"As individuals incorporate new forms of media into their daily routines, these media transform individuals' engagement with networks of heterogeneous actors. Using the concept of media practices, this volume looks at processes of social and political transformation in diverse regions of the world to argue that media change and social change converge on a redefinition of the relations of individuals to larger collective bodies. To this end, contributors examine new collective actors emerging in the public arena through digital media or established actors adjusting to a diversified communication environment. The book offers an important contribution to a vibrant, transdisciplinary, and international field of research emerging at the intersections of communication, performance and social movement studies."--Provided by publisher.

The Covid-19 pandemic reveals and exacerbates inequalities in various ways. Gender inequalities - intertwined with intersectional differences along class, ethnicity, or origin - are highly visible. Legacy and social media around the world cover and perform these issues as much as they conceal them. On the one hand, they have the ability to give those affected a voice and to intervene in public discourse. On the other hand, they reproduce stereotypes and imbalances and rely on gendered (infra)structures. This thematic issue explores the entanglement between empowering and restricting forms of media discourse and media practices. Ten contributions from different world regions, which analyze various media, and involve diverse methodological approaches, make visible reproductions of established power structures as well as new visibilities and counter-practices of marginalized groups. In sum, they generate a complex body of knowledge about global and local inequalities and the ramifications of the pandemic in and through media.

This article analyses the changed structures, actors and modes of communication that characterise 'dissonant public spheres.' With the #120decibel campaign by the German Identitarian Movement in 2018, gender and migration were pitched in a racist tune, absorbing feminist concerns and positions into neo-nationalistic, misogynist and xenophobic propaganda. The article examines the case of #120decibel as an instance of 'affective publics' (Lünenborg, 2019a) where forms of feminist protest and emancipatory hashtag activism are absorbed by anti-migration campaigners. Employing the infrastructure and network logics of social media platforms, the campaign gained public exposure and sought political legitimacy through strategies of dissonance, in which a racial solidarity against the liberal state order was formed. Parallel structures of networking and echo-chamber amplification were established, where right-wing media articulate fringe positions in an attempt to protect the rights of white women to be safe in public spaces. #120decibel is analysed and discussed here as characteristic of the ambivalent role and dynamics of affective publics in societies challenged by an increasing number of actors forming an alliance on anti-migration issues based on questionable feminist positions.

Verhilft die Boulevardpresse queeren Deutungen zur Repräsentation in der dominanzgesellschaftlichen Kultur? Am Beispiel von »Bild« und »Hürriyet« zeigt Yener Bayramoglu, wie boulevardjournalistische Versuche, normabweichende sexuelle Subjekte zu skandalisieren, queere Positionen sichtbar machen. Durch seine historisch-komparative Analyse verliert die oft wiederholte Dichotomie von Okzident und Orient ihre Bedeutung: Während eine Pluralität von queeren Repräsentationen in der »Hürriyet« offen zu beobachten ist, ist der deutsche Kontext von falschen Repräsentationen, verzerrten Stimmen sowie großen Lücken auf Grund von Nicht-Repräsentation gekennzeichnet.
