“…This long-standing methodological issue makes itself felt with special urgency in recent projects aiming to implement controversy analysis as a digital method. Over the last decade or so, researchers working at the intersections of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and digital media studies have taken a keen interest in the affordances of digital networked technologies for the analysis of public controversies about technology, science, and society (Bruns & Burgess, 2011;Marres, 2015;Rogers & Marres, 2000;Rogers, Sánchez-Querubín, & Kil, 2015;Venturini, 2010). These authors agree that digital networked media technologies open up important opportunities for the development of this classic social research method, in the form of scaled-up, fine-grained, visual, real-time, and/or participatory forms of analysis.…”

This article assesses the usefulness for social media research of controversy analysis, an approach developed in Science and Technology Studies (STS) and related fields. We propose that this approach can help to address an important methodological problem in social media research, namely, the tension between social media as resource for social research and as an empirical object in its own right. Initially developed for analyzing interactions between science, technology, and society, controversy analysis has in recent decades been implemented digitally to study public debates and issues dynamics online. A key feature of controversy analysis as a digital method, we argue, is that it enables a symmetrical approach to the study of mediatechnological dynamics and issue dynamics. It allows us to pay equal attention to the ways in which a digital platform like Twitter mediates public issues, and to how controversies mediate "social media" as an object of public attention. To sketch the contours of such a symmetrical approach, the article discusses examples from a recent social media research project in which we mapped issues of "privacy" and "surveillance" in the wake of the National Security Agency (NSA) data leak by Edward Snowden in June 2013. Through a discussion of social media research practice, we then outline a symmetrical approach to analyzing controversy with social media. We conclude that the digital implementation of such an approach requires further exchanges between social media researchers and controversy analysts.

“…Drawing on Rogers et al (2015) methodology for issue mapping, in order to map the controversy as it is visible online, we included in the dataset the first 170 results as presented by Google.co.uk. These include web pages (69%) and links to documents (31%).…”

“…One of the most employed methods to study the associations within actors in a controversy, in the case of actors derived from URLs, is to use a web crawler to identify all the connections (i.e. hyperlinks) that one actor might have with the others and to visualise them in the shape of a network (Rogers et al 2015).…”

City Territ Archit

Smart, technologically managed city-regions are one of the main characteristics of the contemporary world. Since the attack to the Charlie Hebdo offices, city-regions and social media digital technologies have increasingly been changing the definition of 'territory of security' and 'security governance' . What are the characteristics of the security architecture created by the interaction of smart city-regions and digital technologies? Drawing from Actor-Network theory and Science and Technology Studies, we provide an empirical account of the shape of this new territory, by presenting a study of the controversy concerning security and social media in UK, the role of cities in this changed security space, and how social sciences can help better understand and respond to the opportunities and threats of smart cities. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.

“…As especificidades do Facebook e das torcidas organizadas de futebol são também abordadas. Baseado na proposta dos "métodos digitais" de pesquisa (Rogers, 2015), extraímos através do software Netvizz rastros digitais (curtidas, comentários e compartilhamentos) deixados por usuários em cinco páginas de torcidas organizadas no Facebook: Galo Marx, Galo Metal, Galoucura, 105 Minutos e Galo Queer. Na análise, as visualizações de grafos e outros dados relativos às postagens sobre a controvérsia nos ofereceram indícios sobre as associações entre os atores/torcedores.…”

“…Conceber pesquisas que considerem as especificidades dos ambientes digitais é um dos desafios de pesquisas como a aqui proposta. Rogers (2015) situa o esforço de desenvolvimento de "métodos digitais" de pesquisa junto ao esforço atual das ciências sociais e humanidades para incorporar a chamada "virada computacional" ("computational turn"). Uma das especificidades dos métodos digitais é pensá-los incorporados aos ambientes nos quais os dados estudados foram coletados, isto é, pesquisar ao mesmo tempo o ambiente tecnológico e o social que ali se forma, reconhecendo as afetações mútuas entre "meio" e "conteúdo" (Marres, 2015).…”

RESUMO: O ponto de partida deste trabalho é a controvérsia em torno da exploração do corpo feminino e do machismo no futebol desencadeada pelo desfile de lançamento do novo uniforme do Clube Atlético Mineiro, em fevereiro de 2016. Nosso objetivo no artigo é mapear e discutir as translações entre torcedores e demais atores nas páginas do Facebook de cinco torcidas organizadas do time. Mais especificamente, nos interessa observar, através da extração e visualização de rastros digitais extraídos do Facebook, como a controvérsia "Galo Machista"!? desencadeou a formação de agrupamentos, oposições, alianças etc. entre usuários/torcedores envolvidos nas discussões on-line. Partindo da abordagem da Teoria Ator-Rede, nos apropriamos de conceitos como translação e controvérsia, que são discutidos a partir da ambiência sociotécnica do Facebook e das especificidades das torcidas organizadas. Após uma análise quantitativa das postagens, detalhamos as discussões desencadeadas por uma "nota de repúdio" ao desfile (torcida Galo Marx) e por uma peça de apoio à patrocinadora (Galo Metal). PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Futebol; Controvérsia; Machismo; Facebook; Métodos digitais. ABSTRACT:The starting point of this work is the controversy about the exploitation of the female body and sexism in football triggered by the launch of the brazilian team Clube Atlético Mineiro new uniform in February 2016. Our objective in this article is to discuss the translations between the actors on the Facebook pages of five Atletico's fans associations. Specifically, we are interested in observing, through the extraction and visualization of digital traces taken from Facebook, how the controversy triggered the formation of colletives, oppositions, alliances etc. between fans and others actors involved in online discussions. Based in the Actor-Network Theory approach, we discuss concepts such as translation and controversy, as well as the sociotechnical ambience of Facebook and the specifics of the fan's associations in Brazil. After a quantitative analysis, we detail the discussions triggered by two posts: a "repudiation note" published by the "Galo Marx" association and by a institutional piece supporting the sponsor and the team published by "Galo Metal".
