Watch this space and in the meantime l am going to post some of our articles on anti-lockdown protests: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
The movement consists of liberals, socialists, old Labour, anarchists and the far-right. Notably absent from the protests are new Labour and Tories. You can find a link to the AFP story below (the same story is published across many global news outlets). If you’re interested in Digital ID protests +
I clarified that the Digital ID (and anti-lockdown) protests cannot be reduced to the far-right. Certainly Reform UK are visible in the physical protests and on Telegram and they aim to capitalise on these protests but my research shows that the movement spans a wide range of political views. +
1/7 l recently provided evidence to @en.afp.com on the identity of Digital ID protesters in the UK based on my ongoing fieldwork. I published research on similar protests that rest on collective notions of distrust, such as the anti-lockdown protests in 2020-21. In my interview with Anna Malpas +
Using interviews and participant observation, we examined the emotions of anti-lockdown protesters towards news, information and misinformation sources and the political elite while exploring conspiracy coalitions in the protests and the larger affective anti-lockdown atmosphere.
📢I'm happy to share our new publication entitled '“Media is absolutely disgusting”: Emotions and affect towards political elites, information sources and conspiracy theories in anti-lockdown protests' in Emotion, Space and Society with @billuraslanozgul.bsky.social & Bogdan Ianosev (1/2)

💥Can we still talk about identity performance on social media?💥 Hannah Ditchfield and I say yes! We explored #TikTok content about #hereditarycancer and found 3 types of identity work 👇. Part of @leverhulme.ac.uk - funded Previvorship (bit.ly/3MpCAAs), out in Social Media+Society: shorturl.at/4BV23
📢 Happy that our article with Bogdan Ianosev and Billur Aslan Ozgul is out, examining the centrality of Manichaeism and conspiracy theories for populism and populist social movements and their organic emergence with populist storytelling in anti-lockdown protests: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
From @brunelcce.bsky.social [2023]: "findings highlight mundane online expressions on TikTok that reinforce notions of a shared idealised identity built on nostalgic reinterpretations of an imperial past, which contribute to mainstreaming of far-right ideologies" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
"Visual images are inherently political and are key sites for the negotiation, consolidation, and naturalisation of major cultural narratives and social norms underpinning collective identities of radicalised groups." by @ozgeozduzen.bsky.social & Nelli Ferenczi & Isabel Holmes
