Heat in Real Time, Climate in Retrospect
Heatwaves recur annually yet remain under-theorised as seasonal journalistic events. Drawing on Bødker’s idea of seasonal journalism, this study traces how Japanese news media narratives on heatwaves changed across the hot-cool cycle and how those narratives link, or fail to link, extreme heat to climate change. We analysed 3,431,739 news articles published on Yahoo! News Japan between March 1, 2024, and April 30, 2025, especially focusing on 5,0…
Constitutive and Material
Microplastics, an increasingly widespread environmental problem, have built a high profile on different communication platforms in Japan. Inspired by Davies and Horst's understanding that science communication is constitutive and material, this article empirically analyzed the general situation of microplastics communication in the Japanese context. We examined the development in the meaning of microplastics as the exemplification of the constitu…
Introducing an “invisible enemy”
Microplastics, a novel global environmental problem, has become a fast-developing research field with worldwide investments. With scientific development, social science studies are expected to contribute to developing more effective communication on microplastics. Among various media, this article focused on Wikipedia and discussed one particular situation—when the language of Wikipedia differs from the language of mainstream information sources.…
Interplay of network structure and neighbour performance in user innovation
Previous studies showed that regular users have become an important source of innovation (called user innovation ). Previous studies also suggested that two factors have significant impacts on user innovation : the social network structure of the users and neighbours’ innovation performance (neighbours mean users having interactions with the focal user). However, in these studies, the influence of the two factors were only discussed separately, a…
Big data research guided by sociological theory
Computational social science has integrated social science theories and methodology with big data analysis. It has opened a number of new topics for big data analysis and enabled qualitative and quantitative sociological research to provide the ground truth for testing the results of data mining. At the same time, threads of evidence obtained by data mining can inform the development of theory and thereby guide the construction of predictive mode…
