Panellists:
The classical scholarly texts on community media have tended to define ‘community’ in community media as something that is small, local, geographically rooted, and characterized by intimate bonds among its members – almost in the sense of a Gemeinschaft. In parts of the Global South, this idea of community is even invoked mainly in the context of remote, rural populations heroically resisting mainstream, hegemonic media with media that promote the local, the neighborhood, the village, and such, both geographically and culturally.
Although the idea of ‘communities of interest,’ not bound by territoriality, has been in existence for some time, it is only recently that the intensification of migrations, national and global, the consequential fluidity of identities (e.g. hyphenated, diasporic), and the emergence of a range of communication platforms online are compelling us to re-examine the continued salience of the notion of ‘community’ in community media.

In a global world, the use of digital media technologies for peace and solidarity is an ideal, and still in its infancy; as new media technologies are creating new hierarchies due to uneven access, digital divide, and other discrepancies. Global civil society refers to the communities and groups, operating across borders and outside of governments to provide support and advocacy for people in need and/or issues of the world. The session aims to evaluate global civil society’s role in peace building and solidarity; in what ways and to what extent global civil society is incorporating digital media technologies for peace and solidarity, particularly in areas of conflict, violence, and disintegration. Who is using them to advance dialogue, with what ethical considerations, and mediation processes, and what are the risks and challenges involved? Do we need to develop strategies and ethical guidelines as members of global civil society for a common good? To what extent do the processes of neo-globalization get along with the ideal of peace and solidarity? How can we promote the use of digital media technologies for peace and solidarity at different levels across the globe?
