Posting this before I wake up: our project was funded by @KoneenSaatio ✨
With the greatest Heini Salminen and Emmi Holm, we will study how the social media norms of authenticity and 'bareness' impact the possibilities for political action among marginalised people.

We've had the help and support of so many people at the @sociologyofdemo; @EevaLuhtakallio and @veikkoeranti in particular. Thank you!
Also: I know SO many brilliant projects didn't get funding. It sucks, and it makes this day bitter sweet for us all.

🎭 #DemocraticTransformations No.5
Marginalised activists espouse ‘presentist identities’ to fight others' dismissiveness. Such identities do not assume a past or a future, but make us perceivable and free, writes @MeriTaina of @imagidem & @sociologyofdemo

Incel identities have undergone a remarkable transformation from diversity to exclusion. To prevent identities from becoming undemocratic, it requires attention to moderation techniques and social norms, argues @seejenspeak

🎭 #DemocraticTransformations No.4
Democracy needs to recognise & empower our multiple identities. @TheBrandonMack draws on his activist experience with #BlackLivesMatter to argue for intersectionality & diverse histories as the backbone of democracy #BLM

Iris Marion Young is wrongly identified with the politics of presence. Michaele Ferguson reads her work as part of the politics of becoming by focusing on structure rather than identity.

The Ranciérian concept of disidentification is purely discursive. To overcome this limitation, @profmoyalloyd puts forward a novel account of embodied disidentification, exemplified by the feminist Miss America protest of 1968.

Shameless self-promotion: new article out on selfies! 📸

After exploring the selfie-practices of youth with stigmatising experiences, I suggest we make sense of selfies as tools in self-coordination. A short 🧵1/7

And finally, there is 'the self as public critique', where the self is purposefully coordinated against the norms of how one ought to be. These are often selfies that seek to politicise by making visible something that ought to be hidden. 6/7
