Gerbaudo argues that activists' use of Twitter and Facebook does not fit with the image of a 'cyberspace' detached from physical reality. Instead, social media has been chiefly used as part of a project of re-appropriation of public space, and as a means to exert a form of soft leadership, involved in the 'choreographing' of collective action around symbolic 'occupied squares' from Tahrir to Zuccotti Park. Offering an exciting and invigorating journey through the politics of popular protest, this book points to both the possibilities and the risks that social media bring to the contemporary protest experience."--Page 4 of cover. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Social media|xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Protest movements|xHistory|y21st century. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xMedia Studies.|2bisacsh 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGerbaudo, Paolo.|tTweets and the streets.|dLondon : Pluto Press, 2012|z9780745332499|w(DLC) 2012537013|w(OCoLC)796277392 914 ocn818317949 994 92|bCKE
