商品簡介
The origins of social movement theory lie in close interaction between scholars and movement activists but recently, as the field has become more established in the academy, much of this connection has become lost. Both activism and theory, contend Croteau (formerly, sociology and anthropology, Virginia Commonwealth U.), Hoynes (sociology and media studies, Vassar College), and Ryan (codirector, Media Research and Action Project, Boston College), suffer from this disconnect. They present 14 essays from both sides of the divide that seek to identify means of re-connecting theory and practice through discussions of the benefits of linking scholarship to movement strategy and examinations of successful collaborations (such as in the media reform movement).
