Summary
[edit]DescriptionTahrir Square - Protesters Charging Mobile Phones (6620193705).jpg |
10 February 2011. One of the biggest problems with using a camera or phone during the revolution was running out of power and being far from home or any power point. Here a shop allows protesters to use their supply to charge up phones. This photograph was used for the cover of "Democracy's Fourth Wave: Digital Media and the Arab Spring" by Philip N Howard and Muzammil M Hussain. ( Oxford University Press 2013 ) <a href="http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199936977.do" rel="nofollow">ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199936977.do</a> They look at the complex role of the internet, mobile phones and social networking in the protest movements of the Arab Spring and to what extent digital media helped to topple the regimes of Mubarak, Ben Ali and Gaddafi. They argue that digital media allowed disparate communities to realize shared grievances and also crucially to collaborate and mobilize in a way not seen before, enabling them to overpower the forces of the state. The role of digital media was perhaps especially important in Egypt where most people had long lost faith in the printed press which if not owned directly by government appointed editors, at least slavishly followed the government line. |
