Protest Campaigns, Media and Political Opportunities:
An examination of the creation and exploitation of media and political opportunities by protest groups
Speaker: Dr Jonathan Cable, University of Cardiff
This paper is concerned with the interactions between protest groups, their political targets and the mainstream media. Paying particular attention to the tactical repertoires and media strategies protest groups, and how their messages are transmitted through protest action and into mainstream media coverage and political debates. Using three protest groups as the core case studies, this paper covers a range of different protest tactics and issues from the conventional to the confrontational. They take the form of a local community campaign to save a pub, Plane Stupid’s actions against airport expansion, and the mass protests by G20Meltdown against the G20 in London in 2009.
This paper argues that relative success and failure of protest action in achieving a group’s goals lies in the extent to which issues and the reasons behind protest are explained in the mainstream media, and the positioning of an issue on the political agenda. Further, protest action is situated within a wider context of mainstream media and political opportunities. The more a group can create and exploit these opportunities the greater their ability to propagate their message as far as possible and achieve their goals.

Improvisation, Form and Narrative
Speaker: Charles Williams, CCCU
Charles Williams, Senior Lecturer for Painting in the Fine and Applied Art programme, is putting together a PhD (PAR) proposal, looking at his studio practice and theoretical background. The areas he is looking at specifically are Observational Drawing in his training background and its role in determining the realisation of form in his work, the role of improvisation in the studio process, and the layering of narratives in the work. Charles will present a slide show of the work and supporting imagery and would welcome suggestions and comments on these elements.
Born in Evanston, Illinois, USA, Charles Williams was educated at Kent College in Canterbury, Maidstone College of Art and the Royal Academy, London. He was elected to the New English Art Club (NEAC) in 1996 and in 1999 was a founder member of the Stuckist group. He has shown his work in London, the UK and abroad, including a solo exhibition at the Bakersfield Museum of Art in California. He is the author of Basic Drawing (Robert Hale, 2011) and Basic Watercolour (Robert Hale, 2014).
