Informaatiohäiriöt mediayhteiskunnassa
Informaatiohäiriöistä eli mis-, dis- ja malinformaation luomisesta ja kierrättämisestä digitaalisilla alustoilla on tullut yhä polttavampi yhteiskunnallinen ja tieteellinen kysymys. Tässä Media & viestintä -lehden Informaatiohäiriöt mediayhteiskunnassa teemanumeron johdannossa luomme katsauksen informaatiohäiriöiden tutkimukseen. Tutkimuskentässä on erotettavissa kolme osin päällekkäistä näkökulmaa: 1) ilmiö, sen syntymekanismit ja seuraukset, 2)…
Developing digital team ethnography of global media events on social media
The live character of suddenly breaking global media events along with the massive volume of digital traces they produce pose considerable challenges for research in the current communication environment. In this methodological article, we use the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks as an empirical context for methodological reflection. We suggest a new type of ethnographic investigation of events—a digital team ethnography augmented by computationa…
Ambivalent rituals of belonging
The updating of media event theory for the digital age has been underway for some time, and several researchers have pointed out that the complexity of the hybrid media environment poses a challenge when it comes to understanding how media events in the present digital context ritually create belonging. In this article, we examine violent media events as hybrid phenomena and discuss their ritual workings in the present digital media environment. …
Aihemallinnus hybridin mediatapahtuman ja merkitysten kierron tutkimuksessa
Laskennallisten menetelmien käyttö viestintätieteissä on viime vuosina herättänyt kasvavaa kiinnostusta. Menetelmien soveltaminen vaatii kuitenkin sekä osaamista että materiaalisia resursseja, kuten palvelimia ohjelmien suorittamiseen. Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa Twitter-aineiston laskennallista keruuta sekä erityisesti sen analyysiä erään ohjaamattoman koneoppimismenetelmän, aihemallinnuksen avulla. Keräsimme artikkelin empiirisen aineiston…
Digital media ethnographers on the move – An unexpected proposal
This article explores what digital media ethnography as a methodological approach can offer to the study of contiguous media events with an unexpected, violent and fluid nature. Emphasising the role of media events in the present organisation of social life, we as digital media anthropologists acknowledge the tendency in the current digital media environment to eventise and spectacularise social life. This development serves the power-related pur…
Charlie Hebdo, 2015
In this article, the authors examine the intensification of liveness and its effects in the Charlie Hebdo attacks that took place in Paris in January 2015. In their investigation they first re-visit the existing theoretical literature on media, event and time, and discuss in particular the relationship between media events and the idea of liveness. They then move on to the empirical analysis of the Charlie Hebdo attacks and demonstrate the aspect…
Hybrid Media Events
What are hybrid media events? And how do these events shape our lives in the present digital age? This book addresses these questions by explaining how terrorist violence makes global events. The empirical analyses are based on the case of Charlie Hebdo attacks in 2015 and the global circulation of solidarities and anger connected with the attacks
JeSuisCharlie
This article suggests a new methodological model for the study of hybrid media events with global appeal. This model, developed in the project on the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, was created specifically for researching digital media—and in particular, Twitter. The article is structured as follows. Firstly, the methodological scope is discussed against the theoretical context, e.g. the theory of media events. In the theoretical discussion…
Broadcast Yourself-Global News! A Netnography of the “Flotilla” News on YouTube
In this article, YouTube is examined as an evolving news medium in the context of global journalism. The article examines what the news is made of and YouTube's distinctive features as an emerging news culture and style. The article is based on netnography, in which the construction and circulation of a news story have been tracked by tracing the so-called “flotilla” news event. It is found that YouTube promotes visually motivated, amateur-driven…
Imagining globalised fears
In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the concept of circulation in the field of anthropology. This article aims at elaborating the idea of circulation, namely, in the context of media anthropology. We illuminate the workings of circulation by illustrating how violent media images travel on YouTube and how video clips contribute to the formation and reformation of globalised social imaginaries of violence. Special attention is g…
