/i\u003e. Although focussed on the screen, the scope of the book is broad, given its exploration of images distributed worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with both scholars and students in mind, \u003ci\u003eScreening Protest\u003c\/i\u003e will interest researchers in political science, sociology, media and film studies, as well as the general reader interested in current affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexa Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138042137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138042131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alexa Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113263706367,"sku":"9781138042131","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_180f89b4-222b-41e3-98fe-5333acfe3e7e.jpg?v=1769613960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/screening-protest-alexa-robertson-9781138042131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
