If you're in Amsterdam, on 24 June, @ProfAFinlayson will explain what “reactionary digital politics” is, how it is shaped by “ideological entrepreneurs,” and how this is reconfiguring our understanding of what it is to be political. Sign up here: spui25.nl/programma/diag…

New OILab publication by @salhagen1 👇

🪩 New publication! I study a clash at the onset of an alleged "extremist turn" online: the 2014 Tumblr-4chan raids. Happening just before Gamergate, I asked what this alternative event can teach us about the politicisation of mid-2010s online subcultures. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…



New OILab publication in collaboration with @venturini_tom 👇

✏Fresh work out in @icsjournal with @venturini_tom! Yes, it's about memes again. We theorise 4chan as a "secondary oral subculture" upheld by the repetition-with-variation of memes. We trace the changing use of memetic phrases or "formulas" with NLP. 👉tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🌐Nieuwe aflevering!🌐 Zelfs als je maar weinig online bent valt het op: het Internet heeft een eigenzinnige cultuur die langzaam het echte leven binnensijpelt. Mediawetenschapper Daniel de Zeeuw schoof aan bij @ftbakker om dit fenomeen te bespreken. 🔗 open.spotify.com/episode/11T7jx…

Originally from Black Twitter, appropriated by far-right online, @salhagen1's analysis of meaning change (2010-2021) across platforms shows varied meanings & subcultural functions, challenging assumptions about persistent problematic messages. buff.ly/3mTswr7
