Images, citizen participation and political change
“Authoritarian models do not favour neither social interaction nor the circulation of information within society. Media became a way of de-subjectify social subjects, especially if they oppose party power” (Manaev, 1995: 134)
• Surge of personal and life accounts in the public domain
• Sharing of political opinions is widespread
• Appropriation of media tools as a way to document socio-political change and as a means for self-representation
