This study examines how Jeremy uses X (formerly Twitter) to challenge entrenched neoliberal assumptions and how audiences respond to these interventions within a fragmented, algorithmically mediated digital environment. Drawing on Fairclough’s framework of naturalization and de-naturalization, and Blommaert’s concept of polycentric post-digital spaces, the article analyses a tweet by Corbyn that frames social problems not as individual failings but as systemic outcomes of contemporary .

Jeremy Corbyn utilises tweets as deliberate de-naturalising interventions that challenge neoliberal 'common sense'. He does so by framing inequality and poverty as structural outcomes of a 'rigged' neoliberal political-economic system rather than as the result of individual fa ...

What does it mean to inherit harm? In this episode of the Living Heritage, Making Culture podcast, artist and Askeaton Contemporary Arts director Michele Horrigan sits down with Katherine Huber and Stacey Copeland to discuss life beside Aughinish Alumina. From government cover-ups and "sacrifice zones" to a grassroots Natural Heritage Group restoring a polluted river and preserving the oral histories of an aging community, this episode focuses on the following question: when what we inherit is harm, what does it mean to preserve it—and who gets to tell that story?

Michele Horrigan's commitment and connection to the region give her unique insights into the local natural and cultural heritage and their histories. In the latest episode of Living Culture, Making Heritage, Horrigan discusses her motivation and process behind collecting and curating the Sti ...

Spotify’s personalized playlists, such as Discover Weekly, regularly appear to create uncanny emotional connections by aligning songs with listeners’ moods and experiences. This study explores how these moments exemplify a modern form of "the sublime", blending vast algorithmic complexity with intimate, tailored curation. Drawing on theories about the sublime developed by Burke and Kant, it examines how Spotify transforms its immense music library into deeply personal experiences, evoking awe and serendipity. While these playlists inspire connection and discovery, they also raise concerns about commodification, data privacy, and the authenticity of algorithmically mediated art. As such, this study reveals the dual role of platforms like as enablers of emotional resonance and agents of commercialization, reshaping the boundaries of art, emotion, and technology in the digital age.

Life often feels like a symphony of highs and lows, moments in which everything aligns perfectly or times when the world’s weight feels unbearable. In these emotional crescendos, we often reach for music, and with just a tap, Spotify steps in as a companion. You press play, and a song begins. S .....

In the summer of 2025, Dutch singer Douwe Bob refused to perform at a Jewish football tournament for children after objecting to the presence of pro-Israel materials. The national controversy that followed went far beyond music or sport, revealing how memory in the Netherlands can be used to police criticism of and silence dissenting voices.

When “Never Again” becomes a political weaponIn June 2025, Dutch singer Douwe Bob was invited to perform at the Jom Ha Voetbaltoernooi, a Jewish football tournament for children in Amsterdam. When he noticed Zionistic posters and flyers he refused to go on stage. He said: “I love the Jewish .....

This article analyzes how BoJack Horseman displays the collapse of public and private spheres within contemporary celebrity culture. Building on Habermas’ definition of the public sphere as “a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed,” it argues that the show depicts a media environment where private suffering becomes marketable public content.

In BoJack Horseman, the 2014 Netflix show that ran until 2020, moments of intimate suffering are never allowed to remain private. Addiction and trauma are immediately transformed into media narratives, consumed by an audience eager for confession, scandal, and redemption arcs (Mehta, 2016). What ...

How are artificial intelligence, compulsory , moral policing, family-law restrictions, and digital repression connected? This article demonstrates how the integration of into Iran’s longstanding system of gendered regulation consolidates ideological power. By tracing the historical trajectory of compulsory hijab, moral policing, family-law restrictions, and digital repression, it situates the current wave of algorithmic within a deeply rooted juridical and ideological framework.

Ideology has no history… it is lived, not thought, and it structures the very reality in which individuals live their everyday lives. (Althusser, 1970)IntroductionIt is difficult to imagine a worse introduction of a powerful technology than the one now taking place in Iran. Artificial intellige .....

Globalization has changed the face of social, cultural, and linguistic diversity in societies all over the world. As a result, homogeneous programmes that deal with ‘problematic youth’ are no longer applicable because they ignore the superdiverse backgrounds of adolescents. This study analyzes intake interviews conducted by that are intended to assess adolescents’ situations accurately and subsequently determine how they can best be assisted.

By Ruth MensaertIntroductionThere is a growing sense that over the past two decades, globalization has changed the face of social, cultural and linguistic diversity in societies all over the world (Blommaert and Rampton, 2012). These effects are not only visible in the contact between languages a .....

J.K. Rowling, the acclaimed author of the Harry Potter book series, has in recent years become known as a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF).

J.K. Rowling: From Famous Author to Popular TERFJ.K. Rowling, born Joanne Rowling, is a 60-year-old Scottish author, most known for her Harry Potter series (Rowling, n.d.). This seven-book-long fantasy series received worldwide recognition and was adapted into eight successful movies—resulting ...

Has the proliferation of technology, and the digital platform economy, indeed rendered individual workers more autonomous in ? This study looks at three conceptions of autonomy that are deployed in the platform economy to demonstrate how gamified ‘choices’ are no longer being seen as free choices, but as inducements driven by platform interests. In the , workers increasingly seek changed conditions to realise substantive freedoms rather than embracing market autonomy or negative liberty.

The proliferation of technology, and the digital platform economy as its recent form, it is argued, has rendered individuals autonomous. We take the concept of 'autonomy' as our starting point to consider how it is conceptualised within the digital platform economy. Autonomy in the real ...
