最近发生的与警察暴行有关的事件和#黑人的生命也很重要#的演变为探索社交媒体数据对社会运动和集体身份演变的活力提供了一个实证案例。社交媒体数据为我们提供了一个门户,让我们了解组织和交流是如何产生经久不衰的叙事的。我们分析了四个有意义的时间段内关于弗格森的3165万条推文:迈克尔·布朗之死,达伦·威尔逊警官未被起诉,司法部关于弗格森的报告,以及布朗之死后的一年。我们的分析显示,#黑人的生命也很重要#是与现场发生的反对警察暴行的抗议活动同步发展起来的。我们还展示了#TCOT(推特上的顶级保守派)是如何作为#黑人生命很重要#的主要反叙事运作的。最后,我们讨论了我们的研究对#黑人的生命也很重要运动和唐纳德·特朗普当选后加剧的政治两极分化的影响。
ABSTRACT Recent events related to police brutality and the evolution of #BlackLivesMatter provides an empirical case to explore the vitality of social media data for social movements and the evolution of collective identities. Social media data provide a portal into how organizing and communicating generate narratives that survive over time. We analyse 31.65 million tweets about Ferguson across four meaningful time periods: the death of Michael Brown, the non-indictment of police officer Darren Wilson, the Department of Justice report on Ferguson, and the one year aftermath of Brown’s death. Our analysis shows that #BlackLivesMatter evolved in concert with protests opposing police brutality occurring on the ground. We also show how #TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) has operated as the primary counter narrative to #BlackLivesMatter. We conclude by discussing the implications our research has for the #BlackLivesMatter movement and increased political polarization following the election of Donald Trump.
