In this monograph, Chris Featherman adopts a discourse analytical
approach to explore the ways in which social movement ideologies
and identities are discursively constructed in new and old media.
In the context of his argument, Featherman also considers current
debates surrounding the role that technologies play in
democracy-building and global activist networks. He engages these
critical issues through a case study of the 2009 Iranian
presidential election protests, looking at both US legacy media
coverage of the protests as well as activists' use of social media.
Through qualitative analysis of a corpus of activists' Twitter
tweets and Flickr uploads, Featherman argues that activists' social
media discourses and protesters' symbolic and tactical borrowing of
global English contribute to micronarratives of globalization,
while also calling into question master narratives about Iran
commonly found in mainstream Western media accounts. This volume
makes a timely contribution to discussions regarding the
relationship between cyber-rhetoric and democracy, and provides new
directions for researchers engaging with the influence of new media
on globalized vernaculars of English.
