Beskrivning
This book examines the ways that political agency can be understood in digitally dominated media environments. Kramer shows how emotional work on the online-active self is both culturally and institutionally embedded. Filling a gap in the scholarship on the affective conditions of agency, this book conceptualizes political agency online through case studies that center on the creativity of—and difficulties faced by—Indian Muslims who run popular handles on social networking sites. The book will appeal to scholars and students interested in affect and emotion, digital and political ethics, media anthropology, South Asian studies, mediation and Muslim politics in India.

Recensioner i media

“The first ethnography of social media identity and politics in India, this pathbreaking study allows us a fresh new perspective on the transformation of debate and activism in a new digital world.”Faisal Devji, University of Oxford, UK“In this fascinating study of Indian Muslim online activism, Max Kramer takes us way beyond the usual pieties and polemics about ramped-up affects and endangered civility. Instead, he gives us a meditation, at once subtle and stinging, on the problem of cultivating ethical subjectivity, and thus also livable visibility, in and through a medium that invites marginalized actors to inhabit postures and registers of infamy. This is, in a deep sense, a book about India today. But it is also an invaluable and provocative contribution to debates about democratic activism in an authoritarian age.”William Mazzarella, University of Chicago, USA
