Misinformation Beyond Traditional Feeds: Evidence from a WhatsApp Deactivation Experiment in Brazil
Sounding the Vernacular Sea
This article brings ecocritical insights from music studies to bear upon the traditional song repertoire of Nova Scotia in order to ask how those songs shape and reflect attitudes toward the marine environment and how they register or interrogate those attitudes in times of crisis. It centers on and contextualizes a 2019 performance from the province's rugged Eastern Shore, both a site of managed underdevelopment and a depopulated wilderness of i…
The Diffusion and Reach of (Mis)Information on Facebook during the U.S. 2020 Election
Social media creates the possibility for rapid, viral spread of content, but how many posts actually reach millions? And is misinformation special in how it propagates? We answer these questions by analyzing the virality of and exposure to information on Facebook during the U.S. 2020 presidential election. We examine the diffusion trees of the approximately 1 B posts that were re-shared at least once by U.S.-based adults from July 1, 2020, to Feb…
Political Knowledge and Misinformation in the Era of Social Media: Evidence From the 2015 UK Election
Does social media educate voters, or mislead them? This study measures changes in political knowledge among a panel of voters surveyed during the 2015 UK general election campaign while monitoring the political information to which they were exposed on the Twitter social media platform. The study's panel design permits identification of the effect of information exposure on changes in political knowledge. Twitter use led to higher levels of knowl…
The (Null) Effects of Clickbait Headlines on Polarization, Trust, and Learning

Contemporary clickbait headlines tend to use emotional partisan appeals, raising concerns about their impact on consumers of online news. This article reports the results of a pair of experiments with different sets of subject pools: one conducted using Facebook ads that explicitly target people with a high prefere…

How Accurate Are Survey Responses on Social Media and Politics
How accurate are survey-based measures of social media use, in particular about political topics? We answer this question by linking original survey data collected during the U.S. 2016 election campaign with respondents’ observed social media activity. We use supervised machine learning to classify whether these Twitter and Facebook account data are content related to politics. We then benchmark our survey measures on frequency of posting about p…
Communism's Shadow: Historical Legacies and Contemporary Political Attitudes
It has long been assumed that the historical legacy of Soviet Communism would have an important effect on post-communist states. However, prior research has focused primarily on the institutional legacy of communism. "Communism's Shadow" instead turns the focus to the individuals who inhabit post-communist countries, presenting a rigorous assessment of the legacy of communism on political attitudes. Post-communist citizens hold political, economi…

Sounding the Latin Transatlantic: Music, Integration, and Ambivalent Ethnogenesis in Spain
This article uses commentary on and consumption of popular music as a lens to explore how Peruvian immigrants in Spain experience new notions of belonging and alterity as they tack between official Spanish discourses about difference and otherness and distinct notions of unity and sameness that circulate within the country's wider Latin American community. I examine the uneven, tentative emergence of a local Latino identity, and how this formatio…
From The World of the Poor to the Beaches of Eisha: Chicha , Cumbia , and the Search for a Popular Subject in Peru
Producing the Andean Voice: Popular Music, Folkloric Performance, and the Possessive Investment in Indigeneity
This article explores the way that different popular musical genres stage distinct visions of Andean experience in contemporary Peru. It argues that the varying notions of aesthetic and social legitimacy attached to competing musical genres can be traced to dissimilar ideologies of indigenous difference, which emerged at different historical moments and are therefore tied to distinct politics of cultural identity. By exploring the way that indivi…

Permitted Indians and Popular Music in Contemporary Peru: The Poetics and Politics of Indigenous Performativity
O a generation ago, two dark futures were widely foreseen for the indigenous peoples of Latin America: either they would wither away in irredentist isolation, resistant to the spirit of modern times, or they would be forced into the urban proletariat, losing their distinct identities as they dissolved into the continent’s underclass. Instead, over the past three decades, indigenous actors returned questions of cultural difference and survival to …
Music Radio and Global Mediation: Producing social distinction in the Andean public sphere
This article offers a model for studying the dynamics of globalized popular musics, that fills methodological and theoretical lacunae in existing scholarly approaches. It deals with the emergence and circulation of a hybrid popular music called música ayacuchana, which over the 1990s became an important site of identification for the emergent Andean migrant middle class of Lima, Peru. Describing the role of radio stations and, particularly, DJs' …

Mediating Sentiment and Shaping Publics: Recording Practice and the Articulation of Social Change in Andean Lima
This article, based on several years of fieldwork in Peru, describes the emergence and circulation of an Andean popular style called música ayacuchana, arguing that it was instrumental in defining Lima's emergent Andean bourgeoisie. While the music's cosmopolitan blend of local traditions, Andean "world" music, and international pop is noteworthy, I argue that its success must be understood in relation to the media circuits by which it reached it…
