From selfies and memes to hashtags and parodies, social media are
used for mundane and personal expressions of political commentary,
engagement, and participation. The coverage of politics reflects
the social mediation of everyday life, where individual experiences
and thoughts are documented and shared online. In Social Media and
Everyday Politics, Tim Highfield examines political talk as
everyday occurrences on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, Tumblr,
Instagram, and more. He considers the personal and the political,
the serious and the silly, and the everyday within the
extraordinary, as politics arises from seemingly banal and
irreverent topics. The analysis features international examples and
evolving practices, from French blogs to Vines from Australia, via
the Arab Spring, Occupy, #jesuischarlie, Eurovision,
#blacklivesmatter, Everyday Sexism, and #illridewithyou. This
timely book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars
in media and communications, internet studies, and political
science, as well as general readers keen to understand our
contemporary media and political contexts
