Sarai Reader 04:
Crisis/Media

The Sarai Reader 04 takes on open questions to map new territories of thought about media practice. It brings in the question of responsive ways of going media that are not captive to “events and issues” but that actually expands communicative potential in society.

The book argues for reclaiming critique, an autonomy of decision against the overproduction of crises and the abdication of critical sensibilities. The reader assembles voices, from journalists, activists, artists, who resist formulaic reportage and explore tactical media interventions. The result is an unruly, necessary conversation that refuses closure and cultivates an engaged, responsible media practice.
