Docent lecture - Paola SartorettoWelcome to Paola Sartoretto's associate professor lecture! Titel: How do marginalised groups use media as tools for political action? What is the importance of communication for social mobilsation under conditions of oppression? In this lecture I reflect on my ten years of research on activist media and communication within social movements to understand the conditions through which communicative processes can be a way to resist against oppression. The work of Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire, internationally known for his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, foregrounds the discussion in which I establish connections between education, communication and political action. Freire argued that learning to ‘write the word’ is essential to ‘write the world’ and overcome oppression. I argue that in hyper-mediated and unequal contemporary societies writing the world is a communicative process that includes, but is not limited to, resistant appropriations of media technologies by marginalised groups.
