Internet Memes as Stabilizers of Conspiracy Culture
Internet memes have emerged as the de facto language of the internet, where standardized memetic templates and characters distill and communicate narratives in simple, shareable formats. While prior research has highlighted their broad appeal as they traverse diverse audiences, their cultural function within online communities has received less attention. To investigate this function, we draw on cognitive anthropological conceptualizations of cul…
Resonant Awakenings
The moments during which people come to believe in conspiracy theories have been described as 'awakenings'. Current research offers individualised and narrative explanations of awakenings. Yet the social qualities of these experiences have received little attention. Accordingly, this article offers a sociological view of resonant awakenings to explain the processual interactions through which belief in and commitment to conspiracy theories builds…
Against Modern Football
Recent debates in sociology consider how Internet communications might catalyse leaderless, open-ended, affective social movements that broaden support and bypass traditional institutional channels to create change. We extend this work into the field of leisure and lifestyle politics with an empirical study of Internet-mediated protest movement, Stand Against Modern Football. We explain how social media facilitate communications that transcend lo…
Home in Mobility
Atmospheres are powerful forces that tie consumption contexts together (Biehl-Missal and Saren 2012). We immediately feel a ‘cozy café’ (Linnet 2013), a nightclub where everyone is ‘in sync’ (Goulding et al. 2009) and sports events that ‘buzz’ with an energy, carrying us along in the heat of the moment (Edensor 2014). Atmospheres affect our bodies and alter our behaviour, yet, despite this, atmospheres are often overlooked by our current theories…
Research Students in Education and Psychology
Although some attention has been given in the literature to the notion of variable supervisor style, students are often discussed as if they are interchangeable and homogeneous. Results from this study of education and psychology departments in British universities suggest that there are several different ways to present oneself as a student, some more in continuity than others with the requisites for academic success. Five such ‘student styles’ …
Primary Headteachers' Careers
This paper presents some of the findings of a survey of the career trajectories of 287 primary headteachers in one local education authority (LEA). Women were found to be particularly underrepresented in the larger primary schools and this phenomenon is considered in relation to level of qualifications; geographical mobility; age on first appointment to headship; and whether or not a career break was taken. The career aspirations and expectations…
