Discourses of Ideology and Identity (eBook, PDF)

Social Media and the Iranian Election Protests

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this monograph, Chris Featherman adopts a discourse analytical approach to explore the ways in which social movement ideologies and identities are discursively constructed in new and old media, focused around a case study of the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests. Through qualitative analysis of a corpus of activists' Twitter tweets and Flickr uploads, Featherman argues that activists' social media discourses and protesters' symbolic and tactical borrowing of global English contribute to micronarratives of globalization, while also calling into question master narratives about Iran commonly found in mainstream Western media accounts.
