On a more general level, Bart Cammaerts has been addressing theoretical notions of (participatory) democracy, globalisation/transnationalisation, participation, access, (self-)representation, public sphere, power, social change and counter-hegemonic strategies of resistance. Within these areas, media and communication is considered to have different meanings, as a symbolic arena for the (re-)production of meaning, as a citizenship right, as a political actor, or as a tool for empowerment and activism but also as a tool of propaganda and the dissemination of discourses of hatred. With regard to methodologies Dr Cammaerts has combined quantitative methods, such as surveys, with qualitative methods, such as interviews and critical discourse analysis. A recurrent theme in his research relates to overcoming rigid dichotomies such as alternative/mainstream, new/old media, public/private, and considered the interactions between both ends of the dichotomy. While these dichotomies have a role to play in structuring our way of thinking about the social and the political, reality is often much messier.
Regarding future research Dr Cammaerts is working on current activist cultures and how a media and communication-saturated environment impacts on activist identities, the nature of protest and more broadly civic cultures; community radio regulation in a digital age and multi-stakeholderism; and the consequences of different patterns of consumption of and value attributed to music for alternative labels and artists.
