In The Context Of His Argument, Featherman Also Considers Current Debates Surrounding The Role That Technologies Play In Democracy-building And Global Activist Networks. He Engages These Critical Issues Through A Case Study Of The 2009 Iranian Presidential Election Protests, Looking At Both Us Legacy Media Coverage Of The Protests As Well As Activists' Use Of Social Media. Through Qualitative Analysis Of A Corpus Of Activists' Twitter Tweets And Flickr Uploads, Featherman Argues That Activists' Social Media Discourses And Protesters' Symbolic And Tactical Borrowing Of Global English Contribute To Micronarratives Of Globalization, While Also Calling Into Question Master Narratives About Iran Commonly Found In Mainstream Western Media Accounts.
