Abstract

The article aims to examine the uses of social media by social mobilisation and their transition towards social movements. Based on a multiple case study of recent social mobilisations, a discourse analysis was conducted to compare uses of social media in the narratives associated with these social mobilisations. Three main dimensions were analysed: 1) references to democracy, in particular criticisms of representative democracy and proposals for alternatives; 2) comments on the role of social media in social mobilisation and its development; and 3) reflections on tensions between online and offline actions as part of collective action.
