“…Climate sceptics are less inclined to describe their use of social media as a source to this kind of climate engagement -as illustrated by the women in our informant group, regardless of issue position. Some of the women also highlighted the emotional toll of entering debates, which resonates with previous qualitative research on female Facebook users in Norway (Sakariassen, 2021). A single female informant stood apart with a different kind of reactive use of social media for informational negotiations: Laura, a 32-year-old part-time consultant and climate activist.…”

This article analyses how people use social media to make sense of climate change, exploring climate issues as part of everyday communication in media-saturated societies. Building on prominent themes in the environmental communication literature on social media, such as mobilisation and polarisation, we respond to calls for more qualitative and interpretative analysis. Our study therefore asks how people use social media in everyday life to make sense of climate issues, and it expands on previous findings in the field through a qualitative typology of everyday social media use. The empirical data stems from in-depth interviews with Norwegians who are engaged in climate issues, with informants ranging from activists to declared sceptics, although we find widespread ambivalence across group positions. Our findings contribute to disentangling contradictory findings in the field through a discussion of how climate change is part of everyday communication.

“…For å se hvordan boyds, Putnams og Freires perspektiver kommer i spill i studiet av vilkår for deltakelse på SNS, har vi valgt å presentere erfaringer fra et utvalg av unge kvinner med innvandrerbakgrunn. Tidligere studier av SNS har vist at kvinner i større grad enn menn er blir berørt av andres meninger og foretrekker en pro-sosial tone (Lin & Lu, 2011), som kan bidra til at de bruker mer krefter på følelsesarbeid og at mangel på sosial harmoni kan gi utrygghet (Sakariassen, 2021). Vi vet også at kvinner generelt opplever større utfordringer med sine aktiviteter på SNS enn menn (Amnesty International, 2018;Birkjaer & Kaats, 2019), for eksempel hets knyttet spesifikt til å vaere kvinne (Mantilla, 2015) og utfordringer i forbindelse med negativ sosial kontroll og forståelse av aere (Pearce & Vitak, 2016).…”

Kollektiv Mobilisering

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The primary objective of this book is to present, analyze and discuss forms of collective mobilization from theoretical, methodological and practical perspectives, set against recent societal developments. Our aim is to investigate how collective mobilization occurs and how it can be facilitated, particularly at local and regional levels, while treating 'the local' as connected to a wider context. We understand 'collective mobilization' as joint effort, often in the form of grassroots initiatives, directed at changing basic living conditions and experienced as significant for the participants involved. A central premise for this understanding is that the mobilization is initiated by something or someone - a person, an incident, a group - leading to action. 'Collective mobilization' is, as such, the way deliberate collaboration, alliances and communication work within a community. In this first chapter we elaborate on this understanding of the term and phenomenon of 'collective mobilization' and present some specific and concise examples. We argue for the relevance of collective mobilization for different professions and actors before describing the structure of the book and the primary objectives of the respective chapters.
