Affective Publics: Sentiment, Technology, and Politics - Oxford Studies in Digital Politics
Papacharissi, Zizi (Professor and Head, Professor and Head, Department of Communication, University of Illinois-Chicago)
Digital technologies network us but it is our stories that connect us to each other, making us feel close to some and distancing us from others. Affective Publics explores how storytelling practices on Twitter facilitate affective engagement for publics tuning into a current issue or event by employing three case studies: Arab Spring movements, various iterations of Occupy, and everyday casual political expressions as traced through the archives of trendingtopics on Twitter.
