"It's Not About Laziness, It's About Efficiency"
This study explores how youth discuss generative artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education contexts on TikTok. Through a qualitative analysis of 980 TikTok posts and their associated comments, we identify three key themes: (1) the commercialization of AI tools on TikTok through peer-to-peer marketing strategies, (2) platform-mediated moral contestations around AI ethics and the purpose of higher education, and (3) the emergence of new form…
Methods as horizons of possibility
Possibility Studies calls for methodological innovation to capture dynamic, future-oriented phenomena often overlooked by traditional approaches. This editorial reflects on the need for flexible, participatory methods capable of tracing how horizons of possibility expand, contract and evolve across different contexts. We introduce Horizons of Possibility Estimation (HOPE), a method designed to map the perspectives, positions and dialogues that sh…
The possibility paradox
As we turn more and more to technology to solve the problems it has created – from misinformation to climate change – it is crucial to understand how innovations can both expand the possible and contract it. In this editorial, I first outline how technological advances increase what is possible, probable and feasible, and our sense of it, through four main processes: (1) Expanding what is possible, (2) broadening our sense of what could be, (3) m…
Multi-Resolution Design
A recent challenge is how to mix qualitative interpretation with computational techniques to analyze big qualitative data. To this end, we propose “multi-resolution design” for mixed method analysis of the same data : qualitative analysis zooms-in to provide in-depth contextual insight and quantitative analysis zooms-out to provide measures, associations, and statistical models. The raw qualitative data is transformed between excerpts, counts, an…
Pragmatism and Methodology
Taking a pragmatist approach to methods and methodology that fosters meaningful, impactful, and ethical research, this book rises to the challenge of today's data revolution. It shows how pragmatism can turn challenges, such as the abundance and accumulation of big qualitative data, into opportunities. The authors summarize the pragmatist approach to different aspects of research, from epistemology, theory, and questions to ethics, as well as dat…
Mimetic representations of the Covid-19 pandemic
Internet Memes as Partial Stories
This article advances a narrative approach to internet memes conceptualized as partial stories that reflect, capture, and contribute to wider storylines. One key difficulty in studying memes as stories rests in the fact that narrative analysis often focuses on plot at the expense of roles and characters. Building on narrative psychology and, in particular, transactional and linguistic types of analysis, we propose a typology of character roles-Pe…
Social Thinking and History
Social Thinking and History demonstrates that our representations of history are constructed through complex psychosocial processes in interaction with multiple others, and that they evolve throughout our lifetime, playing an important role in our relation to our social environment. Building on the literature on social thinking, collective memory, and sociocultural psychology, this book proposes a new perspective on how we understand and use our …
Malevolent Creativity and Social Media
This paper examines the role played by malevolent linguistic creativity in the generation and maintenance of anti-immigration communities on Twitter. In order to understand this phenomenon, we combined data science and qualitative techniques for the analysis of 112,789 pro- and anti-immigration tweets with a focus on their hashtags. Our analysis pointed to the fact that anti-immigration users on this social media platform have a distinct behavior…
Creativity, Learning and Technology
This special edition is dedicated to the complex relationship between creativity, learning, and technology. In the present editorial, we consider this complexity in light of the papers included in this special issue, by summarizing their main ideas and connecting them to bigger questions surrounding the impact of technology on creativity and learning. Some of the questions raised in this editorial and issue include: What is the connection between…
Uses of the Past
Taking the perspective of others
Imagining Collective Futures
Making Sense of Refugees Online
There are many dimensions to the ongoing European refugee crisis, including economic, political, and humanitarian. Underlying them, however, is the issue of self-other relations and, in particular, the ways in which Western societies imagine others and otherness, defined in cultural, religious, and political terms. At the core of this political imagination, we propose, are certain understandings of refugees, of how they think, feel, and intend to…
Collective memory and social sciences in the post-truth era
The past has never been as relevant for the present as it is in today's Post-truth world.Not just because many of our political leaders are promising to bring us back to a past that never existed -the Great America of Trump, the Lost Empire of Farage or the French Resistance of Le Pen -but because it seems more and more likely that they are bringing us back to the past as it actually happened -a past where populism successfully brought nationalis…
Personal trajectories, collective memories
How do we understand the broad history to which we belong? What meaning do we give to it and what role does it have in our lives? This paper proposes to approach collective memory from the perspective of the subject, adopting a developmental perspective to explore how people build specific relations and representations of the historical past. Building on the literature on collective remembering and on life-course studies, it conceptualises memory…
I would rather be hanged than agree with you
This paper explores the meaning attributed to the national group as an entry point into how boundaries between the in-group and the out-group are formed. To do so, it focuses on the representation of the past of the group, taken as a symbolic resource able to produce a raison d'être for national groups, and does so within a dialogical framework. Using the transcripts of the French parliamentary debates on immigration from 2006, it proposes a qual…
