Hosting refugees is the most rewarding experience
This study explores positive migrant storytelling in non-governmental organizations' advocacy campaigns. We focus on the practices and implications of leveraging storytelling towards charity organizations' institutional goals. Drawing upon critical discourse studies and narrative studies, we propose a critical storytelling approach that pays attention to the specific nature of storytelling as a discourse practice in itself. We focus on a UNHCR hu…
Taking a break from social media
Despite the continued drive for sharing the self online, social media users have been increasingly orienting to practices of ‘not sharing’ in the context of wider debates about digital wellbeing. In this article, we investigate how celebrities manage and navigate online sharing. We focus on media ideologies in social media posts that announce the celebrities' decision to ‘take a break’, i.e. to stop posting and/or engaging with social media conte…
Visual Small Stories of #Jesuisaylan
This article examines the circulation of Instagram posts using the hashtag#JeSuisAylan on the 3rd September 2015 as a reaction to the breaking news of threeyearold Alan Kurdi who drowned in the Mediterranean. Posts are analysed as visualsmall stories (Georgakopoulou 2016) and coded for types of story frames, which helpto clarify users’ participation patterns (De Fina 2016). Findings indicate thatparticipation to this shared story involves acts of…
Mobilizing Stories of Illness in Digital Contexts
Illness stories have been celebrated as a resource for giving patients voice from the active position of the wounded storyteller. The proliferating research on illness stories, however, has often reproduced a reductionist approach to narrative as a window to subjective views and experiences based on a largely underdeveloped and essentialized notion of voice. Critics of the over-celebration of narrative have called for caution toward the use of pe…
Mobilizing Grief and Remembrance with and for Networked Publics
The past decade has seen an intense mobilization of grief and remembrance on social media linked to the injunction to inscribe, share, and curate life and death in the here-and-now. This article navigates the heterogeneity of these practices, using the term hyper-mourning to point both to the conditioning of mourning by the affordances of hyper-connectivity and to debates around these emerging forms of mourning as being emotionally hyperbolic and…
Life After Life

Taboo or Not Taboo
The notion that ‘death is a taboo’ pervades private, public and academic discourses around death, dying and bereavement in contemporary Western societies. The rise of digital media within the last decades further complicates the appreciation of the stance that death is a taboo, given the increased opportunities afforded in social media environments for embracing death, fostering new intimacies with strangers and semi-strangers but also for turnin…
Mediatization of Emotion on Social Media
This article provides the theoretical background for this Special Issue which explores the mediatization of emotion on social media as attested in different digital mourning practices. The overview discusses the affective and emotional turn alongside the mediatic turn in relation to key trends and foci in the study of affect/emotion. Our discussion points to a shift in conceptualizations of affect/emotion from mediated to mediatized practice, emb…
Reflections on internet research ethics from language-focused research on web-based mourning
The present article addresses ethical issues and tensions that have arisen in the context of language-focused research on web-based mourning. It renders explicit the process of ethical decision-making in research practice, illustrating key aspects of a process approach to research ethics, which calls for reflection on ethical issues as an integral and dynamic part of the project (Markham and Buchanan 2015. Ethical considerations in digital resear…
