Language matters
BACKGROUND: So far, there has been limited interaction between the field of discursive psychology, crisis communication and issue management, despite the relevance of discursive approaches for understanding how meaning, responsibility, and emotions are negotiated during crises and issues. METHODS: To address this gap, this study explores how insights from discursive psychology can be operationalized for crisis communication and issue management p…
Exposing Civic Normativity
This study analyzes the Dutch Happiness Meter (HM) – a digital tool employed by the government to quantify citizens’ happiness – through the lens of critical data studies. We introduce the “persona-based walkthrough method” to explore the HM’s algorithmic underpinnings and its socio technical construction of happiness. By navigating diverse personas through the HM’s interface, we answer the following questions: RQ1: How does the Dutch Happiness M…
The Gab Project
In this article we describe our five-year research project on the notorious radical free speech service and fringe platform Gab. During these years we scraped an entire platform, prepared it into a dataset for analysis, and opened it up to a broader community of students and researchers. Each of these projects provides us not just with a small slice of platformized far-right culture but also with a larger sphere of a fringe platform. However, the…
Fringe discourse networks 1932–2022
In 1932, the Dutch writer Ernest Michel was banned from publishing with a Catholic publisher for critiquing the Catholic church and Dutch democracy. After his ban, Michel joined Verdinaso, a political organization with strong ties to upcoming National Socialist movements in the Netherlands, where he continued to write, frequently advocating for free speech, and against censorship. In this paper, we will compare the case of Michel with the case of…
Deplatformization and the governance of the platform ecosystem
This article analyzes deplatformization as an implied governance strategy by major tech companies to detoxify the platform ecosystem of radical content while consolidating their power as designers, operators, and governors of that same ecosystem. Deplatformization is different from deplatforming: it entails a systemic effort to push back encroaching radical right-wing platforms to the fringes of the ecosystem by denying them the infrastructural s…
‘Liberation Begins with Stating the Facts’
Geert Wilders is internationally the most iconic politician of the Netherlands and one of the most mediagenic flag bearers of Europe’s new right. This paper presents an analysis of a fundamental aspect of Wilders’ claims, namely their apparently factual basis, by employing framing theory and contentious politics theory, and taking a mixed method approach of quantitative data analysis and qualitative critical reading of Wilders’ Twitter timeline. …
