Risk, value, vitality
Imagine your insurer were an 'active life partner', even a guardian of your future, which engaged with you on a regular basis, through a complex system of digital technology and behavioural science, to ensure you were leading the healthiest, longest, most valuable life possible. This is the foundation for a growing model of 'behavioural insurance' that has become a major approach in the industry. By capturing constant streams of data about consum…
Colonizing the Narrative Space
Social media provides a critical space for people at the margins to document, publish, and share content that publicizes instances of human rights violations, conflict, and dispossession. This presentation explores how asymmetrical content moderation processes, opaque platform policies, and alternative enforcement systems that are brokered through backdoor corporate-government agreements lead to the removal of this content and re-obscure life and…
Colonising the narrative space
Social media platforms play a critical civic role during times of conflict, war, and crises as spaces for people to document and share content that publicises instances of human rights violations, graphic violence, and material destruction. Such content not only function as primary materials in the narration of social and political realities, but also operate as intense sites of control when platforms, state, and non-state actors seek to censor t…

The emergence of digital martyrdom, and its memetic circulation within visual social media platforms, points to the materialisation of a new, affective and ritualised …

Digitally mediated martyrdom
Digitally mediated images depicting death and martyrdom as a trope of resistance and contestation against oppressive regimes emerged as recurring and critical instruments of dissent during the Arab uprisings of 2010–11. While the trope of death and martyrdom as a form of political expression and resistance is not a new phenomenon in the Middle East, the affordances of digital and social media technologies have brought forth new opportunities for …
Constructing Injustice Symbols in Contemporary Trans Rights Activisms
In this paper, we investigate the role that mourning and commemoration practices play in contemporary trans rights activism. Drawing from visual politics, digital activist culture, as well as media and communication, we analyse how trans rights movements construct injustice symbols that are used for sociopolitical mobilisation and expression. We contend that these symbols are constructed through shared communicative practices, which produce and c…
