Hashtags, Tweets, Protest? Varianten des digitalen Aktivismus

Abstract

ZusammenfassungMit der Digitalisierung entstehen Ausdrucks- und Organisationsformen von Protest, die das Verständnis von politischer Mobilisierung herausfordern. Über Instant-Messaging, soziale Medien und alternative Plattformen bildet sich ein Eigenleben des digitalen Aktivismus heraus, das auch das Protestgeschehen auf der Straße beeinflusst.
