N2  - Innovations in media inevitably have a profound impact on methods and forms of protest. Drawing on the work of key theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Raymond Williams, this text looks specifically at changes in media practices within the context of major historic economic crises. Anne Kaun uses richly detailed case studies from 3 different economic crises - the unemployed workers' movement during the Great Depression, the rent strike movement of the early 1970s and the Occupy Wall Street protests following the recession of 2008 - in order to provide an in-depth analysis of the cultural, economic and social consequences of media technologies and their role in shaping resistance to capitalism
