Are We Watching the Same Video: On the Definition of the Situation and Audience Sense-Making on Social Media about the Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Marilyn Manson
How situations are defined is a social process. This paper examines how users on YouTube make sense of the alleged sexual assault perpetrated by shock rocker Marilyn Manson in the 2007 'Heart Shaped-Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)' music video. Actor Evan Rachel Wood revealed in a 2022 documentary that she had been 'essentially raped' by Manson in the video. Using qualitative media analysis, we collected and analyzed a total of 5466 user…

International audience
Police Accounts of Body-Worn Camera Footage In News Media
People offer accounts in response to actions that are subjected to valuative inquiry. Recordings of police actions captured on body-worn camera (BWC) video can become subject to valuative inquiry when footage is publicly released. This footage may possibly undermine police legitimacy. Managing legitimacy is a basic rationale for why police provide accounts in response to their conduct. Proponents of BWCs assert that the devices enhance legitimacy…
Public Criminology and Media Debates Over Policing
Public criminology is concerned with public understandings of crime and policing and public discussions of such matters by criminologists and allied social scientists. For the purposes of this paper, these professionals are individuals identified by journalists on the basis of academic credentials or university affiliation as those who can speak to crime matters. This qualitative study investigates media statements made by criminologists and alli…
Justin R. Ellis: Policing Legitimacy: Social Media, Scandal and Sexual Citizenship
Music and Media
Music is a feature of societies and cultures worldwide. The study of the relationship between music and media has developed into an important subfield of the sociology of music, reflecting the significance of mediation on music. This entry outlines modern developments and changes in the production and consumption of music that are attributed to evolving media formats – from radio and television to physical recorded media products such as vinyl re…
Twitter Revolution
Twitter is a social media platform with hundreds of millions of users around the world. Twitter has had a discernible impact across the twenty‐first‐century zeitgeist in the broad reshaping of global politics, activism and social movements, government social control efforts, corporate marketing strategies, journalism, celebrity influence, and mass media agenda‐setting, among other issues. Of the many contributions Twitter has made to popular cult…
Les caméras portatives utilisées par les forces policières: Suppositions Et Implications
Si l’on se penche sur les études portant sur l’usage de caméras portatives par les forces policières, on constate que le corpus est minime, et qu’il examine surtout d’éventuels effets dissuasifs de ces dispositifs quant au recours à la force par les policiers, et quant au comportement des citoyens lors des interactions avec ces derniers. La présente étude prend appui sur nos précédents travaux, sur des preuves empiriques ainsi que sur quelques an…
I Wish I Could Grow a Full Beard: The Amateur Pogonotropher on the Beardbrand YouTube Channel
Pogonotrophy refers to beard cultivation including growth and grooming practices. This exploratory study contributes to the little understood role of beard culture on YouTube. Scholarship examining the relationship between social media platforms such as YouTube and beard culture is almost nonexistent. This gap in the research allows us to ask the following: What sorts of content do users circulate about beards on YouTube? And, how does this conte…
Politicization of Sexual Misconduct as Symbolic Annihilation: An Analysis of News Media Coverage of the 2016 “Rape Election”
Body Worn Cameras and police image work: News media coverage of the Rialto Police Department’s body worn camera experiment
In 2015, the so-called “Rialto study” was published in a peer-reviewed journal, although the findings of this experiment impacted policing as early as 2013. The yearlong study of officers who wore Body Worn Cameras (BWCs) in Rialto, California found that among those officers who wore the devices, use of force incidents decreased, as did complaints against the officers. These findings were extensively profiled in news media and lauded by numerous …
Sociologists Say: E-Public Sociology on Twitter
This paper explores how individuals who self-identify on Twitter as sociologists holding teaching posts at institutions of higher education use the popular micro-blogging social media site. A total of 152,977 tweets from profiles of 130 sociologists were collected and examined using qualitative media analysis. What emerged from these data was an empirical case for an expanded conceptualization of Burawoy’s vision of public sociology. Building upo…

Police presentational strategies on Twitter in Canada
This empirically driven paper explores police presentational strategies on popular micro-blogging social media site Twitter. A total of 105,801 tweets from Canadian Toronto Police Service Twitter accounts were examined using qualitative document analysis. Thematic issues associated with police professionalism and community policing are identified. A finding that runs throughout each thematic includes official police officer use of Twitter while o…
The Public Sociology Debate: Ethics and Engagement
In 2004, Michael Burawoy challenged sociologists to move beyond the ivory tower and into the realm of activism – to engage in public discourses about what society could or should be. His call to arms sparked intense debate among sociologists. Which side would "sociology" take? Would "public sociology" speak for all sociologists? In this volume, which opens with a foreword by Michael Burawoy, leading Canadian sociologists continue the conversation…

Culture, Rap Music, "Bitch," and the Development of the Censorship Frame
Drawing theoretically both from cultural studies and cultural criminology, this exploratory project suggests that negative public perceptions associated with rap music are in large part informed through both formal and informal censorship agendas and campaigns, what the author terms the censorship frame. The censorship frame consists of mass media reports that proclaim the cultural association between music and collectively shared and culturally …
Constructing the Student Culprit
Culprit is a part of a broader definition of rule breaking. Deviance, theft, and cheating are all subparts of culprit, a term generally understood as doing something untoward or wrong. The explicit point is that culprit is more encompassing than deviance, theft, or even cheater, as it includes all of these, and, then some. This article investigates the media production and framing of student culprit, and drawing from some exploratory fieldwork, t…

Music and Media
Popular music is a basic part of culture in the United States and much of the world. Music in the broadest sense is not clearly definable. When considering the significance and impact of the media in the modern world, developing a concrete definition becomes more problematic. Definitional concerns are most apparent when music is discussed or thought of in a “universal sense” (music as the universal language). Nevertheless, music can be generally …
