'I Show Off, Therefore I Am': The Politics of the Selfie
2016
International audience; Named word of the year by the OED in 2013, the “selfie” is a worldwide phenomenon. Many see these digital self-portraits as markers for the spread of narcissism or signs of the blurring of limits between the public and private spheres. Initially popular with young people, selfies were soon adopted by politicians who, in a mediatized society, are eager to adhere to new vogues and use digital trends to self-promote. Like “digital natives”, they attempt to go viral by turning their cellphones on themselves and tweeting. Contrary to more formal images (official portraits, campaign posters) where politicians are clearly packaged and marketed, self-snapped photos taken on …
#selberdenken.
2023
Soziale Medien stellen wichtige Bühnen für zeitgenössische Konflikte um Wissen und Wahrheit dar. Der Artikel widmet sich vor diesem Hintergrund dem Gebrauch des Hashtags #selberdenken auf Twitter. Mittels einer quantitativen Datenanalyse wird zunächst die Konjunktur der Verwendung des Hashtags nachgezeichnet. Eine anschließende hermeneutische Sequenzanalyse zeigt, wie in seinem Gebrauch ein Anspruch auf epistemische Autonomie zum Ausdruck gebracht wird: Allein die eigenen Erfahrungen, Interpretationen und Quellen gelten als vertrauenswürdig. Dies korrespondiert mit einem grundlegenden Misstrauen in die von den Massenmedien konstruierten Realitäten und einer Trivialisierung von Erkenntnispro…

Twitter rhetoric ? Argumentation in a Twitter debate : a case study
2015
International audience; On the 20th June 2008, “#pdfdebate”, the first presidential campaign debate to be held on Twitter, was launched. For five days, a representative of each of the two major candidates to the US presidential election used their Twitter account to engage in a debate on technology and government, moderated by a famous political blogger. This initiative of Personal Democracy Media, a private foundation dedicated to the study of new technologies in politics, has had no real posterity to this day and was generally considered as a failure. Commentators, both in the press and on Twitter, mostly blamed this failure on the fact that Twitter and its interface are not really suitab…
Vers une polyphonie multimodale. La circulation de discours tiers sur les réseaux sociaux d’hommes et femmes politiques allemands
2012
International audience; La présente proposition de communication, qui trouve son ancrage disciplinaire dans les sciences du langage, se situe à l’interface entre analyse linguistique du discours politique (Girnth, 2002, Charaudeau 2005, Schröter/Carius 2009) et linguistique des médias (Burger 2008). Partant du rôle aujourd’hui unanimement reconnu par la recherche que jouent les nouvelles technologies dans la communication politique (Klemm 2007), elle vise à analyser la façon dont les réseaux sociaux d’hommes et de femmes politiques allemands (cf. infra) intègrent les discours autres – de leur propre camp comme de l’opposition. Elle part de l’hypothèse selon laquelle les réseaux sociaux, tou…

Utilitarian Use of Social Media Services - A Study on Twitter
2018
This paper applies structuration theory (ST) and service dominant logic (SDL) as lenses to study different uses of information systems (IS). We argue that resources provided by IS may be combined and reproduced by appropriating them for different purposes than the design purposes of the IS. The study provides empirical data and analysis to showcase the use of resources for utilitarian purposes in the context of social media services (SMS). Through an analysis of sponsored tweets on Twitter, we show that users employ implicit and explicit resources for utilitarian outcomes. Our findings imply that users create their own service through appropriation of resources available in the social conte…
“Congratulations, you’re on TV!”: Middle-space performances of live tweeters during the FIFA World Cup
2018
Social television has transformed the traditional role of the television viewers by providing ‘ordinary people’ access to the public stage. This article describes how public access to television affected the dialogues of Finnish tweeters on Twitter during the massive media event of the FIFA World Cup. Through the lens of digital conversation analysis, the study shows how the media publicity of tweets changed the direction of the interaction between tweeters and transformed their roles vis-à-vis the television show, making one of them into a ‘media flasher’ and the others viewers of his or her performance. The publicity was constructed as important through noticings, congratulations, and com…
Exploring Post-COVID-19 Branding Strategies of African Destinations
2023
AbstractThe lifting of COVID-19 restrictions has led to the opening of many tourism destinations, with many destination marketing organizations (DMOs) adopting different strategies to attract tourists. This study explores the post-COVID-19 branding strategies of four award-winning African destinations (South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, and Mauritius) and how they utilize social media to communicate their destination brand identities. We curated the tweets of the National Tourism Boards of the examined destinations from their official Twitter accounts and analyzed them using Atlas.ti. We found that each of the destinations uniquely identifies and communicates its destination’s competitive advant…
