ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the multi-media networks that were built while developing the participatory action research project in the US and Bangladesh. The process of translation in Actor Network Theory again played a key role in really sorting out the way in which these media networks were built and how the actors/actants were involved in the four-step process to support the growth, flow and complexity of the emerging transnational participatory network. The global media team had a clear strategy on how to proceed, based on previous experiences and general group vision, and this seemed to be a suitable approach for all of us as long as they shared with the entire group what their exact plans looked like. Overall, in the case of media amplification of BGreen, both large and small media, public and private, English and Bengali, provided equal amounts of support in Bangladesh.
