“…It is therefore possible to create an archive from a series of searches using the advanced search functionality and ‘scraping’ the results. Outwit Hub Pro software was used to ‘scrape’ via Twitter’s native ‘advanced search’ functionality using the method developed by Fuller (2017a, 2017b) and documented elsewhere. Conducting historical research through Twitter is very difficult and the method used here is by no means perfect (e.g.…”

“…there is no way to represent or test the comprehensiveness of the search results). However, as Fuller (2017b) notes, it is nevertheless a way to overcome the research barriers of relying on Twitter’s API and its restrictions on historical tweets when trying to gather a relatively small dataset. A total of 8721 tweets were ‘scraped’ from Malcolm Turnbull’s official account, @TurnbullMalcolm, between 14 October 2008 and 11 July 2016.…”

Politicians’ use of Twitter during election periods has been extensively researched. There has been less scholarly focus on the way politicians’ use of Twitter changes depending on their political circumstances. This article reports on an analysis of Malcolm Turnbull’s Twitter account from October 2008 to July 2016 examining his ‘engagement’ in terms of ‘conversations’ with political journalists, specialist technology writers and other Twitter users. It found Turnbull ‘conversed’ with the general public more than elites and revealed heated exchanges with specialist technology writers about the National Broadband Network (NBN) and more genial ‘banter’ with political journalists. It also showed a peak in ‘conversations’ when he was Shadow Minister for Communications and a sharp decline once he became Minister for Communications and then Prime Minister. This article points to the need for further long-duration research to better understand the impact of changing political contexts on politicians’ use of social media.

“…Official regulations, guidelines and documents, media reports, field notes of participant observations as well as interview transcripts were used to analyze the "doings and sayings" related to the process. Similar to the discourse-oriented post-structural materialist perspective employed by Schäfer [34] and Hillebrandt [35], we bring discourse and practice theory together. In line with Schäfer-who applied this approach to studying protest events-discourses are treated "as practices which set the topics they speak about (cf.…”

After its first funding period from 1991 to 1994, LEADER was positively evaluated as a successful strategy to empower actors at the regional level, enable regional development and contribute to territorial cohesion within the European Union. Critical studies, however, have highlighted elitist tendencies in LEADER processes and asked whether the proclaimed goal of strengthening ‘the local’ contributes to new or other forms of social and spatial injustice. Our research focus lies in how representation, distribution, and recognition—as the three interrelated dimensions of justice according to Nancy Fraser—are featured in the discourse related to redesigning a local development strategy (LDS). During this process, which is conceived as the most open and inclusive phase in each LEADER funding period, we conducted expert interviews and participatory observations in a case study region and gathered media reports, documents, and official regulations. In our analysis of issues of representation, distribution, and recognition, we also focus on the spatial scales that are referred to and the ways in which the involved actors challenge and justify the status quo. Our analysis explicates the actors’ implicit normative understandings as well as their different perspectives and positions considering perceived injustice. Even though the LDS process provides opportunities to negotiate these positions and to work towards more just representation, distribution, and recognition, they are partly constrained by structural and individual dependencies.

“…Various empirical studies have found evidence of crowd-enabled connective action in contexts ranging from celebrity fandom (Fuller, 2018) to disability rights (Trevisan, 2018). Zeng (2020) studies the spread of #MeToo on Chinese social media as connective action, illustrating how the digital movement “emerged, adapted, and grew within an authoritarian context” (p. 171).…”

Black Lives Matter goes global: Connective action meets cultural hybridity in Brazil, India, and Japan

This study examines the global diffusion of Black Lives Matter (BLM) as digitally networked connective action. Combining social network analysis with qualitative textual analysis, we show that BLM was hybridized in different ways to give voice to local struggles for social justice in Brazil, India, and Japan. However, BLM’s hybridization stirred right-wing backlash within these countries that not only targeted local movements but BLM too. Theoretically, we argue that both transnational contiguities and intra-cultural tensions shape the construction of meanings—or “action frames”—as connective action crosses cultural borders. Resonant frames, which are in harmony with the values of the movement, amplify the features of the global movement that resonate with local concerns or hybridize it with a local struggle. Reactionary frames, which are hostile to movement values, may also target the global movement or its hybridization. We theorize the different roles of global and local crowd-enabled elites in transnational connective action.
