“…Since 2005, Facebook has remained the most popular social media site in the United States, currently boasting over double the share of US adults (68%) compared to its closest competitors, Instagram (28%; which is owned by Facebook), Pinterest (26%), LinkedIn (25%), and Twitter (21%; Pew Research Center, 2017). Although the majority of social media research has focused on Facebook as an exemplar for social media use (Stoycheff, Liu, Wibowo, & Nanni, 2017), studies have begun comparing behaviors across sites, particularly between Facebook and Twitter (e.g., Binns, 2014;Davenport, Bergman, Bergman, & Fearrington, 2014;Errasti, Amigo, & Villadangos, 2017;Hughes, Rowe, Batey, & Lee, 2012;Panek, Nardis, & Konrath, 2013;Whitty, Doodson, Creese, & Hodges, 2017). However, few cross-site comparisons have included Instagram (e.g., Kim, Seely, & Jung, 2017;Phua, Jin, & Kim, 2017;Pittman & Reich, 2016;Waterloo, Baumgartner, Peter, & Valkenburg, 2017), despite its rising popularity (Instagram & TechCrunch, n.d.).…”

Highlights • Affordances, privacy concerns, gender, and age predict preferred social media site • Privacy concerns, trust, disclosure and site preference predict social capital • Facebook preference and being male predict bonding social capital • Facebook preference is associated with more privacy concerns and less self-disclosure • Instagram was the most trusted site, followed by Twitter, and then Facebook

“…According to Sassen (2017: 173) Images play a major role in shaping how we see and feel about a given subject (Whitty et al, 2018). One should also note that pictures make a faster impact than text and may well be subject to a wider range of interpretations.…”

Feminist Political Discourses in the Digital Era: A new materialist discursive analysis of the #BringBackOurGirls cyber-campaign

Increasing use of cyber-campaigns is being made by social movements and political groups. Nevertheless, this popularity is often accompanied by undesirable consequences for social movements such as the violence denounced by contemporary feminism. Thus, some digital mobilisations create a rift between the physical and digital worlds — something that often gives rise to homogenisation of socio-cultural categories such as gender, race, and age. In this paper, we analyse the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which sprang to life five years ago. Its path reveals the success of these cyber-campaigns in the field of contemporary feminism. Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) is used to take a feminist genealogical approach to new materialisms. In doing so, it examines the temporal and spatial trajectory of the campaign to reshape affirmative feminist politics. These politics involve reconfiguring pre-established notions such as ‘girl’, ‘agency’, and ‘otherness’ to provide social movements with the capacity to respond. We therefore undertake an ethnographic examination of the hashtag (Bonilla & Rosa, 2015) to compare the beginning of the campaign with the situation now. We draw on these results to localise the shift from the local scale to the global one, in which structural powers, individual agency, and ‘glocal’ [local-global] and feminist affirmation policies become diluted.

“…In recent years, the volume and pace of research on topics like e-government, e-public administration, innovative cities, or citizen involvement has increased considerably [4], [9], [10], [22], [26], [25]. A diversity of referent domains and ideas can be noticed, with more and more investigators emphasizing the need to strengthen research and practical implications considering multiple theories, methods and fields -from law, sociology, politics, economics, management, marketing, philosophy, communication, information science, computer science, ethics [5], [10], [16], [17], [18].…”

Innovating a city through citizen participation: could interdisciplinary orientation play a role?

This exploratory study is based on a grounded theory research performed with the intention to find new potential explanations for citizen participation to processes related to city innovation through public administration and e-governance initiatives. Considering (1) the huge importance and amount of previous work on innovation, (2) the societal challenges with which we are confronted, most of them requiring multiple, system thinking type of knowledge and an interdisciplinary perspective, as well as (3) the need to transform our cities in better living and working places, one research question was raised: what does it take to make people more involved in the process of innovating a city, other than traditional factors previously investigated? It is a subject at the intersection of several fields and streams of research: public administration, innovative cities in terms of governance and e-government, civic participation and citizen science, researchers’ skills and competencies, inter and transdisciplinary research - a complex array of intertwined challenges. The research objective was to find out if interdisciplinary orientation could be considered among the influence factors that explain citizen participation. The grounded theory method was applied, based on the inductive approach, to generate future hypotheses. The research is exploratory and qualitative; we conducted a semi-structured group interview with 18 researchers, to identify the most important traits of human innovation, followed by a survey with 30 researchers to measure their perceptions towards interdisciplinary research. Researchers were used as an extreme case selection unit for the initial formulation of our research hypothesis, having in mind their double quality – highly educated people and citizens. Our pilot study findings indicate that interdisciplinary orientation could be a significant explanatory factor for citizen participation, but further quantitative testing is necessary.
