Urgent publishing
Definition[edit]
Urgent publishing, or "publishing as activism," is the act of making content public in response to a pressing or critical situation[1]. For example, underground newspapers and the underground press have played an important role in bringing people together during protests[2], and self-publishing has been used in social movements to inform, bring about change,[3] and organize dissent (i.e., The Black Panther newspaper, The Occupy Wall Street Journal[4]). Urgent publishing may be characterized as the amplification of material in the public sphere in an agile and time-sensitive manner, running counter to conventional narrative, like a sudden act of protest that involves the display or performance of a message in physical space[5][6]. Acts of urgent publishing may shift material from private to public space, exposing information in an effort to disturb or interrupt normative power relations[7] — for example, when the artist Ai Weiwei posted a video that published a list of the unannounced names of 4,851 children who perished in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake[8]. Urgent publishing may take the form of socio-political protest, manifestos, leaks, poetry,[9] social media[10], and protest art.
