Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The relationship between media, state architecture, and the representation of identity shifts based on multiple interrelated factors including media technologies, intended audiences, and those engaged in media practices. In this chapter, Jeffrey Kruth argues that recent events in the United States present a variety of strategies that both affirm and disavow particular relationships between populations and state architecture through the use of media. Certain groups like the Boogaloo Boys attempt to affirm their identity through the strategic use of media in relation to state architecture. Other groups like Black Lives Matter often attempt to diffuse their relationship to state architecture choosing instead to occupy other strategic and symbolic sites in the city including infrastructural sites like highways. Through a close reading of a variety of tactics deployed both by politicians and protest movements in recent years, Kruth argues that the tactics of representation through protest movements at key symbolic infrastructural sites offer insights for considering fluid identities in the service of achieving protestor aims. Finally, Kruth offers that these protest tactics challenge notions of universalism and the user in the mediatic city. |
