Abstract

ABSTRACT Sudan experienced a nationwide nonviolent revolution between December 2018 and July 2019, which has remained underrepresented in communication studies literature. This study employs empirical data from personal interviews with Sudanese activists as well as a theoretical framework of social movements based on media ecologies. The study’s theoretical framework considers social movements in terms of their historical contexts and as a whole consisting of communication networks and interaction between various forms of communication and actors, particularly the entanglement of online and offline elements of activism. The research contributes to the body of knowledge on social movements and communication, particularly in Sudan. The findings of the study show that the media ecology approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of the interplay and intertwinement of human actors in social revolution, collective agency, and technologies than the one-medium biased approach used in previous studies on social movements, particularly in the Arab world.

苏丹2018年12月革命:青年联系和集体行动主义的生态

苏丹在2018年12月至2019年7月期间经历了一场全国性的非暴力革命，这在传播学研究文献中仍然缺乏代表性。本研究采用来自苏丹活动家个人访谈的经验数据，以及基于媒体生态的社会运动理论框架。该研究的理论框架考虑了社会运动的历史背景，并将其作为一个整体，包括交流网络和各种形式的交流与行动者之间的互动，特别是行动主义的在线和离线元素的纠缠。这项研究有助于形成关于社会运动和传播的知识体系，特别是在苏丹。研究结果表明，媒介生态学方法提供了对社会革命、集体机构和技术中人类行动者的相互作用和交织的更全面的理解，而不是先前关于社会运动(特别是在阿拉伯世界)的研究中使用的单一媒介偏见方法。

期刊介绍： Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic, and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as: -What are the new and evolving forms of social software? What direction will these forms take? -ICTs facilitating globalization and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences, and regional sub-cultures? -Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy and public expression? -How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care, and leisure activities? -To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces, and entities in the material world? iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences.
