“…Drawing upon Bateson’s (1972) and Goffman’s (1974) early work, scholars across the social sciences have used the concept of frame to explain interpretative frameworks developed by individual and collective actors “for making sense of relevant events” ( Gamson & Modigliani, 1989 , p. 3). More specifically, frames are “schemata of interpretation” ( Goffman 1974 , p. 21) applied to any element of social reality; they “help internalize past experience and guide future action/reaction to upcoming events” ( Vicari, 2010 , p. 506). 3…”

In May 2013 and March 2015, actress Angelina Jolie wrote in the New York Times about her choice to undergo preventive surgery. In her two op-eds, she explained that − as a carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation − preventive surgery was the best way to lower her heightened risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. By applying a digital methods approach to BRCA-related tweets from 2013 and 2015, before, during, and after the exposure of Jolie’s story, this study maps and interprets Twitter discursive dynamics at two time points of the BRCA Twitter stream. Findings show an evolution in curation and framing dynamics occurring between 2013 and 2015, with individual patient advocates replacing advocacy organizations as top curators of BRCA content and coming to prominence as providers of specialist illness narratives. These results suggest that between 2013 and 2015, Twitter went from functioning primarily as an organization-centered news reporting mechanism, to working as a crowdsourced specialist awareness system. This article advances a twofold contribution. First, it points at Twitter’s fluid functionality for an issue public and suggests that by looking at the life story—rather than at a single time point—of an issue-based Twitter stream, we can track the evolution of power roles underlying discursive practices and better interpret the emergence of non-elite actors in the public arena. Second, the study provides evidence of the rise of activist cultures that rely on fluid, non-elite, collective, and individual social media engagement.

“…Food-related framing usually falls into the corporative-political category [ 33 ] or into the social activism category [ 34 ]. Nonetheless, this study employed van Gorp and van der Goot [ 35 ] framing categories, which are used by stakeholders of sustainable food products and are based on archetypes ( Table 1 ).…”

Background Local and organic foods have shown increased importance and market size in recent years. However, attitudes, sentiment, and habits related to such foods in the context of video social networks have not been thoroughly researched. Given that such media have become some of the most important venues of internet traffic, it is relevant to investigate how sustainable food is communicated through such video social networks. Objective This study aimed to explore the diffusion paths of local and organic foods on YouTube, providing a review of trends, coincidences, and differences among video discourses. Methods A combined methodology involving webometric, framing, semantic, and sentiment analyses was employed. Results We reported the results for the following two groups: organic and local organic videos. Although the content of 923 videos mostly included the “Good Mother” (organic and local organic: 282/808, 34.9% and 311/866, 35.9%, respectively), “Natural Goodness” (220/808, 27.2% and 253/866, 29.2%), and “Undermining of Foundations” (153/808, 18.9% and 180/866, 20.7%) frames, organic videos were more framed in terms of “Frankenstein” food (organic and local organic: 68/808, 8.4% and 27/866, 3.1%, respectively), with genetically modified organisms being a frequent topic among the comments. Organic videos (N=448) were better connected in terms of network metrics than local organic videos (N=475), which were slightly more framed regarding “Responsibility” (organic and local organic: 42/808, 5.1% and 57/866, 6.5%, respectively) and expressed more positive sentiment (M ranks for organic and local organic were 521.2 and 564.54, respectively, Z=2.15, P=.03). Conclusions The results suggest that viewers considered sustainable food as part of a complex system and in a positive light and that food framed as artificial and dangerous sometimes functions as a counterpoint to promote organic food.

“…CAF is associated with conceptual framing. Vicari (2010) referred to the concept of Goffman works in 1974 as a cognitive scheme or the interpretation scheme of an individual concept to the world she/he entered and organized, so that her/his experience has a significance and meaningful. Collective frame is conviction and comprehension oriented to action that inspire and legitimize a social movement activity, and retain certain course of process (Benford & Snow 2000).…”

“…The present research applied the concept of Gamson Frame emphasizing frame components such as collective identity, how injustice discourse is, and which party is the rival in accomplishing collective objective (Vicari 2010). Gamson (1992) considered the importance of comprehension on collective identity, solidarity and consciousness that worked in movement, and the need of facilitating micromobilization component (Hunt & Benford 2004).…”

While there are issues in deforestation with interesting reports on reforestation in Indonesia's forest policy, the situation in Papua remains understudied. This paper builds on the themes of collective action and reforestation from indigenous people of Papua. Collective action can be understood from various perspectives and one of them can be studied within Gamson's socio-psychology framework from social movement theories. The results showed that: collective action in indigenous people of Biak-Papua was connected to their collective identity, solidarity, consciousness, and was facilitated by micromobilization. There were 4 typologies of collective action for reforestation in Biak: (1) collective action with initiative of collectivity in the group supported by external forces, (2) collective action driven by village leaders that have the authority from the government, (3) collective action driven by informal leaders (genealogical/kinship based traditional leaders), and (4) collective action driven by an outsider that has obtained legitimacy of customary, because of marriages. Taking into account its potentials and dynamics, mutually beneficial collective action is believed to be able to support the success of reforestation and forest management in Papua.
