Hello all, I'm happy to announce that my new book Fragmented Narrative: Telling and interpreting stories in the Twitter age is now available from Routledge - https://www.routledge.com/Fragmented-Narrative-Telling-and-Interpreting-Stor.... It starts from the premise that a key change in communication over the last couple of decades been a shift to very small units, exemplified by Twitter and its 280-character limit on individual posts. Consequently, highly fragmented communication has become the norm in many contexts. Fragmented Narrative sets out to explore the production and reception of fragmentary stories, analysing the Twitter-based narrative practices of Donald Trump, the Spanish political movement Podemos, and Egyptian activists writing in the context of the 2013 military intervention in Egypt. Drawing on narrative theory and hermeneutics, it's central argument is that narrative remains a vital means for understanding, allowing fragmentary content to be grasped together as part of significant wholes. Using Heideggerian ontology, it proposes that our capacity to do this is grounded in the centrality of narrative to human existence itself. The book strives to provide a new way of thinking about the interpretation of fragmentary information, applicable both to social media and beyond. If you're interested, I've also written a thread breaking things down chapter by chapter - https://twitter.com/Neil_Sadler/status/1420769556797304833.
