***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Dear Socnetters, I am interested in the role of social media & social networking sites in civic activism (rather than in electoral politics, though the border is admittedly fluid). I try to figure out how social media such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are being used by social movements, protests and contentious action around the globe. A while ago I asked the list members to send me references concerning this topic and promised to publish the results of my inquiry through this list. I got very few replies but compiled a list of references anyhow. You will find it at the following address: http://www.mv.helsinki.fi/lonkila/SNS_and_activism_23032012.docx When browsing through the list please note: - The list is by no means complete and may also contain ‘irrelevant’ references - I haven’t had time to check the correctness/ completeness of the references or links - The list may also contain non-scientific journals I hope that it will be of use to someone... Greetings to all socnetters from sunny Helsinki! with best regards (and my warmest thanks to those who replied) Markku Lonkila -- Adjunct Professor Department of Social Sciences University of Helsinki Homepage: http://blogs.helsinki.fi/lonkila/ _____________________________________________________________________ SOCNET is a service of INSNA, the professional association for social network researchers (http://www.insna.org).
