Habermas, Mouffe and Political Communication : A case for theretical eclectisism
- 2008
-
In: Javnost-the public. ; 1:2, s. 203-221
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Much of the research on communication and democracy continues to lean on Jürgen Habermass work. However, many aspects of his approach have been intensely criticised in recent debates, both in communication studies and political theory. Habermass emphasis on rational consensus as the aim of public communication has particularly been problematised. One of the most prominent critics, Chantal Mouff e and her agonistic model of democracy, have increasingly drawn the interest of media scholars. Mouffe explicitly contrasts the dominant Habermasian concept of the public sphere, and it appears that her model is impossible to combine with the Habermasian approach. But how substantial are the diff erences? What are the disagreements centred on? And what are their consequences for empirical media and communication research? In this article we argue that rather than accepting the standard readings or polar positions accredited to the two, we need to retain a certain theoretical eclecticism in combining normative theories with empirical research. Despite their controversies, we argue that both Habermass and Mouff es theories have value as critical perspectives that help us refl ect on the ideals of democratic public communication

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The move to a variety of online environments has affected the ways in which journalism is produced, distributed, and consumed. Such transformations have had clear effects on journalism research. Specifically, these developments into what is sometimes labeled ‘liquid journalism’ have had repercussions for how scholars are able to access, accumulate, and analyze the online presences of, and traces made by, journalists and those citizens who consume their products.

Studying political microblogging : Twitter users in the 2010 Swedish election campaign
- 2012
-
In: New Media and Society. - : SAGE Publications. - 1461-4448 .- 1461-7315. ; 14:5, s. 729-747

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Among the many so-called microblogging services that allow their users to describe their current status in short posts, Twitter is probably among the most popular and well known. Since its launch in 2006, Twitter use has evolved and is increasingly used in a variety of contexts. This article utilizes emerging online tools and presents a rationale for data collection and analysis of Twitter users. The suggested approach is exemplified with a case study: Twitter use during the 2010 Swedish election. Although many of the initial hopes for e-democracy appear to have gone largely unfulfilled, the successful employment of the internet during the 2008 US presidential campaign has again raised voices claiming that the internet, and particularly social media applications like Twitter, provides interesting opportunities for online campaigning and deliberation. Besides providing an overarching analysis of how Twitter use was fashioned during the 2010 Swedish election campaign, this study identifies different user types based on how high-end users utilized the Twitter service. By suggesting a novel approach to the study of microblogging and by identifying user types, this study contributes to the burgeoning field of microblog research and gives specific insights into the practice of civic microblogging.
