Abstract:

Research on digital activism has gained traction in recent years. At the same time, it remains a diverse and open field that lacks a coherent mode of inquiry. For the better or worse, digital activism remains a fuzzy term. In this introduction to a special issue on digital activism, we review current attempts to periodize and historicize digital activism. Although there is growing body of research on digitial activism, many contributions remain limited through their ahistorical approach and the digital universalism that they imply. Based on the contributions to the special issue, we argue for

Abstract:

This article explores the following research question: How is political activism expressed in connective, affective, and embodied ways, and how do these modes result in a rearticulation of the body and central activist signifiers? While connective and affective dimensions of digital activism offer invaluable insights into the new forms of activist organisation, it remains underexplored how the activist body and the concepts of “human” and “rights” are discursively produced through digital expressions of activism. Therefore, drawing on a purposive selection of digital content, we produce a disc

Abstract Over the past two decades, Islamic movements and activism in the USA have progressed. The weak part of the explanation models for Islamic activism is an inclusive description of obstacles in the discursive field. These obstacles are essentially sources of symbolic violence in discourse. There is also a debate regarding the discursive representation of Muslims. Native and immigrant Muslims in the USA have struggled against the dominance of external discourses.

In this introduction we develop an understanding of mediatization and the transformations of cultural activism.

Thus, we investigate how digital networks redesign the modalities of activist participation and ask how we can understand the relation between media, culture, social movements, and activist participatory

In the case of Deaf American actor Marlee Matlin, media reform activism serves as a unifying feature, expressed via technologically-facilitated connections between her acting, activist, and online

Drawing on existing literature and empirical data, the study analyzes the role of social media in mobilizing support, documenting human rights abuses, and pressuring the government to address systemic issues within law enforcement. The findings highlight the posi

RESUMEN: Este trabajo analiza el activismo digital (AD) que se ha venido desarrollando en Cuba en los últimos años y busca descubrir cuáles son sus impactos, así como los obstáculos y desafíos que enfrenta. Haciendo un recorrido por diferentes tipos de activismo, el análisis muestra que el AD ha propiciado un aumento de la expresión y actividad de los ciudadanos en el espacio público y facilitado la acción contenciosa y la protesta, abriendo nuevos canales de participación e incidencia a los ciudadanos, aunque también aumentado la vigilancia y el control estatal. Desde esta perspectiva, el AD

Abstract:

A new feminist generation has emerged in Russia in the 2010s as a response to the increasingly conservative governmental politics and new legislation limiting the rights of both women and non-heterosexuals. The new generation of feminists continues to work around very similar questions than the previous generation, the women’s movement in the 1990s. Many activist goals, such as battling gendered violence and conservative gender and sexual norms, remain the same while the social conditions for activism have profoundly changed. If the women’s movement in the 1990s emerged in a politi

Abstract:

At least in the last decade, most people in Badiklat Kemhan have been very enthusiastic about adopting various digital platforms such as social media and instant messaging applications. Penetration of these technologies is also often wrapped in a techno-utopian narrative, especially related to the expectations of digital economic growth in Badiklat Kemhan. However, the use of digital platforms also needs to be seen in terms of how it has potentials in strengthening democracy, one of which is related to digital activism, or the role of digital technology in various social movements in Badiklat

In March 2015, five young feminists were detained and accused of “disturbing public order” through their plan to circulate messages against sexual harassment in public transportation. This article focuses on the feminist media practices before and after the detention of the Feminist Five to shed light on the dynamics between state surveillance and incrimination, media activism, and feminist politics in China. Exploring the practices of the Youth Feminist Action School, it argues that the role of media in this new wave of feminist activism can be better understood as a form of “digital masquera

Abstract:

Instagram infographics are a digital activism tool that have redefined action frames for technology-facilitated social movements. From the 1960s through the 1980s, United States ethnic movements practiced collective action: ideologically unified, resource-intensive activism. Researchers have argued that modern technologically mediated movements, in contrast, practice connective action: individualized, low-resource online activism. We argue that Instagram infographics are both connective and collective. We conducted a qualitative interview study juxtaposing the insights of past and present U.S.

The article is devoted to the concept of digital activism, it reviews terms, forms and current theoretical approaches. The question of the place of digital activism in socio-political science remains open. Some researchers argue that digital activism has no lasting effect, so there is no need to create new theoretical approaches. Others advocate that digital activism has its distinct features therefore the development of a special theoretical approach is needed. Furthermore, there is an intermediate opinion that suggests updating existing models of social movement analysis to study digital act

Abstract:

The analysis of digital activism has so far been dominated by a techno-determinist approach which interprets the logic of activism and its transformation as directly reflecting the properties of the technologies utilised by activists. This line of interpretatoin has been manifested in the popularity acquired by notions as “Twitter protest” or “revolution 2.0” in the news media and in academic discourse. Moving beyond this reductionist trend, this article proposes an ideological approach to the study of digital activism and its hisstorical transformation, which can better account for the combin

Online activism could be a potential alternative. The objective of this scoping review is to examine the extent and nature of the coverage of disabled people in the academic literature that focuses on online activism.
