Global–Local Dynamics and Transformative Approaches in Climate Change Reporting in Mena: Insights from Tunisian Journalists
In Tunisia, like other countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, climate change (CC) is increasingly prompting a re-evaluation of journalism’s traditional gatekeeping role in favour of transformative, community-oriented approaches that promote climate justice, and foster greater awareness and engagement. This study qualitatively explores the perceptions and knowledge of Tunisian journalists (N = 7) covering CC, within a context…
Random access memories or clichéd representations? Exploring historical photographs of the troubles on Instagram
Social media provide unprecedented opportunities for the distribution of photographs capturing experiences of conflict.Instagram in particular renders conflict photography searchable, whilst also aggregating the memories of traumatised communities.This paper adds to the nascent literature in this area by exploring how the photosharing app is used to share photographs of the Northern Irish 'Troubles', a low-intensity conflict that resulted in 3,60…
Where Is the Global South? A Systematic Review of Geopolitical Representation in Digital Activism Research
The diffused and global nature of many digital contexts makes it difficult to trace what regions (incl. The Global South) are represented in digital activism research. This systematic review aimed at providing a sense of this distribution in digital activism research between 2011-2018 (N= 315 articles) through a coding of categories tied to region and marginality. These factors included choice of case study, case study origin and location, author…
Hashtag publics, networked framing and the July 2016 'coup' in Turkey
On 15 July 2016, Turkey faced a military coup attempt against the government. Most Turkish citizens learned about the coup attempt from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who contacted a television channel using FaceTime and urged citizens to go into the streets to resist it. Social media platforms, such as Twitter, were used heavily by Turkish citizens, with hashtags such as #TurkeyCoupAttempt, #darbeyehayir, #NoCoupInTurkey and #TurkeyCoup all tre…
Messy Assemblages, Residuality and Recursion within a Phygital Nexus
A journal for exploring creative engagement with the past, especially through digital means. It publishes primarily what might be thought of as â paradataâ or artistâ s statements that accompany playful and unfamiliar forms of singing the past into existence.

Diffracting Digital Images in the Making
This paper presents a diffractive dialogue between ethnographic accounts of imagery, digital or computational imaging, and art and archaeology practices. It develops the notion of images in the making in the context of the digital domain, to discuss what an image is and can be today. It focuses on two digital imaging techniques developed within archaeology and cultural heritage – reflectance transformation imaging and structure from motion photog…
Countering misinformation and disinformation during contentious episodes in a divided society: Tweeting the 2014 and 2015 Ardoyne parade disputes
Whereas there has been much research into the manufacture of ‘fake news’ to sow disunity within liberal democracies, little is known about how information disorders affect deeply divided societies. This paper addresses that gap in the literature by exploring how digital media are used to share misinformation and disinformation during contentious public demonstrations in Northern Ireland. It does so by reviewing the literature on social media info…
Provenance Illusions and Elusive Paradata: When Archaeology and Art/Archaeological Practice Meets the Phygital
In this art/archaeological study, we question the utility of the interrelated concepts of provenance, provenience, and paradata as applied to assemblages in art, archaeology, and cultural heritage contexts. We discuss how these overlapping concepts are used to establish values of authenticity and authoritative attributions. However, as cultural assemblages are increasingly being extended through virtualisation, they may exist digitally as well as…
Track and Trace, and Other Collaborative Art/Archaeology Bubbles in the Phygital Pandemic
This paper describes our creative responses to a surface assemblage (a scatter) of lithic artefacts encountered on either side of a worn track across a field early on in the pandemic. Our art/archaeology response takes place within a phygital nexus in which artefacts or assemblages can be instantiated either physically or digitally, or both. In the nexus we create, connect and explore an ontological multiplicity of – more or less – physical and d…
Easy Data, Usual Suspects, Same Old Places? A Systematic Review of Methodological Approaches in Digital Activism Research Between 1995-2019
Burgess and Bruns (2015) have linked the computational turn in social media research to a rise in studies that focus exclusively on ‘easy’ data, such as the ‘low hanging fruit’ provided by Twitter hashtags. This paper set out to explore whether this preponderance of easy data and studies focused on the 2011-12 protests is evident in research between 1995 and 2019 through a systematic review of digital activism literature (N = 1444). A particular …
Potential of social media in promoting mental health in adolescents
The growing prevalence of adolescent mental disorders poses significant challenges for education and healthcare systems globally. Providers are therefore keen to identify effective ways of promoting positive mental health. This aim of this qualitative study was to explore perceptions that social media might be leveraged for the purposes of mental health promotion amongst adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years. Utilizing focus groups conducted w…
Whither Digital Archaeological Knowledge? The Challenge of Unstable Futures
Digital technology increasingly pervades all settings of archaeological practice and virtually every stage of knowledge production. Through the digital we create, develop, manage and share our disciplinary crown jewels. However, technology adoption and digital mediation has not been uniform across all settings or stages. This diversity might be celebrated as reflecting greater openness and multivocality in the discipline, but equally it can be ar…
After Virtual Archaeology: Rethinking Archaeological Approaches to the Adoption of Digital Technology
In the 1980s archaeologists embraced the rapidly expanding field of computer modelling and visualisation as a vehicle for data exploration. Against this backdrop 'virtual archaeology' was conceived. The term was originally intended to describe a multidimensional approach to the modelling of the (im)material structures and processes of field archaeology. It described how technology could be harnessed in order to achieve new ways of documenting, in…

Researching protest on Facebook: Developing an ethical stance for the study of Northern Irish flag protest pages
This paper adds to the emergent literature on Internet research ethics by exploring the ethical implications of researching the use of Facebook to organize the union flag protests in Northern Ireland in January 2013. These protests were viewed as a ‘lightning rod’ for loyalist dissatisfaction with the peace process, as well as a manifestation of their increasing alienation from their unionist political representatives. The covert observation of t…
Tweeting for peace? Twitter and the Ardoyne parade dispute in Belfast, July 2014
This paper explores how social media can facilitate peace building by focusing on how citizens used Twitter during a contentious march in the Ardoyne district of North Belfast in July 2014. Fears of a repeat of sectarian clashes seen a year earlier were not realized, and the study was designed to empirically investigate whether critics and supporters of the Orange Order used the microblogging site to help reduce the sectarian tensions that surrou…
Rediscovering and modernising the digital Old Minster of Winchester
The models and animations of the Old Minster, Winchester were remarkable in 1984–6 for producing the earliest animated tour of a virtual archaeological monument. Thought to be lost, thirty years on the original model files were rediscovered buried under layers of now unsupported code and recovered. This paper describes how the models were initially developed in the 1980s and then subsequently retrieved, restored and re-purposed in 2015. The origi…
Additive Archaeology: An AlternativeFramework for RecontextualisingArchaeological Entities
Additive manufacturing poses a number of challenges to conventional understandings of materiality, including the so-called archaeological record. In particular, concepts such as real, virtual, and authentic are becoming increasingly unstable, as archaeological artefacts and assemblages can be digitalised, reiterated, extended and distributed through time and space as 3D printable entities. This paper argues that additive manufacturing represents …
Palimpsests of Immaterial Assemblages Taken out of Context: Tracing Pompeians from the Void into the Digital
This paper explores some ontological aspects of archaeological voids and enclosures together with their translations and substitutions, and considers the nature of spaces within material archaeological deposits and artefacts. The dematerialized and rematerialized bodies of the victims of Vesuvius in CE 79 are reappraised as a case study. By problematizing the voids we are able to think critically about the ontological status of the victims’ persi…
Ethical dilemmas in researching sensitive issues online: Lessons from the study of British disability dissent networks
This paper presents an unconventional approach to the resolution of the key ethical dilemmas raised by the study of politically charged personal content posted on social media. In particular, this study suggests that Internet research ethics should remain informed by the disciplinary perspectives of those who study online communities. Hence, Internet scholars must build on established ethical practices from their respective disciplines in such a …
Community Worker Perspectives on the Use of New Media to Reconfigure Socio-spatial Relations in Belfast
Cyber enthusiasts as far back as Rheingold have suggested that cyberspatial technologies such as the Internet have the potential to transform space–time relations and create new social spaces, thus ameliorating social conflict in contested areas. However, a more sceptical view of cyberspatial communication is provided by Hampton, who argues that on-line interactions cannot be artifically separated from their off-line contexts. This article will a…
