當代社會，人們從睜開眼睛就開始不間斷地使用各種媒體。但這個媒體生態(media ecology)卻往往被當權者—國家與資本掌握。國家越發嫻熟的拿著納稅錢進行大外宣或大內宣，運用置入性行銷等手法進行認知作戰，宣傳政績鞏固政權。資本家則建立媒體帝國(media conglomerates)，挾著對文化內容生產的掌控與平台的壟斷，不間斷的傳送廣告和運用大數據與演算法蒐集、儲存與販售使用者的個人資訊。1990年代原本以為網路允諾的烏托邦世界更成現世反諷，黑暗網路與匿名激發的性格惡性，致使網軍、網路小白(Troll)、侵害者肆虐，網路霸凌、出征、甚至出現駭人的如韓國N號房的網路性犯罪事件。隨著網路足跡的陰魂不散，侵害個人的文化權、名譽、甚至逼人至死。
然而，文化是聯合國保障的文化公民權(Cultural Citizenship)，牽涉到我們的自我認同、自我表達聲音的權力、多元資訊的接觸權以及針對社會議題進行倡議，推動公共討論與社會變革，維持民主社會的重要根基。在這堂課，我們介紹傳播領域的一個新興勃發的重要陣地—人民如何運用文化力量，認識自我、獲得培力；對抗國家與資本的宰制，建立另類媒體；針對社會議題，學習如何倡議，表達訴求，引起公共討論與推動變革。
在這堂課，我們強調理論與實踐的結合。在理論上爬梳何為文化行動主義(cultural activism)、另類媒體(Alternative Media)、離散媒體(Diaspora Media)、文化反堵(Culture Jamming)。形式上認識抗議歷史悠久的版畫、小誌，以及感染力強的影像行動主義(Video Activism)。同時我們會搭配理論，進行重要個案的引介，讓同學感受到文化行動的創意之美、實踐的甜與苦以及對人與社會的深刻影響。教育理念上，反對異化的學習，強調讓同學體現龐克的DIY精神，親身嘗試的重要性。讓腦中的理論、心中的感覺、身體的感受以及與社會的接觸，融合為一，實現全身心的學習。
