Waarom gaan extreem-rechts en memecultuur zo goed samen? In deze nieuwe aflevering verwonderen ons met @hetsalwel.bsky.social over 4chan ondermediadoctoren.nl/afl-202-4chan/

New search engine scraper tool by @best.wel.moe and @digitalmethods.net! I added the feature to collect widgets from Google and Bing (it was a lot of work, please use it 😂). Feedback welcome.

we are hiring a PhD candidate for the project "Interface of Intelligence: How Generative AI Reshapes Knowledge, Media, and Interpretation"; details here: werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

Lots of new stuff!

Have to finish setting this up later but for now: new publication! Using the Birmingham School's subcultural theory to look at political compass memes, we attempt to theorize how "digital political subcultures" are refashioning political subjectivity www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Final paper of my PhD out! What a relief 😅

How do fears regarding a loss of agency persist in our networked condition? @ddzeeuw.bsky.social and Jernej Merkelj write about "agency panic" to reflect on the growing idea that online, everyone is controlled. They do so by analysing the NPC meme and the trope of the Internet addict. Read it here👇

"Twitter (now X)" or "X (formerly Twitter)"??

Jullie top songs staan op Spotify? Cute

"[Waarom geen] uitleg van een deskundige over dit gedachtegoed? Ze brengt het rechts-extremisme niet alleen ongefilterd maar ook met nauwelijks context en duiding." Doorgeefluikjournalistiek dus. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/...

Nog steeds aan het bijkomen van de race tussen Schier en Vlieland
