Full textThis dissertation investigates emotional contagion in social movements within social media platforms, such as Twitter. The main research question is: How does a protest behavior spread in social networks? The following sub-questions are: (a) What is the dynamic behind the anger contagion in online social networks? (b) What are the key variables for ensuring emotional spread? We gained access to Twitter data sets on protests in Charlotte, NC (2016) and Charlottesville, VA (2017). Although these two protests differ in their triggering points, they have similarities in their macro behaviors during the peak protest times. To understand the influence of anger spread among users, we extracted user mention networks from the data sets. Most of the mentioned users are influential ones, who have a significant number of followers. This shows that influential users occur as the highest in-degree nodes in the core of the networks, and a change in these nodes affects all connected public users/nodes. Then, we examined modularity measures quite high within users’ own communities. After implementing the networks, we ran experiments on the anger spread according to various theories with two main assumptions: (1) Anger is the triggering emotion for protests and (2) Twitter mentions affect distribution of influence in social networks. We found that user connections with directed links are essential for the spread of influence and anger; i.e., the angriest users are the most isolated ones with less number of followers, which signifies their low impact level in the network.

Full textIn my dissertation, I have explored the role of social media in social organization and mobilization.Theoretically, I draw upon sociological and organizational concepts such as collective action, collective identity, and social movements and adopt a process and practice perspective and follow sociomaterial theorizing. Adopting an interpretivist approach, I qualitatively analyze data from two sources: online data (MySF content including photos, captions, and comments) and interview with the founder of the page and its contributors

Full textIn line with recent interest in social movements in OT and IS literatures and vis-à-vis the increasing digitalization of societies, in this dissertation I study the material enactment of social movements with, through, and by social media. In so doing, instead of separating social media and social movements to study their interactions—a maneuver that forecloses investigation into the situated constitution of both—I adopt a posthumanist performative perspective and shift my analytical gaze on the everyday actions and practices entailed in social media activism. This dissertation contributes to both OT and IS literatures. Specifically, in each essay I develop a practice-based material-discursive understanding of the subject matter that is useful in engaging, investigating, and making sense of phenomena entailed in social media organizing and their consequences. The novelty and relevance for the OT literature comes from attending to the constitutive role of materiality in organizing processes, while, an additional novelty and relevance for the IS literature comes from attending to issues of contestation, politics, and collective agency vis-à-vis social media. Finally, I make a distinctive contribution by attending to the understudied context of right-wing movements

Full textSocial media has become part of the extended public space as a consequence of development in ICT. It is thus a space to form public opinion and for political influence, which means it can also be exploited by political and commercial interests for concealed information influence. Astroturfing is one of many available information influence activities and the purpose of this study is to attain a greater understanding of astroturfing by answering the following research question: What characterizes digital political astroturfing, and why is astroturfing used for information influence in social media? To answer the research question I have conducted qualitative interviews with four experts and done a literature study. The results show that the two main characteristics of astroturfing are; that it tries to look like a grassroots movement and; that those who orchestrate it have concealed their real identity and purpose. This can be done in many different ways and the methods can be combined to fit the context in which one is trying to use astroturfing as an information influence activity. The results from both previous research and interviews thus show that it is very difficult to identify astroturfing with certainty. The results also show that the main reason why astroturfing is used in social media is that it is easy and inexpensive. The literature claims that mimicking a social movement gives a certain legitimacy and can contribute to mobilization, which is confirmed by the interviews. But the interviews also point out that it is unlikely to have any major impact compared to how inexpensive it is to orchestrate astroturfing in social media.

Full textThis study looks into communicative processes and media practices among members of a subaltern social movement. The aim is to gain an understanding of how these processes and practices contribute to symbolic cohesion in the movement, how they develop and are socialized into practices, and how these processes and practices help challenge hegemonic groups in society. These questions are explored through a qualitative study, based on fieldwork and interviews, of a subaltern social movement. The empirical object of the study is the Brazilian Landless Workers Movement (MST), which was founded in 1984 to promote agrarian reform and defend the rights of rural workers in Brazil. The results show that communicative processes are crucial to reinforcing values and symbologies associated with the rural worker identity. There is also a high level of reflexivity about media practices and an understanding that they must serve the principles of the collective. As a consequence, the movement seeks to maintain control over media, routinely discussing and evaluating the adoption and use of media. The interviews show ambivalence towards the alleged dialogic and organisational potential of digital media and to the adaptability of these media to the MST’s organisational processes.

Full textABSTRACT
Purpose/aim: Are there any differences between how “old” and “young” groups within social movements in Sweden view (value) and use alternative and mainstream media?
Material/method: The answer to the research problem is sought by conducting qualitative research interviews with representatives of four different groups: Alternativ Stad, Folkkampanjen mot Kärnkraft-Kärnvapen, Attac Sverige and Ingen Människa är Illegal. The theoretical framework consists of research on social movements, especially on their relation to media, and on alternative media.
Main results: There exist some, but not great, differences between how “old” and “young” groups view and use mainstream and alternative media. The differences are relatively small when it comes to views on media and somewhat larger concerning media use. These differences in media use stem mostly from the differences in organizational structure.
Keywords: Social movements, alternative media, mainstream media, media views, media usage.

Full textEl comienzo del siglo XXI fue testigo del nacimiento de las redes sociales, que llevaron las comunicaciones personales y sociales a nuevas metas. Estos nuevos medios de comunicación, respaldados por unas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en constante cambio, permitieron la creación de nuevas esferas de discusión multidisciplinarias y multiculturales. En este contexto, el uso de los nuevos medios por parte de los movimientos activistas políticos ha atraído la atención de la comunidad académica en los últimos años. Recientemente, ha aparecido un nuevo actor en este campo: Cataluña. Esta región autónoma en España ha sido testigo de las mayores manifestaciones en Europa en los últimos tiempos, con cientos de miles de personas obstruyendo las calles de sus ciudades para pedir la independencia de Cataluña. Nuestro estudio se centra en las diversas teorías de los movimientos sociales y el activismo político, en como se inter-relación con los nuevos medios de comunicación y las nuevas tecnologías, y en cómo se aplican al caso catalán, mientras se comparan las características de las protestas catalanas con otras como la Primavera Árabe, la Revolución Egipcia, el movimiento indignados 15-M, o las marchas Occupy Wall Street.
The beginning of the 21st century witnessed the birth of social networks, which took personal and social communications to new heights. These new means of communication, supported by ever-changing information and communication technologies, allowed for the creation of new, multidisciplinary and multicultural spheres of discussion. In this context, new media usage by political activist movements has attracted the attention of the academic community over recent years. Recently, a new actor has appeared in this field: Catalonia. This autonomous region in Spain has witnessed the biggest demonstrations in Europe in recent times, with hundreds of thousands clogging the streets calling for Catalan independence. Our study focuses on the various theories of social movements and political activism, how do these relate to new media and new technologies, and how these apply to the Catalan case, while comparing the characteristics of the Catalan protests to others such as the Arab Spring, the Egyptian Revolution, the 15-M Indignados movement, or the Occupy Wall Street marches.

Esta Dissertação tem por objetivo de pesquisa investigar como a grande mídia nacional constrói e veicula representações do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), particularmente aquelas encontradas na revista ISTOÉ. Enfoca-se o processo discursivo veiculado por essa mídia a respeito do MST, decompondo-o a partir de elementos que identifiquem os seus múltiplos aspectos, centrando-se na construção de imagens e na análise dos argumentos ideológicos. O trabalho de pesquisa foi realizado junto à Biblioteca Central do Estado da Bahia, em Salvador, sendo analisado o universo total de matérias produzido pela revista ISTOÉ entre janeiro de 2001 e dezembro de 2006. Para a análise do discurso foram definidas categorias básicas com o objetivo de compreender como a ideologia configura o discurso midiático hegemônico sobre os movimentos sociais. Os resultados demonstram a representação negativa e estereotipada do MST veiculada pela ISTOÉ, apontando, no entanto, para a necessária relação entre mídia e movimentos sociais.

Full textThe Gezi Park protests, which started in May 2013 in Istanbul, rapidly turned into a movement for democracy across the country. Through in-depth interviews with protestors in Turkey, observation and content analysis, my research examines the role digital technologies played in the protests. These technologies, especially social networking tools, were used by protestors to construct personalized frameworks and forms of action. I show that this process depended on the individuals’ interpretations of their current political and cultural context, their alternative frameworks of reality. By expressing these frameworks individuals, first and foremost, challenged the politico-cultural adjustment of the society by various powerful actors. Moreover, as individuals got together in protest, alternative frameworks of reality interacted, leading to the emergence of empathy and dialogue among the protestors for long-term movement success. Digital technologies provided the necessary alternative sources for news and other information for the reconstruction of these frameworks. Moreover, they became the primary space for the production and circulation of jokes in various forms, as protestors used humor and creativity as central strategies to voice their dissent. Affective and humorous creations challenged the discipline of the political authority, hacked its presentations of reality and contributed to the formation of a carnivalesque society, where empathy and dialogue were maintained through collective effervescence

Tem como objetivo investigar se o uso dos media sociais pelos movimentos sociais no Brasil, entre os anos de 2013 e 2016, enquanto instrumentos de comunicação no contexto da e-democracia, foram importantes para uma maior participação política dos cidadãos. O estudo busca contribuir empiricamente para a análise dos media sociais e da participação política na internet, a partir de um inquérito por questionário aplicado a 450 cidadãos que participaram ou acompanharam os movimentos sociais brasileiros, além de uma entrevista semiestruturada com a Porta-Voz Nacional do Movimento Vem Pra Rua. A partir de um estado da arte, foram estudadas as teorias da sociedade em rede, paradigma tecnológico, cibercultura, agendamento, teoria das redes, esfera pública, edemocracia, participação política e cidadania digital, em busca de um embassamento científico que sustentem os objetivos deste trabalho. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram que mais de 80% dos inquiridos acreditam no potencial dos media sociais para promover mais participação política na democracia e para modificar a maneira como os cidadãos se relacionam com a política, contudo, discutiu-se os problemas da participação política e como os novos movimentos sociais podem se inserir em um contexto e-democrático. Foi possível concluir que apesar dos media sociais serem relevantes para os movimentos sociais, é necessário que as inquietações individuais expostas na rede se transformem em problemas coletivos originando movimentos que ocupem o espaço urbano.
This paper is related to the dissertation of Master in Social Communication, with a focus on Strategic Communication, from the Institute of Social and Political Sciences (ISCSP), University of Lisbon. It aims to investigate whether the use of social media by social movements in Brazil, between the years of 2013 and 2016, as instruments of communication in the context of e-democracy, were important for a greater political participation of citizens. The study seeks to contribute empirically to the analysis of social media and political participation on the internet, based on a questionnaire survey with 450 citizens who participated or accompanied the Brazilian social movements, in addition to a semistructure interview with the National Spokesperson of Movimento Vem Pra Rua. From a state of the art, theories of network society, technological paradigm, cyberculture, agenda-setting, network theory, public sphere, e-democracy, political participation and digital citizenship in search of a scientific foundation that support the objectives this work. The results of the survey indicated that more than 80% of respondents believe in the potential of social media to promote more political participation in democracy and to change the way citizens relate to politics. However, the problems of political participation and how the new social movements can be inserted in an e-democratic context. It was possible to conclude that although social media are relevant to social movements, they are sufficient only if the individual anxieties exposed in the network become collective problems originating movements that occupy the urban space.

Full textIn 2006, Mariane Valverde announced the birth of what she called, “a new type in the history of sexuality” (155), the Respectable Same-Sex Couple. This work analyzes newspaper coverage of same-sex couples during the Massachusetts campaign for marriage equality to explore the content of and contours around that new socio-sexual category. The processes involved in the incorporation of lesbians and gay men into the governing relations of American society are used to explain the development of this type, and its replacement of the pathological Homosexual. The manufacture of respectability by movement activists is explored via the selection of “public face couples” as a framing strategy that links the lives of these couples to marriage itself and the hardships they suffer due to their inability to marry. The respectability of these couples and their incorporation as economic citizens is also linked to representations of professional status, upward mobility, economic success, and the creation of identity-based markets through entrepreneurial and consumptive practices. Boundaries around this respectability are evident in stories of failure, either to remain together as couples or to act in accordance with marital normative standards, while the boundaries between Heterosexuality and Homosexuality, and among and between same-sex and different-sex couples, are also being re-drawn as marriage becomes available. The broader historical transformation of lesbian and gay life is discusses in the development of new life-scripts becoming available. While these transformations have led to greater possibilities for the living of gay and lesbian lives, the absorption of these lives into governing relations also erases and expels other queer life practices and reinforces other forms of social inequality and injustice

Full textEl activismo a través de los medios sociales se ha convertido en un elemento básico de casi todos los movimientos modernos del mundo. El atractivo de estas herramientas es obvio en su prevalencia y diversidad de usos. Las redes sociales permiten que cualquier voz, en cualquier lugar, sea escuchada por cualquier persona en todo el mundo, incluidas aquellas que tienen el poder de implementar los cambios necesarios a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, el mundo aún no ha descubierto cómo se puede usar de manera más efectiva y evitar las trampas de convertirse en el llamado slacktivismo (una virtualización que no es activa, en realidad, postureo) en lugar de activismo. Muchos usuarios participan en movimientos porque están de moda en lugar de por los cambios buscados, lo que conduce a la inconsistencia y a una disminución del impacto. Otros usuarios infrautilizan las herramientas o las usan incorrectamente. Hay varias razones por las cuales los movimientos fallan, y la mayoría de esas razones provienen de la forma en que los participantes del movimiento usan herramientas para el activismo. Como resultado de esto, para garantizar que los movimientos actuales y futuros puedan operar con la máxima efectividad, el aspecto más importante de los movimientos a estudiar son los participantes y la consistencia del uso. Esta tesis arroja luz sobre cómo involucrar a los participantes lo mejor posible al analizar el uso de Facebook por parte de los participantes en el movimiento Black Lives Matter, así como en el Movimiento de Independencia de Cataluña, si éstos han tenido éxito hasta ahora a través de un análisis de los cambios legales, y también a través de un examen de la consistencia de los movimientos a lo largo del tiempo. Estos dos movimientos parecen ser increíblemente diferentes, lo cual es bueno para llegar a una conclusión imparcial, sin embargo, tienen muchas similitudes en que ambos han tenido varios grados de éxito a lo largo de los años y buscan cambios sociales y legales que transformarán en gran medida sus sociedades respectivas. El movimiento Black Lives Matter fue creado para combatir los homicidios injustos de hombres y mujeres negros en los Estados Unidos, así como las leyes que permiten a los asesinos escapar impunes. El Movimiento de Independencia de Cataluña se creó para buscar la independencia de la región de Cataluña de España. Ambos movimientos ganaron reconocimiento internacional a lo largo de los años y están formados por miembros extremadamente apasionados por las causas, logrando las transformaciones que buscan y asegurando un futuro mejor para los afectados. Al comparar los resultados de la investigación para cada uno de estos dos movimientos extremadamente diferentes con participantes muy diferentes en términos de geografía, etnia, edad, etc., y diferentes objetivos, y luego de notar las similitudes en los resultados, es bastante claro que los patrones identificados de consistencia en las respuestas de los participantes e incluso las ramificaciones legales, en cierta medida muestran una correlación obvia entre lo que ha sido efectivo en el movimiento Black Lives Matter y en el Movimiento de Independencia de Cataluña. Como resultado de esto, esta tesis arroja luz muy necesaria sobre cómo utilizar Facebook de manera más efectiva como una herramienta para el activismo, particularmente a través de la comunicación, la organización y la movilización en los movimientos sociales. Esa idea puede ayudar a los movimientos actuales y futuros a lograr la transformación social y política que buscan y, en última instancia, ayudará a transformar el mundo.
Social Media Activism (SMA) has become a staple of almost every modern-day movement around the world. The appeal of this tool is obvious in its prevalence, and diversity of uses. Social media enables any voice, anywhere to be heard by anyone around the world including those that have the power to implement necessary changes globally. However, the world is still yet to discover how it can be used most effectively and avoid the pitfalls of becoming slacktivism instead of activism. Many users participate in movements because they are trendy as opposed to passion for the changes sought which leads to inconsistency and a decrease in impact. Other users underutilize the tools or incorrectly use them. There are various reasons why movements fail, and most of those reasons stem from the way movement participants use tools for activism. As a result of this, in order to ensure that current and future movements can operate at maximum effectiveness, the most important aspect of movements to be studied is the participants and consistency. This thesis sheds light on how to engage participants as best as possible by analysing the use of Facebook by participants in the Black Lives Matter movement as well as the Catalan Independence Movement, whether the movements have been successful thus far through an analysis of Legal changes, and also through an examination of the consistency of the movements over time. These two movements seem at face value to be incredibly different which is good for coming to an unbiased conclusion, however they have many similarities in that both have had various degrees of success over the years and seek both social and legal changes that will greatly transform their respective societies. The Black Lives Matter movement was created to combat the wrongful killings of Black Men and women in the United States as well as the laws that allow the killers to get away with murder and unfair treatment in general. The Catalan Independence Movement was created to seek independence of the region of Catalunya from Spain. Both movements gained international recognition over the years and consist of members who are extremely passionate about the causes, achieving the transformations they seek, and securing a better future for those affected. By comparing the results of the research for each of these two extremely different movements with extremely different participants in terms of geography, ethnicity, age, etc., and different goals, and then noting the similarities in the results, it is quite clear that the identified patterns in consistency, responses from participants and even the legal ramifications to some extent, show an obvious correlation between what has been effective in the Black Lives Matter movement and in the Catalan Independence Movement. As a result of this, this thesis sheds much needed light on how to utilize Facebook most effectively as a tool for activism particularly through communication, organization and mobilization in Social Movements. That insight will help current and upcoming movements to achieve the social and political transformation they seek and ultimately aid in transforming the world.

Full textLos movimientos sociales son grupos movilizados de actores sociales que buscan cambiar el status quo dadas las condiciones no favorables en relación con sus demandas, derechos, garantías,etc. Como efecto fundamental de dicho cambio, los movimientos sociales se constituyen como actores protagónicos del cambio institucional. Uno de estos efectos se da en el tema ambiental, en el uso, control, legislación y valoración de la naturaleza. Las políticas insurgentes que desarrollan dichos movimientos serán, en el actual contexto de la globalización y desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, el centro de análisis de este documento, enfocándose en el movimiento ecologista de Estados Unidos. Por tanto, creemos que las políticas insurgentes determinan el inicio del cambio institucional.
