[Commlist] new book: Visual Citizenship: Communicating political opinions and emotions on social media

Catherine Bouko is delighted to announce the publication of the new open 
access book "Visual Citizenship. Communicating political opinions and 
emotions on social media"

This book explores visual political engagement online – how citizens 
participate in the dynamism of life in society by expressing their 
opinions and emotions on various issues of democratic life in 
image-based social media posts, independently of collective actions.

Looking beyond large digital social movements to focus on the everyday, 
the book provides a well-documented and comprehensive framework of key 
notions, concrete methods and examples of empirical insights into 
everyday visual citizenship on social media. It shows how the visual has 
become ubiquitous in citizens’ communication on social media, focusing 
on how citizens use visual content to express their emotions and 
opinions on social media platforms when they discuss politics in a large 
sense.

With this book, every reader interested in political communication, 
visual communication and/or new media is fully equipped to analyse 
everyday visual citizenship on social media platforms.
