معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In contemporary U.S. politics, anger is a potent force that cements new communities even as it fractures others. In this presentation. Dr. Griffin looks at social media content that circulated during and after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election in order to parse out the relationships it forges between gender, activism, and political culture online.
First, Dr. Hollis examines "Biden memes," which use imagined text and images of former Vice President Biden as a humorous way to express leftist anger. Second, he examines a meme created by writer and performer Amanda Duarte and "Feminist Fight Club" author Jessica Bennett. This meme gives voice to a sex-specific form of anger directed at comments made by then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump on the campaign trail. While both memes feature ideas about anger and gender, their difference in tone - one humorous, one not - suggests different relationships to time.
Dr. Griffin's research questions reside in that difference. How do we understand the anger about politics that circulates on social media in relation to cultural mores regarding sex and gender? How does anger operate as a motivating force for activism? How does the intensity of anger relate to the sustainability of active efforts? Finally, what does the circulation of anger on social media tell us about gender and U.S. politics more generally?
