Misinformation environments and social risk
Misinformation is widely recognised as a significant social risk, yet conceptual disagreement persists over how the problem should be defined, analysed and managed across disciplines. Within risk analysis, misinformation is typically approached as a problem of encoding: a product of poor practice in risk assessment or risk communication, addressed through stronger scientific fundamentals and greater transparency. This article argues that such an …
Organize and Fight (Online)
Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-lockdown movements sparked concerns about online extremism escalating into real-world violence. This study takes the Australian anti-lockdown movement to explore extremist discourse in Australia, as it contained several, overlapping and interacting extremisms. This study explores the labelling of these protests as extreme and examines the interplay between individuals, ideologies and discourse. …
Complexity, Digital Media and Post Truth Politics
An event-based model for studying network time empirically in digital media systems
In this article, I will attempt to engage critically with the concept of network time, which scholars have used to describe emergent, super-fast temporal experiences associated with digital media environments. I argue that critical reflection is necessary because, while network time has received significant attention as a time theory within the social sciences, there remains some uncertainty around its physical and phenomenological origins. I dis…
Riots and Twitter
Social media technologies like Twitter are credited with enabling a new form of connective action, in which political movements coalesce and mobilise around hashtags, memes and personalised action frames. After the UK riots in 2011, citizen ‘broom armies’ took to the streets to clear up and repair damage. Different hashtags, including #RiotCleanUp and #OperationCupOfTea, were implicated in these movements.This paper questions connective action th…
Social cohesion, Twitter and far-right politics in Australia
The concept of ‘social cohesion’ has become an orthodoxy in governmental and academic discourse, augmenting the complex of progressive and liberal politics that have formed around the modern, multicultural and globally engaged nation-state. The reinvigoration of far-right politics is challenging this orthodoxy, at least inasmuch as these politics appear to be gaining traction through the strategic manipulation of increasing insecurity within thes…
Twitter Time
This article examines the role that the microblogging service Twitter plays in engaging audiences with televised political debate. Analysis focuses on Q&A, a political discussion show hosted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and the #QandA hashtag used to discuss the broadcast. Analysis suggests that rather than enabling user-to-user communication, the #QandA stream is characterized by the struggle to signify and complex nonlinear tempo…
