Demoversion / Krawalle und Hiebe / Teil B
How is the resistance formed? What instruments, methods and strategies are chosen to be heard and to enforce the intentions of the resistance?
“The choice of the word is part of the fight.” („Die Wahl des Wortes ist Teil des Kampfes.)“ Rabinovici: Der ewige Widerstand.- 2008. S. 112
The increasing aesthetic representation and performance of protest seems to become more and more popular to the mass, who is raising their voices on the streets. In analogy to that, there appears the quest for strong, mostly multi- connoted pictures and symbols. Strong images draw quite an attention. This is also reflected in a increased media presence, which became essential for the protest movements within the 21st century. The media “over-communication”, which is mainly driven by the internet, gives also a new perspective on and behind the scenes of protest movements, thus enabling a direct (?) insight into the strategies, plans and intentions, which are developed in the process of resistance.
