Description
因爲相信自主公民的重要性，政治也不是只有一種意義，《街報》的誕生，是在馬來西亞經常失語的社會，嘗試拋出某些提問與關懷，打開多一點議題、想像和思考。“培力自主的街坊，在眾聲喧嘩的街頭，積極參與日常生活政治”是《街報》報頭的標語。
這一年來，除了本土的實踐經驗，編輯團隊也跨過尋找更多可能。探索過的〈街頭話題〉，從聲音作為社會介入、藝術與社區營造、貧窮年輕化、土地正義、紀錄片的社會實踐、公路使用權、女性主義、占領與公民想像、自己做媒體系列，到移工的故事和雨傘革命，議題多元。街頭人物〉采訪過海內外的社區工作者、社運分子、藝術工作者等，嘗試將各地的個人經驗轉為文字。
〈街頭通識〉則是讀者互動板塊，從日常議題如新聞自由、多元性別、世界盃等探索意識與概念。近期我們更推出“歧視滾蛋系列”，探討老年、單身、肥胖、膚色歧視的群像和迷思。
〈藝文版〉著力挖掘不同行動者的書寫，透過他們的參與、觀察與反思，旨在記錄近年來馬來西亞與其它地方（例如：港臺新印）的民間組織與社區工作的“過程/後台”的痕跡與轉變，作爲一種公民力量的累積。街邊社〉，則從不同的角度和觀點切入各國新聞；最後，街頭開講〉及〈街區生活〉以較詼諧輕鬆的方式從生活看社會萬象。
Street Voice believes in the importance of autonomous civic society and that politics does not have only one kind of meaning. The bulletin has emerged because of the regular muteness of Malaysian society. It is an attempt to raise questions and address concerns, to open up issues for discussion, imagination and reflection. Its masthead is “To support autonomous communities and the voice of the street, to actively participate in the politics of everyday life”.
Besides its experience with local practice, the editorial team seeks other possibilities, starting from the voice as a way to intervene in society and explore diverse “street topics”—from art and community building, impoverished youth, territorial disputes, and social documentary, to highway use rights, feminism, occupation, the civic imaginary, DIY media, volunteer work and the Umbrella Revolution. Street Voice also features an interview column titled “Street Persona”, which attempts to contextualise the experience of local and overseas social workers, activists, artists and others. “Street Premiere” is focused upon interaction with readers as a way to explore everyday topics such as freedom of the press, sexual diversity, the World Cup, etc. Recently, Street Voice has also begun the regular series “Screw Discrimination” to explore elderly, singles, race and weight-related prejudice.
The “Art and Literature” column seeks writing from different activists. Via their participation, observation and reflection, their words record the changing processes and background of civic organisation and social work in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Indonesia in recent years. “Streetside Club” brings a different perspective to news from various countries, and finally, “Street Storytelling” and “Street Life” both use a humourous approach to look at all matters of life.
