Enriching the metapicture
This article discusses a methodological approach to the study of audio-visual content on platforms like TikTok. We argue that existing methodologies for the analysis of visual content based on the notions of the metapicture are not yet fully equipped to account for the multi-layered, dynamic, and information-rich nature of audio-visual material. To fill this gap, we propose an approach aimed at ‘enriching’ the metapicture with textual and other c…
The Platformisation of Consumer Culture
This book offers a unique methodological guide for social and marketing scholars interested in understanding and using digital methods to explore the processes of platformisation of consumer culture unfolding on digital media. The book introduces the reader to key digital methods concepts, strategies, and techniques through a set of ad hoc case studies focused on the most prominent digital platforms (such as Facebook, Spotify, or TripAdvisor) as …
From attention to affect
This article explores the dynamics of status gaining and signalling among Instagram micro-influencers. The article posits that within the influencer industry, the process of status acquisition is undergoing a shift from attention to affect, where the collection and display of public expressions of sentiment have become central to accruing social status. The emphasis on affective responses and interactions, however, goes hand in hand with the cons…
Trending Resistance
Starting from January 2023, a new trend gained momentum on TikTok: It is called #deinfluencing, and it collects a series of videos which criticise the consumerist logic of the influencer industry and its tendency to overconsumption, as well as the platforms’ architectures that further fuel these processes. This contribution aims at investigating the #deinfluencing trend on TikTok to analyse to what extent it represents a form of resistance to iss…
The platformization of gender and sexual identities
Online pornography, like other forms of cultural production, is increasingly subject to processes of platformization. While research has focused on the diffusion of online pornography and its broader implications, less attention has been paid to the algorithmic infrastructures through which platforms distribute and manage pornographic content, and how this might reiterate socially embedded views and perspectives. To fill this gap, we consider how…
From archive cultures to ephemeral content, and back
Despite growing interest, there is a shortage of research about the methods and challenges that concern researching ephemeral digital content. To fill this gap, the article discusses two research strategies to study Instagram Stories. These allow users to share moments of their everyday lives in a documentary and narrative style; their peculiar feature is ephemerality, as each Story lasts for 24 hours. The article (a) explores how to bypass the I…
The Use of Telegram for Non-Consensual Dissemination of Intimate Images
This article analyses the role of Telegram in orienting, amplifying, and normalizing the non-consensual diffusion of intimate images (NCII). We focus on the sense of anonymity, the platform's weak regulation, and the possibility of creating large male communities, arguing that these affordances are 'gendered affordances' as they orient male participants' harassment behaviors and, in concert with an established misogynist culture, contribute to th…
