Abstract [en]

This  paper  discusses  the  relations  of  power  in  connection with  the  use  of  social  media  among  middle-class  activists  in southern Stockholm. The  method  for  studying  these  activists is   both   ethno-   and   nethnographic,   through   participant observations  and  interviews  both  online  and  offline.  The theoretical  framework  is  based  on  late  modern  theories  of reflexive  identity  negotiation  and  Foucauldian  theories  of visibility  and  power.

The paper locates relations of power in the constant monitoring, supervision and negotiation of both ones own and others’ identity on social media platforms. This increasing  importance  of  being  updated  in  network  societies will  be  discussed  as  a  form  of  network  logic. 

Hence, social media usage has not only been about enabling participation of activists in southern Stockholm, but also about disciplining them to be kept updated, which in turn pushes them towards participating in offline activities too.
