Many black Americans turned to their digital and social media networks to circulate information, cultivate solidarity, and organize during that tumultuous moment. While Ferguson and the subsequent protests made black digital networks visible to mainstream media, these networks did not coalesce overnight. They were built and maintained over years through common, everyday use. Beyond Hashtags explores these everyday practices and their relationship to larger social issues through an in-depth analysis of a trans-platform network of black American digital and social media users and content creators. In the crucial years leading up to the emergence of the Movement for Black Lives, black Americans used digital networks not only to cope with day-to-day experiences of racism, but also as an incubator for the debates that have since exploded onto the national stage. Beyond Hashtags tells the story of an influential subsection of these networks, an assemblage of podcasting, independent media, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, and the network of Twitter users that has come to be known as "Black Twitter." Florini looks at how black Americans use these technologies often simultaneously to create a space to reassert their racial identities, forge community, organize politically, and create alternative media representations and news sources. Beyond Hashtags demonstrates how much insight marginalized users have into technology. --Résumé de l'éditeur.Critical cultural communication ;19Race in mass mediafast(OCoLC)fst01930803African Americans and mass mediafast(OCoLC)fst00799719African American mass mediafast(OCoLC)fst00799230Race dans les médiasMédias noirs américainsNoirs américains et médiasRace in mass mediaAfrican American mass mediaAfrican Americans and mass media2016 US presidential election.Black Lives Matter.Black Twitter.Black cultural production.Black enclaves.Black innovation.Black social spaces.Ferguson.Martin Luther King Jr.Mike Brown.This Week in Blackness.Trayvon Martin.Zimmerman.affordances.alternative media production.anti-Black racism.citizen journalism.collective grieving.colorblindness.counterpublics.digital technology.historical narrative.independent media production.mainstream legacy media.media narratives.monetization.neoliberal.neoliberalism.oscillating networked publics.podcasts.police brutality.political engagement.political establishment.racial discourse.racial landscape.racial oppression.social justice.solidarity.transplatform.white supremacy.Race in mass media.African Americans and mass media.African American mass media.Race dans les médias.Médias noirs américains.Noirs américains et médias.Race in mass media.African American mass media.African Americans and mass media.302.23089/96073AP 15965rvkFlorini Sarah1266004MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996571852303316Beyond hashtags2968450UNISA
