[...]
The growth of the internet and social media have radically changed not only how we produce, consume, and disseminate information, but also the ways we communicate and interact with each other. The influence of tech- nology has extended beyond the confines of cyberspace and has shaped various aspects of our real lives. Consequently, it adds complexity and poses new challenges to our already complex way of life. Many of ...]]></description>

Framing Bouazizi: ‘White lies’, hybrid network, and collective/connective action in the 2010–11 Tunisian uprising

by Merlyna Lim, Arizona State University
cited as:  Lim, M. (2013)  Framing Bouazizi: &#8216;White lies&#8217;, hybrid network, and collective/connective action in the 2010–11 Tunisian uprising, Journalism: Theory, Praxis, and Criticism, doi:10.1177/1464884913478359
Abstract
By delving into the detailed account of the Tunisian uprising, this article offers an explanation that sets the 2010 uprising apart from its precursors. The 2010 uprising was successful because activists successfully managed to bridge geographical and class divides ...]]></description>

I would like to share my newly published article:
Lim, M. 2013, Many Clicks but Little Sticks: Social Media Activism in Indonesia, Journal of Contemporary Asia, DOI:10.1080/00472336.2013.769386
To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00472336.2013.769386
Drawing on empirical cases from Indonesia, this article offers a critical approach to the promise of social media activism by analysing the complexity and dynamics of the relationship between social media and its users. Rather than viewing social media activism as the harbinger of social change or dismissing it as mere “slacktivism,” the article provides a more nuanced argument by identifying the ...]]></description>

Here are some quotes I wrote in 2012.
On trashing: In today&#8217;s world people don&#8217;t throw trash away. They make it to tv shows, facebook status updates, and twitter.
On knowing: i am too old to feel that i know nothing, yet too young to claim that i know everything. i think i know a little more than nothing, a little less than people think i know, way less than i think i need to know, and yet perhaps way too much than what really need to know to just live in.

‎&#8221;What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth. The belief that our destiny is shared; that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations. The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights. And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That&#8217;s what makes America great&#8221; (Obama, 7 Nov 2012).
Beyond the election itself, echoing Howard Fineman, I agree that today&#8217;s result &#8220;signaled ...]]></description>

&#8220;&#8230; In grappling with multiple identities and multiple realities, the reality of everyday life is experienced as reality par excellence.  Micro narratives that are closer to the everyday life experience are embraced more openly, resulting in the plurality of voices, allowing for differences, nuances, and even counter-hegemonic voices. The closer to home the issue resonates, the more conversations take place. Life is local, even in the global blogosphere.&#8221;
This paragraph is quoted from my newest publication, Lim, M (2012), Life Is Local in the Imagined Global Community: Islam and Politics in the Indonesian Blogosphere, ...]]></description>

Salah satu hal yang &#8216;meramaikan&#8217; Pilkada DKI Jakarta 2012 adalah penggunaan social media. Sejalan dengan penelitian saya tentang aspek sosial (termasuk politik dan budaya) media baru &#38; digital, saya bagikan data awal dari penelitian Social Media &#38; Pilkada DKI Jakarta 2012 di slide di bawah ini.
The Jakarta&#8217;s governor election (Pilkada DKI Jakarta) in 2012 is different for some distinctive reasons and deserve our (my attention). Inline with my research interests, I have been doing research on social media and this Pilkada. Below is the slideshow of my preliminary data.
