In this article I operationalize the term “virtue signaling”, a term generally pejoratively used towards people’s
assertions of values on social media platforms, as “moral-political stancetaking”, an activity that is actually quite common on-
and offline and that works to exert peer pressure toward onlookers and addressees so that they will adopt certain values. Using
analytical frameworks of small stories and stance, I examine a narrative sequence from one political activist, demonstrating how
she situates long-term aspects of her biography in relation to present moral-political crises in order to make assertions that
culminate in the construction of a moral-political framework for the progressive grassroots organizations that she leads. Through
this analysis I assert that the notion of virtue signaling, while new to the social media era, fits well within repertoires of
communicative behavior that long pre-date the rise of social media.
期刊介绍:
Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
