This book examines the visual-sexual turn in social media
discourses in the field of online activism with a particular focus
on the extraordinary protest years of 2018-2020. Presenting a
socially engaged theory of "tit-for-tat media" and including
case-studies on activist movements such as the Euro-American
alt-right, the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, and
revolutionary artists in China, this study reveals how visual
cultures, including gendered or sexualized imagery, are utilized to
influence public perception. By presenting in-depth explorations of
online ethnography, interviews with activists and studies of the
political histories and urban protests-environments, the volume
uncovers how local artists, netizens and citizens are using media
and digital imagery in contemporary activism. Covering a broad
spectrum of social media content, from hyper-cute manga and
cartoons to satirical pornography and sexualized hate-speech, it
will be of huge interest to students and scholars of media and
communication studies, political communication, sexuality and
gender studies.
