What drives changes in expressive social media use for generational cohorts
Extant literature has often focused on digital citizenship amongst youths in particular instances and contexts, but is limited in addressing how such citizenship compare to other generational cohorts. Examining political expression as a particular form of actualising citizenship, the paper utilises a longitudinal approach to explore the effects of changes in political efficacy, media use, political knowledge, media trust and political talk on pol…
Introduction to the special issue “Digital mortality: Death and infrastructure”
Prior internet studies research has examined dying, death, and disposal from the perspectives of material practices, new persistences, visibilities, and identities, but less so through the lens of platforms and algorithms. This special issue examines how digital infrastructures, manifested as platforms and algorithms, function to transform experiences of mortality and mortal existences. It opens up discussion about the ways in which intersections…
Using Theory to Develop Healthy Choices in Motion, a Comprehensive, Experiential Physical Activity Curriculum
Background: Research has shown that engaging in regular physical activity supports physiologic, metabolic, and immunologic processes, as well as quality of life. However, few youth in the United States meet the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommendation of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity every day. School-based programs can be an effective avenue for engaging youth in physical activity, particularly when the …

Science Literacy or Value Predisposition? A Meta-Analysis of Factors Predicting Public Perceptions of Benefits, Risks, and Acceptance of Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is widely regarded as a controversial technology that polarizes public opinion. Guided by the scientific literacy and cognitive miser models, this study systematically identified and examined the magnitude of the effects of 19 predictors on public perceptions of benefits, risks, and acceptance of nuclear energy. We meta-analysed 34 empirical studies, representing a total sample of 32,938 participants and 129 independent correlation…
The Internet in Asia through Singapore
The Internet or, as these authors argue, Internets (plural) in Asia are composed of cables and exchanges, protocols and firewalls, regulations and other legal devices, making them subject to investment and governance strategies, as well as treaties and court cases. But they are also composed of figures, layers, stories, and rumors. These latter descriptors provide a heuristic framework of social features that, together with metaphors from folklor…
Social media and citizen engagement: A meta-analytic review
This meta-analytic study reviews empirical research published from 2007 to 2013 with an aim of providing robust conclusions about the relationship between social media use and citizen engagement. It includes 22 studies that used self-reported measures of social media use and participation, with a total of 116 relationships/effects. The results suggest that social media use generally has a positive relationship with engagement and its three sub-ca…
When countries become the talking point in microblogs: Study on country hashtags in Twitter
Hashtags are placeholder features for capturing the underlying themes in microblog posts. Prior studies have investigated the conversation dynamics, interplay with other media platforms and communication patterns between users for specific event-based hashtags. Commonplace hashtags have been largely ignored, albeit the utility of these hashtags is the main reason behind their continued usage. This study aims to understand the rationale behind the…
Seeking common ground: Coffee shops as information grounds in the context of conflict
Using coffee shops as information grounds in the context of Christians and Muslim violent conflicts in Indonesia, this paper explores and explicates the emergence of information grounds in the context of conflicts. In a polarized society, coffee shops are constructed as a venue for social reliefs and rituals. They function as social magnets, attracting conflicting actors to put off their differences in lieu of community building. As information g…
Fuming and fogging memories: Civil society and state in communication of heritage in Singapore in the cases of the Singapore Memories Project and the ‘Marxist Conspiracy’ of 1987
This paper seeks to discuss the ecology of memories in contemporary Singapore as reflective of emerging tensions between the state and civil society in remembering the development of the nation-state for close to about five decades of independence. At the core of the tension are competing efforts to curate public memories through traditional and new media. As the state establishes a nostalgic community that sentimentalizes the dominant narrative …
Remembering digitally: New media and the communicating of new memories
Once contained in personal diaries, family photo albums and scrapbooks of small groupings of friends, the private and intimate realms of memories have now made a huge jump into the public domain of
Neoliberal visions, post-capitalist memories: Heritage politics and the counter-mapping of Singapore's cityscape
This paper argues that the move towards a neoliberal vision of the city-state in the postindustrial era in Singapore has not gone unchallenged. With alternative resources of collective memory, the innovations of the social media and openings within the state dominated press, the authors seek to illustrate the process of counter-mapping of Singapore's cityscape by conservation groups. The relationship between technological affordances and citizen …
Industrial railroad to digital memory routes: Remembering the last railway in Singapore
The Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) Berhad railway line was a crucial mode of transport for goods and passengers moving between Singapore and its neighbouring country Malaysia. Tanjong Pagar railway station – the terminus of the KTM railway line in Singapore – ceased operation from 1 July 2011, and KTM railway tracks in Singapore were slated for removal, after the relocation of the terminus to a border station between the two countries. This event ha…
Globalization of the Internet, Sovereignty or Democracy: The Trilemma of the Internet Governance Forum
Alors que les technologies de la communication deviennent toujours plus innovantes et qu’lnternet prend de l’ampleur, le besoin de reconsidérer le mandat du Forum sur la Gouvernance d’Internet se fait clairement sentir. Il s’agit-là de l’objet de cet article qui est fondé sur la recherche faite sur la globalisation et la démocratie (Chua, 2003), sur les « trilemmes » de l’intégration glo-bale (Rodrik, 2000) et sur la logique de l’action collectiv…
