ISBN: 9780823221011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor almost forty years, DeeDee Halleck has been involved in a variety of projects that involve media making by “non-professionals.” Her goal has been to develop a critical sense of the potential and limitations of mediated communication through practical exercises that generate a sense of both individual and non-hierarchical group power over the various apparati of media and electronic technology. Hand-Held Visions is a collection of essays, presentations, and lectures that she has written throughout this process.\n\nHalleck starts with a discussion of her own development as a teacher, producer, and an active participant in the struggle for media democracy. She gives the reader a historical first-person perspective on the community-based media movement and a sense of the determination and resolve that have enabled often fragile and much embattled organizations and individuals to survive in a climate dominated by global media corporations that are in direct opposition to their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44956375547957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0823221016","price":105.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780823221011_337fb658-d7a5-4409-b57f-6b3f3725da25.jpg?v=1778788622","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/handheld-visions-the-uses-of-community-media-communications-and-media-studies-series-no-5-9780823221011","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
