This article takes up these two positions, investigating the way social media facilitates affective connections between climate and other global risks. Using Twitter data from three global events – Covid, the 2020 U.S. presidential race, and the Russia–Ukraine war – the study examines how users connect climate change to each event. Placing these discussions in the context of online issue publics and ecocriticism, the paper examines the way users employ affect to connect these events to climate change. The paper uses a quantitatively driven qualitative approach, combining computational methods with a thematic analysis of affective expressions. Interestingly, sentiment was not universally negative, and the qualitative findings further suggest that users combine emotions in contradictory ways, expressed through the themes Weary Zealotry, The Hope–Disgust Dialectic, Climate as Proto-Disaster, Idiots and Enemies, and Global Solidarity. It is argued that a modified version of Beck’s ‘imagined communities of global risk’ provides a framework for the role of affect in people’s relationship to climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":79211,"journal":{"name":"Continuum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50167105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper sets out the history of this evolution and the societal context in which ‘wog’ humour was invented in a uniquely ‘Australian’ way. Many of the cultural texts that make up the wog phenomenon have centred on themes of work and labour – from the original Wogs Out of Work to Pizza and Housos.

This article sets out to understand media activism in Ireland, especially by those who are campaigning for greater participation and better representation in the Irish media industry. While tools, measures and policies have been developed at varying levels within the media industry to improve Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), often these engagements with EDI issues do not directly speak to communities themselves. To that end, this article seeks to address this gap, setting out to understand media activism in Ireland through semi-structured interviews with 17 media activists from varying minoritized groups. The article is structured around four central themes: (i) problems identified, (ii) representation versus participation, (iii) possible changes and improvements and (iv) positioning for changes in the future. From these findings, the article makes two central recommendations: on the one hand, the development of policies regarding EDI must include the voices of the communities directly affected and on the other hand, media activists from minority or disenfranchised groups need to be considered as voices of authority on matters pertaining to them.</p>","PeriodicalId":79211,"journal":{"name":"Continuum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50167107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
