Investigating the relationship between social movements and internet-related activism during complex campaigns, this book examines how a technological evolution - the increased relevance of social media platforms - affected in very different ways organisations with divergent characteristics, promoting at the same time decentralised communication practices, and new ways of coordinating dispersed communities of people.0Matteo Cernison combines and adapts a wide set of methods, from social network analysis to digital ethnography, in order to explore in detail how digital activism and face-to-face initiatives interact and overlap. He argues that the geographical scale of actions, the role played by external media professionals, and the activists' perceptions of digital technologies are key elements that contribute in a significant way to shape the very different communication practices often described as online activism. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 29, 2019). 650 0 Internet and activism|zItaly. 650 0 Social media|xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Water-supply|zItaly. 650 0 Privatization|zItaly. 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Essays.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / National.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Reference.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 Internet and activism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01894149 650 7 Privatization.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01077649 650 7 Social media|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01983657 650 7 Water-supply.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01172350 651 7 Italy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204565 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCERNISON, MATTEO.|tSOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVISM.|d[Place of publication not identified], AMSTERDAM University PRES, 2019|z9462980063 |w(OCoLC)1061311904 830 0 Protest and social movements. 914 on1085542505 994 92|bCKE
