Title: | Everyday networked activism in Hong Kong's umbrella movement : expanding on contemporary practice theory to understand activist digital media usages | Authors: | Ting, TY | Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | International journal of communication, 2019, , v. 13, p. 3250-3268 | Abstract: | This article shifts attention from elite actors' Internet uses to self-joining citizens' everyday networked activism at the grassroots. Stepping beyond conventional technocentric accounts, it expands on contemporary practice theory to examine the role of digital media in recent movement protests, focusing on their embeddedness and (re)productiveness in everyday practices. Based on the case of Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement, this article investigates the ways in which activist digital media usages were enacted and retained as part of people's daily routines, work patterns, and habitual activists. It presents qualitative findings to explicate how, through the reworking of mundane routines with digital media, the ordinary engaged in everyday networked activism traversing quotidian activities and movement participation. By situating activist media in the increasingly mediated mundane, this article offers insights into the emergence and expansion of contemporary networked activism and reveals the nuanced interplay between contentious politics and everyday life therein. | Keywords: | Networked activism Digital media Everyday life Hong Kong Social movement Practice theory |
