Value conflicts in natural language processing
Despite broad consensus among social scientists that technology embodies values, scholarship is conspicuously lacking in reflexive analysis of the value-based implications of natural language processing (NLP) technologies. To explore embedded values and potential harms in the NLP domain, a systematic literature review grounded in established value frameworks focused on how uninformed design decisions can perpetuate algorithmic biases and lead to …
Theorizing and Measuring General Nonmarket Communication
Firms increasingly use nonmarket communication, including communication related to corporate political activity, social responsibility, and activism. We argue that, in a polarized social media era, these domains are strongly interlinked and may even have significant overlap in firms’ public messaging. We introduce the concept of general nonmarket communication (GNC) to describe this phenomenon and measure it on social media using a large language…
The emergence of computational social science
Has the emerging field of computational social science grown increasingly intellectually integrated over time, or does the field remain fragmented into several distinct epistemic communities? Because research literature is still inconclusive in this regard, we use data about citations to study the development of the intellectual structure of computational social science. The findings suggest that network science has maintained a central position …
Heterogeneous associations between early-life religious upbringing and late-life health
Religious upbringing was common in Europe during the childhood of older adults today. However, studies are still lacking on how early-life religious upbringing is associated with adult health and how this association differs in different population segments. We used cross-national data of 10,346 adults aged 50 or older in Europe. The causal forest approach was applied to capture the complex nonlinear relationships in the data and estimate the ave…
MarxistLLM
Recently, there has been increasing interest in using language models to examine the society. As large language models embody societal values and perspectives, practitioners and scholars might not account for the biases that these models cause in use. Instead of seeing biases as a source of error with big data, we could think of them as theoretical perspectives in the sense of a worldview ( Weltanschauung ), such as rational choice theory, Marxis…
Nordic Perspectives on Algorithmic Systems Card Box
This pdf contains the full materials for Nordic Perspectives on Algorithmic Systems: A Card Box, including an information leaflet, four card decks (settings, methods, metaphors, caveats), and the box itself. Please note that the compilation is not optimized for printing! The contents of this box were developed to support the creation of games for exploration of algorithmic systems in research and design. The box contains four decks of cards: (1) …
Populist platform strategies
Social media platforms are increasingly becoming an important tool to mobilize populist right-wing issues and movements. This study provides comparative insights into the activity and engagement of right-wing populist parties on three social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) in four Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland). Based on a quantitative analysis of social media data, we conclude that Facebook is the most…
Religious Freedom in the City Pool
Low political support for religious minority groups in the United States is often explained as a matter of social distance or unfamiliarity between religious traditions. Observable differences between beliefs and behaviors of religious minority groups and the cultural mainstream are thought to demarcate group boundaries. However, little scholarship has examined why some practices become symbolic boundaries that reduce support for religious accomm…
Facebook is not a silver bullet for teachers’ professional development
Online communities and social-network sites are used to deliver professional-development services for teachers. Professional development should help teachers to reflect on their practice and improve in helping them to guide students' growth. Peer and community models, such as coaching and sharing knowledge in network and knowledge communities, have been proposed. Recently these practices have been taken into use in social media services, such as …
Affective Practice of Soldiering
The paper explores how visual affective practice is used to spread and bolster a nationalist, extremist and racist ethos on the public Facebook page of the anti-immigrant group, Soldiers of Odin. Affective practice refers to a particular sensibility of political discourse, shaped by social formations and digital technologies—the contexts in which political groups or communities gather, discuss and act. The study shows how visual affective practic…
Remediation in the hybrid media environment
We examine the position of five online-only ‘countermedia’ publications often publicly labelled as ‘fake media’ and use them to indicate how the ‘post-truth era’ takes place. Both academic and public discussions perceive countermedia as separate and distinct from the established, professionally produced journalist media outlets. We argue that the studied outlets are an integral part of the hybrid media environment. Our data show countermedia main…
Platformed Interactions
Interaction between candidates and constituents via social media is a well-studied domain. The article takes this research further through a synthesis with platform studies, emerging scholarship that applies a critical perspective to the role of digital platforms in society. Examination of candidate-constituent interaction via Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Finnish parliamentary elections revealed that the types of interaction differ betwee…
Refugee debate and networked framing in the hybrid media environment
In this article, we analyse how the debate on the ‘refugee crisis’ has been constructed in Finnish news media and social media by using big data analytics. The study applies big data with the aim of exploring the dynamics between the mainstream news media and social media and the ways in which these dynamics shape and strategically amplify different understandings of the refugee crisis. The research highlights over-emphasis of crime and threat-or…
Affective economy of national-populist images
In our article, we investigate the affective economy of national-populist image circulation on Facebook. This is highly relevant, since social media has been an essential area for the spread of national-populist ideology. In our research, we analyse image circulation as affective practice, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. We use computational data analysis methods to examine visual big data: image fingerprints and reverse image sea…
The meanings of racism
Understandings of racism are produced and circulated in contemporary networked media forms, contributing new opportunities to both extend and challenge racializing discourses, images and frameworks. This study investigated how the concept of racism is used in Finnish public debate by employing a computational text analysis technique to derive topics related to racism from a large corpus of news media content and online discussion forum comments. …
Working the fields of big data
The paper proposes big-data-augmented ethnography as a novel mixed-methods approach to studying political discussions in a hybrid media system. Using such empirical setup, the authors examined candidate–candidate online interaction during election campaigning. Candidate–candidate interaction crossing party boundaries is scarce and occurs in the form of negative campaigning via social media, with the shaming of rival candidates and engaging in bat…
