“…Hashtags become resources for the mothers’ affective practices of intimacy (Rambukkana 2015). Not only do hashtags enable the emergence of online political collectivities (Gerbaudo, 2014; Romancini, 2020); they shape the emotional relation between the individual and the communal, the ‘I’ and the ‘We’, ‘amplifying a form of connective rather than only collective action’ (Johnson and Parry, 2022: 6; Bennett and Segerberg, 2012). In this network, the hashtags repeat variations on a key phrase, ‘justice-seeking’, interspersed with names of victims (sons, usually) and their mothers.…”

This article analyses the mediated affective practices of the network of #justice-seeking mothers in Iran, who campaign for justice for their children’s deaths at the hands of the state. I situate their melancholic performance of maternal mourning as central to the mediation of a ‘wild’ public intimacy, which contests the state’s attempts to limit and foreclose the spaces of political appearance. This intimate public, I argue, draws on the affordances of visuality and hashtags on Instagram and Twitter to invoke expanded notions of ‘home’ and ‘motherhood’that affectively sustain its political activism. Recent feminist scholarship has emphasised the counter-hegemonic potentials of mourning practices that go beyond the patriarchal family as a reference point, especially in campaigns that seek justice for and recognition of the dead, whether these practices are offline or online. I argue, however, that attention to the ‘relational’ (cultural, social, physical) affordances of digital mourning in this case s reveals that grassroots maternalism may draw its emotional resources from a shifting combination of conventional (familial) and non-conventional forms of kinship. It is this fluid and provisional approach to emotional and political ties that enables the #justice-seeking mothers’ network to mobilise a variety of intimate registers in constructing an affective space of political appearance.

“…To a certain extent, these changes combine new communicative dynamics with political disorder, which have forced analyses to look at the possibility of rearrranging the current notions of democracy and citizen representation. This leads to different perspectives such as those from D. Pittèri (2007), with the idea of an "electronic democracy", or from P. Gerbaudo (2019) and the reshaping of party models in digital contexts (Romancini, 2020). In terms of more critical perspectives, there is the most recent reflection by N. García Canclini (2019), who questions the real possibility of replacing the individual exercise of citizenship with the generalized presence of https://doi.org/10.18617/liinc.v18i3.6058 4/17 algorithms.…”

To what extent does the way in which digital platforms are organized favor citizen participation? This article looks at this question using a comparative study between two digital informative architectures: the Five Star Movement’s (originally in Italian “Movimento 5 Stelle”) Rousseau platform in Italy, and the Decidim platform, developed after the 15M movement in Spain by a collaboration of entities from different countries. From a qualitative analysis of its architectures – in accordance with an approach based mainly on communication theory – we sought to investigate and describe the ways in which information circulates and operates, and the possibilities they offer for democratic actions. This was accomplished by analyzing two aspects of the platform: 1) the conception and development of codes; 2) the functions that the platform offers and its interaction with users. In this paper, we start from the central hypothesis that the communication conditions act as a base for the quality and levels of participation. Just as more verticalized communicative structures (such as those of traditional mass media) tend to concentrate decision-making processes and power, more horizontalized structures end up favoring more collaborative and democratic actions: thus, we aimed to verify the extent to which the modes of elaboration and organization of information on these platforms, operating in digital network contexts, enable broad and effective modalities of citizen action

Historical and Political Analysis on Power Balances and Deglobalization

The global political environment associated with the era of globalization was less stringent than previous environments where sovereignty and autonomy were key concepts to the perpetuation of civilization. The era of digital globalization saw the diminishing of the State as the key political actor in international politics while borders (and ideas such as sovereignty and autonomy) become more porous and blurred. This chapter explores the global ‘uncoupling' occurring, which is leading to a new world order.
