Preface.xvi
Chapter 1
Self and the Relationship with the Screen: Interrogating the Fictive and Banal in Self
Production.1
Yasmin Ibrahim, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
The self is performed through the banal of the everyday on social media. The banality of the everyday
constitutes an integral part of our communication on digital platforms. Taking this as part of our
performative lives in the digital economy, the paper looks at ways in which we co-produce the self through
the banality of the everyday as well as a wider imagination and engagement with the world. These wider
engagements are termed as ‘fictive’ not because they are unreal but through a conceptual notion of how
the self is performed and imagined through wider world events in digital platforms and screen cultures
where convergence of technologies allow us to be constantly consumed through the screen as we live out
our daily lives. The narration of our lives through the banal and the fictive constantly co-produces the self
through a situated domesticity of the everyday and equally through the eventful. In the process it reveals
our ongoing relationship with the screen as an orifice for the production of self and the construction of
a social reality beyond our immediate domesticity.
Chapter 2
Using the Blogosphere to Promote Disputed Diets: The Swedish Low-Carb High-Fat
Movement.10
Christopher Holmberg, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Widely influential low-carb high fat diet (LCHF) promoters have been using social media to marshal
support when contesting the nutritional recommendations provided by the National Swedish Food
Agency (NFA). Political events led to an increased public awareness of the LCHF diet, which in turn
provided the advocates with vital opportunities to contest the established nutritional authorities. This
study explored how three of the leading promoters transact their criticisms of nutrition authorities, and
how they use social media for this purpose. A longitudinal thematic analysis of the diet promoters’
social media presence demonstrates that they made full use of media convergence to form opinion and
attain their goals. The LCHF promoters utilized a rhetorical arsenal based in science popularization to
appeal to the public and social media allowed for the spread of anecdotal evidence of individual dieters.
Interestingly, social media also facilitated the advocates to network their expertise and to start science
initiatives evolving from merely anecdotal methods to conventional approaches.
Chapter 3
Transmedia Storytelling Impact on Government Policy Change.31
Reñirá Rampazzo Gambarato, National Research University Higher School of Economics,
Russia
Sergei Andreevich Medvedev, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland
Thischapter discusses theimpactoftransmediacampaigns aimed at achieving acertainlevel of government
policy change. Transmedia campaigns comprise a series of coordinated activities and organized efforts
designed to achieve a social, political, or commercial goal by means of multiple media platforms. The Great
British Property Scandal and Food, Inc. transmedia campaigns are considered to introduce the argument
that this kind of multiplatform campaigning can actually produce concrete results in the political sphere.
Moreover, this chapter focuses on the in-depth analysis of the transmedia strategies of the Fish Fight
campaign to demonstrate how exactly transmedia strategies collaborate to influence policy change. The
research findings point to the effective role of transmedia storytelling strategies in raising awareness in
the political sphere through public participation in supporting relevant issues, influencing policy change.
Chapter 4
The Demobilizing Potential of Conflict for Web and Mobile Political Participation.52
Francis Dalisay, University of Guam, Guam
Matthew J. Kushin, Shepherd University, USA
Masahiro Yamamoto, University at Albany, State University of New York, USA
In this chapter, we expand the idea that conflict avoidance (CA) inhibits online political participation.
We specifically propose that CA has a direct negative link with traditional online political participation
and online political expression, and an indirect negative link with these two forms of participation when
mediated by political interest and internal political efficacy. We test our propositions through analyzing
data from a survey of young adult college students residing in a battleground state in the U.S. Midwest
conducted during the weeks prior to the 2012 U.S. presidential election. Our results showed that CA
has a direct negative association with both traditional online political participation and online political
expression. CA also has a negative relationship with political interest and internal political efficacy,
which in turn, are positively linked with traditional online political participation and online political
expression. We discussed implications.
Chapter 5
Political Messaging in Digital Spaces: The Case of Twitter in Mexico’s Presidential Campaign.72
Rodrigo Sandoval-Almazan, Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, Mexico
Political messaging is adapting to new digital spaces. However, the power of citizens through the use
of this digital spaces is still unknown. Many citizens criticize political candidates using Facebook or
Twitter, others build networks in Snapchat and some others try to collaborate with candidates using
Periscope or WhatsApp. This research is focused in understanding this adaptation of political message
on this platforms, analyzing the case of the presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto (PRI) in Mexico
who won the presidency with a large participation but without the support of Twitter users. After two
online protests against this presidential candidate - #IamnotProletariat and #Iaml32 - political image
could have been undermined and voters could have thought differently, But this was not the case and
despite of this, the candidate won. The challenge to understand this online protest and its link to the
political message is addressed in this paper.
Chapter 6
ICTs: Ancillary Tools for Indirect Democracy?.91
Kerill Dunne, Independent Researcher, Ireland
Within Western democracies there has been a growing demand to use ICT to enable citizens to get more
involved with local political issues. Western local governments have claimed that ICT can empower
citizens and strengthen local democracy. This chapter will focus on one aspect of this and examine the
provision of online direct democracy and whether citizens do indeed have the opportunity to vote more
in local policy decision making. Using Michel Foucault’s concepts of power and domination this research
will explore if local governments and their citizens, through strategies of power, use one type of ICT,
online forums, to change local representative democracy. In order to examine whether online forums
can increase direct democracy for citizens, a quantitative data collection method was implemented in
this study which produced a data set of 138 online forums. This article argues that online forums do
not increase direct democracy, because citizens along with local governments use ICT to maintain the
political status quo online?
Chapter 7
Towards a Political Theory of eLearning.107
Celia Romm-Livermore, Wayne State University, USA
Pierluigi Rippa, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy
Mahesh Raisinghani, Texas Woman’s University, USA
This study focuses on the political strategies that are utilized in the context of eLearning. The starting
point for this paper is the eLearning Political Strategies (ELPoS) model. The model is based on two
dimensions: 1) the direction of the political strategy (upward or downward), and 2) the scope of the
political strategy (individual or group based). The interaction between the above dimensions defines four
types of eLearning political strategies, which result in different political outcomes. The presentation of
the model is followed by four mini case studies that demonstrate the political strategies that the model
outlines. The discussion and conclusion sections integrate the findings from the case studies and elaborate
on the rules that govern the application of political strategies in different eLearning contexts.
Chapter 8
Challenging the De-Politicization of Food Poverty: Austerity Food Blogs.123
Anita Howarth, Brunei University, UK
Austerity food blogs have come to the fore with the emergence of a neoliberal ideology of austerity,
which in Britain has seen cuts to welfare benefits legitimized through individual failure explanations
of poverty and the stigmatizing of benefit claimants. The consequence has been to distance ministers
from food poverty and de-politicize it. Austerity food blogs, written by those forced to live hand-to-
mouth, are a hybrid form of digital culture that merge narratives of lived experience, food practices and
political commentary in ways that challenge the dominant views on poverty so re-politicize it. A Girl
Called Jack did this by breaking the silence that the stigma of poverty imposes, by personalizing hunger
through Jack Monroe’s narratives of her lived experience of it and inviting the pity of the reader. Monroe
also challenged austerity through practices derived during the struggle to survive and eat healthily on
£10-a-week food budget. Her blog resonated powerfully but also revealed a British society deeply uneasy
and polarized over modern poverty.
Chapter 9
Ubiquitous Food Imaging: Food Images as Digital Spectacle.141
Yasmin Ibrahim, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
In our digital world, our notions of intimacy, communion and sharing are increasingly enacted through
new media technologies and social practices which emerge around them. These technologies with the
ability to upload, download and disseminate content to select audiences or to a wider public provide
opportunities for the creation of new forms of rituals which authenticate and diarise everyday experiences.
Our consumption cultures in many ways celebrate the notion of the exhibit and the spectacle, inviting
gaze, through everyday objects and rituals. Food as a vital part of culture, identity, belonging, and
meaning making celebrates both the everyday and the invitation to renew connections through food as
a universal subject of appeal.
Chapter 10
Developing and Validating the “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things Scale”: Optimising
Political Online Communities for Internet Trolling.153
Jonathan Bishop, Centre for Research into Online Communities and E-Learning Systems,
UK
Internet trolling describe the posting of any content on the Internet which is provocative or offensive,
which is different from the original meaning online in the 1990s, referring to the posting of messages
for humourous effect. Those systems operators (sysops) who run online communities are being targeted
because of abuse posted on their platforms. Political discussion groups are some of the most prone to
trolling, whether consensual orunwanted. Many such websites ara openfor anyone to join, meaning when
some members post messages they know are offensive but legal, others might find grossly offensive,
meaning these messages could be illegal. This paper develops a questionnaire called the This Is Why We
Can’t Have Nice Things Scale (TIWWCHNT-20), which aims to help sysops better plan the development
of online communities to take account of different users’ capacity to be offended, and for users to self-
assess whether they will be suited to an online community. The scale is discussed in relation to different
Internet posting techniques where different users will act differently.
Chapter 11
Do Campaigns “Go Negative” on Twitter?.178
Marija Bekafigo, Northern Arizona University, USA
Allison Clark Pingley, University of South Carolina Upstate, USA
The use of negative ads in traditional election campaigns has been well-documented, but we know
little about the use of Twitter to “go negative.” We content analyze candidate tweets from four different
gubernatorial elections in 2011 to understand how candidates are using Twitter. We coded 849 tweets
to explain the determinants of “going negative” on Twitter. Our results show that while tweets are
overwhelmingly positive, candidates go negative by tweeting about policy. We believe this supports
the innovation hypothesis and argue that Twitter is a conducive social media forum for policy-based
messages due to its highly partisan nature. However, other determinants of negative campaigning such
as competitiveness of the race and campaign funding were consistent with the normalization hypothesis.
Our mixed results are consistent with other studies on social media and suggest there is still much to be
learned from this tool.
Chapter 12
When Citizens in Authoritarian States Use Facebook for Social Ties but Not Political
Participation.192
Wairagala Wakabi, Örebro University, Sweden
Numerous researchers have found a correlation between citizens’ use of social networking sites (SNS)
like Facebook and their likelihood for eParticipation. However, SNS use does not have the same effect
on all citizens’ political engagement. In authoritarian countries, Facebook offers a platform for citizens
to challenge the power of the state, provide alternative narratives and mobilise for political change. This
chapter examines how using Facebook affects the participative behaviours of Ugandans and concludes that
in low internet use, authoritarian contexts, the Civic Voluntarism Model’s postulation of the factors that
explain political participation, and the benefits Facebook brings to participation in Western democracies,
are upended. Overwhelming detachment from politics, low belief in citizens’ online actions influencing
change and fear of reprisals for criticising an authoritarian president in power for 30 years, severely
dulled the appetite for eParticipation. Hence, Facebook was growing citizens’ civic skills but hardly
increasing online participation.
Chapter 13
Online Free Expression and Its Gatekeepers.215
Joanna Kulesza, University of Lodz, Poland
This chapter covers the pressing issues of online free expression at the time of global telecommunication
services and social media. What once was the domain of the state has become the prerogative of private
global companies - it is their terms of service and sense of social responsibility that have replaced local
perceptions of morality and set limits to individual personal rights. Whether protecting privacy or defending
against defamation, it is the Internet Service Provider who can offer tools far more effective and prompt
than any national court and law enforcement agency. And even though the right to free expression is
firmly rotted in the global standard of article 19 UDHR, nowhere than online are the differences in its
interpretation, originated by history, morality and religion, more palpable. The paper aims to discuss
each of the three composite rights of free expression (the right to hold, impart and receive information
and ideas) and identify the actual limitations originated by national laws. The author emphasizes states’
positive obligation to take active measures aimed at protecting free expression, ensuring that all human
rights are “protected, respected and remedied”. This obligation makes the interrelationship between
national lawmakers and international telecommunication service providers complex as the latter serve
as the actual gate keepers of free expression in the information society. The paper covers a discussion on
how different countries deal with this challenge through various approaches to ISP liability, including
the notice-and-take down procedure as well as content filtering (preventive censorship). The author goes
on to criticize those mechanisms as enabling ISPs too much freedom in deciding upon the shape and
scope of individuals’ right to impart and receive information.
Chapter 14
Exploring the Counting of Ballot Papers Using “Delegated Transferable Vote”: Implications for
Local and National Elections in the United Kingdom.227
Jonathan Bishop, Centre for Research into Online Communities and E-Learning Systems,
UK
Mark Beech, Centre for Research into Online Communities and E-Learning Systems, UK
Delegated transferable voting (DTV) refers to an approach to counting votes in elections that extends
non-preferential voting systems like First Past The Post (FPTP) to include a transferable element similar
to Single Transferable Voting (STV) but instead of voters indicating who they wish their votes to go
to on an individual level they entrust that decision in the candidate they vote for, who could be from a
small political party that might otherwise be deemed a “wasted vote” under first-past-the-post systems
where the candidate they least want could win by having the most votes but still have less than 50% of
the popular vote. This chapter discusses how DTV might work in practice through an auto-ethnographic
approach in which the authors play an active part in elections in order to test the approach. The elections
contested in the UK included to local council level in the Pontypridd area and national elections to the
UK Parliament and Welsh Assembly. The potential impact of DTV on these election and method of
campaigning used at some of these elections might have had on the voting outcome are discussed.
Chapter 15
Women Can’t Win: Gender Irony and the E-Politics of The Biggest Loser.244
Michael S. Bruner, Humboldt State University, USA
Karissa Valine, Humboldt State University, USA
Berenice Ceja, Humboldt State University, USA
This chapter employs irony as a tool to make clearer the workings of one form of the e-politics of food,
namely, the structural food oppression linked to the weight and shape of the female body. The authors
argue that the e-politics of the weight and shape of the female body is one of the most important
incarnations of the e-politics of food and one of the most vigorously contested. This chapter examines
many forms of public discourse and e-politics, from Bing to Tumblr, from Hufhngton Post to the Mirror
(UK), from TV news in Lacrosse, Wisconsin to The Times of India, from the documentary film Killing
Us Softly to the book You Are What You Eat, and from WebMD to Twitter, in the end, with a central
focus on Rachel Frederickson on the TV show, The Biggest Loser. The critical rhetorical analysis finds
some support for the Women Can’t Win thesis. Women are in a Catch-22 situation, trapped between
fat-shaming and skinny-shaming.
Chapter 16
Critical Issues on Gender Equality and ICTs in Latin America.263
Aimée Vega Montiel, UNAM CEIICH, Mexico
In the context of the new media environment, several social, political and economic divides are being
produced. As the effects of those changes are not neutral, because of gender inequality, the status of
women’s human rights in the digital age are precarious. To what extent does the new media environment
promote women’s human and communication rights or contribute to sustaining the oppression of women
in society? Based on the feminist political economy perspective, the aim of this paper is to analyze some
of the critical issues on gender equality and ICTs in Latin America.
Chapter 17
Food Photography, Pixelated Produce, and Cameraless Images: A Photographic Journey from
Farmville to Kheti Badi.276
Aileen Blaney, Srishti Institute of Art, Design, and Technology, India
In today’s screen saturated culture, perceptions of food are overwhelmingly formed by images circulated
via the internet and mobile. The Facebook game FarmVille is the subject of Kheti Badi (Shah, 2015), a
photographic artwork reflexively engaging with the contemporary scenario of ‘post-photography’. The
work comprises not of photographs taken with a traditional camera but of screenshots of a farm and
its holdings as displayed in Farmville; the highly compressed jpegs cropped and resized to the point
of destabilizing visual coherence are depictions not of pastoral landscapes but of computer vision and
the programmable character of photography. While photography remains an instrument for recording
material realities, its power extends toward feeding back into the very processes through which science
and technology modify food production. This chapter explores how Kheti Badi, through a series of hyper
artificial and un-photographic images, shows the constructed nature of both what we put our hands on
in the supermarket and see in advertising’s dreamscapes.
Chapter 18
eLearning Political Strategies: A Four Act Play.289
Celia Romm-Livermore, Wayne State University, USA
Mahesh Raisinghani, Texas Woman’s University, USA
Pierluigi Rippa, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy
The starting point for this paper is the eLearning Political Strategies (ELPoS) model. The model is based
on two dimensions: 1) the direction of the political strategy (upward or downward), and 2) the scope of the
political strategy (individual or group based). The interaction between the above dimensions defines four
different types of eLearning political strategies, which result in different political outcomes. The model
is accompanied with one case study that is divided into four parts (“acts”). Each of the acts provides an
example of one of the four strategies in the model. The discussion and conclusions sections integrate
the findings from the case study, outline the rules that govern the application of political strategies in the
context of eLearning, and list some of the theoretical and practical implications from a better understating
of the politics of eLearning.
