The massive arrival of ICT in the domain of politics, though use of the internet, blogs and mainstream social media (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flick’r...) or dedicated specialist tools (activist management platforms or specialised social networks) has impacted governance, relationships between citizens, political figures and the media, and more generally the way people “do politics”, in many countries around the world.
Some research themes in this area:
• Politicians’ digital/cross-media communication strategies
• Political parties’ use of social media
• “Politics 2.0” campaign strategies
• Political discourse in the age of social media : soundbites and retweets
• Private lives of public figures on social networks
• The multimodal dimension of online political communication
• Interactions between politicians and the media on the social networks
• Social media and transparency in politics
• Online political debates involving politicians, citizens and activists
• E-citizenship and direct democracy
• Minority political representation through social networks
• “Technoscapes”, diasporas and politics
• “Virtual” political parties
• Social media as catalysts of political involvement
• Social networks, politics and young people
