[Air-L] Message for the Commlist: Open access book announcement: Visual Citizenship. Communicating political opinions and emotions on social media

[cbouko]

Dear AoIR members,


I am delighted to announce the publication of my new open access book that
may be of interest to some of you and/or your students.


Visual Citizenship.
Communicating political opinions and emotions on social media

This book explores visual political engagement online – how citizens
participate in the dynamism of life in society by expressing their opinions
and emotions on various issues of democratic life in image-based social
media posts, independently of collective actions.

Looking beyond large digital social movements to focus on the everyday, the
book provides a well-documented and comprehensive framework of key notions,
concrete methods and examples of empirical insights into everyday visual
citizenship on social media. It shows how the visual has become ubiquitous
in citizens’ communication on social media, focusing on how citizens use
visual content to express their emotions and opinions on social media
platforms when they discuss politics in a large sense.

With this book, every reader interested in political communication, visual
communication and/or new media is fully equipped to analyse everyday visual
citizenship on social media platforms.
