[AIR] Methodology for research on hashtag and collective action?
Hello everyone, I am leading a research entitled 'Hashtags and collective action in Côte d'Ivoire'. Côte d'Ivoire is a western African countries where a lot of young people are very active on social media. The purpose of the study is to understand: * how people create some hashtags? * how they appropriate them? * what could the appropriation of any hashtags influence media and policy agenda? According to you, what methodology or literature could be useful for me in this research? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hello Emmanuel: In my research in this area, I think starting with the following book by Paolo Gerbaudo about the use of social media, and in particular Twitter, for social justice movements and activism, would be a great idea. It is excellent: *Tweets and the Streets: Social Media and Contemporary Activism* Paolo Gerbaudo, Pluto Press ©2012 ISBN:074533248X 9780745332482 ****** Another potentially helpful article because it addresses collective social media behavior although it examines issues not quite of your interest necessarily. However, the main concepts and some of the sources cited in the research may prove very useful to you as well.

Hi Emmanuel, Your research sounds really fascinating. Another book I would recommend is Tufekci’s Twitter and Tear Gas which looks at networked protests on Twitter. You could also look at Castell’s work on the networked society. And while I detest promoting my own work, I do have a book coming out in the next few days, “Constructing Digital Cultures: Tweets, Trends, Race, and Gender”, which presents a qualitative analysis of how people use Twitter to construct meaning, interact with each other, (re)create and appropriate meaning (including hashtags). You may find it useful as well. Good luck on your research!

Ciao Emmanuel, you can find useful things also the social movement studies literature. to ground my empirical work i also made several times state of the art, which i think you can lean on (sorry for self-promotion ... let's take this as an occasion to get to know all of us more closely...) Pavan, Elena (2017). “The integrative power of online collective action networks beyond protest. Exploring social media use in the process of institutionalization”. Social Movement Studies vol 16(4): 433-446 [ISSN: 1474-2837]. Pavan, Elena. 2014. “Embedding Digital Communications within Collective Action Networks. A Multidimensional Network Approach”. Mobilization: An International Journal, 19(4):441-455 [ISSN: 1086-671X] Pavan, Elena. 2013. “Collective action and Web 2.0. An exploratory network analysis of Twitter use during campaigns”. Sociologica 3/2013. Bologna: Il Mulino [ISSN: 1971-8853]. hope this helps ciao e+ Il 09/11/2017 15:51, Yang, Guobin ha scritto:

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions, and thanks Emmanuel for asking this question. To ad just another layer of complexity to this question, I'd like to ask about data collection tools for facebook hashtags. I am already aware of netvizz, but it doesn't quite satisfy my current research needs. I would be interested on whether or not I can find a tool (or more, and combine them) to 1. find all the post with a certain # in a region (ideally also automatically store the number of reactions, comments, shares) and 2. map the social network between the posters based on the interactions at 1. Or maybe I'll just have to learn to code already :) Thank you, Alexandra Alexandra Florea PhD Candidate IPP Transnational Goethe University Frankfurt Find me on Twitter: @alleyah On 9 November 2017 at 15:15, Elena Pavan <elena.pavan@sns.it> wrote:
