Argument extraction is the task of identifying arguments, along with their components in text. Arguments can be usually decomposed into a claim and one or more premises justifying it. Among the novel aspects of this work is the thematic domain itself which relates to Social Media, in contrast to traditional research in the area, which concentrates mainly on law documents and scientific publications. The huge increase of social media communities, along with their user tendency to debate, makes the identification of arguments in these texts a necessity. Argument extraction from Social Media is more challenging because texts may not always contain arguments, as is the case of legal documents or scientific publications usually studied. In addition, being less formal in nature, texts in Social Media may not even have proper syntax or spelling. This paper presents a two-step approach for argument extraction from social media texts. During the first step, the proposed approach tries to classify the sentences into “sentences that contain arguments” and “sentences that don’t contain arguments”. In the second step, it tries to identify the exact fragments that contain the premises from the sentences that contain arguments, by utilizing conditional random fields. The results exceed significantly the base line approach, and according to literature, are quite promising.

The Social

The reality of young readers'(Jakarta) receptions of the teenlit novel concerning the motives, purposes, and benefits of reading the teenlit novel explains the social-cultural function of teenlit novel. Teenlit novel as a means of entertainment is able to fulfill the social-cultural function, which is giving spiritually pleasure, to be able to accommodate the horizon-expectations of adolescent readers. Teenlit novel provides entertainment while teaching "something" to teenagers. Teenlit novel serves as a social media such as self-identification, actualization, and socialization. Teenlit novel directly or indirectly has function to develop personality: independent, confident, and more mature. However, in some ways there is a contradictory reality between the motives, goals, and benefits of reading teenlit novels among teenagers. The contradictory reality is the absence of a correlation between motives and goals with the benefit of reading teenlit novel. The motive of spare time is not correlated with the purpose of gaining knowledge. The purpose of acquiring knowledge is not correlated with the benefits of not feeling smarter. These facts indicate that there are important issues relating to information and values promoted by the novel teenlit and the value system prevailing in adolescent social life.

Social Media Communication

This chapter explores the social media marketing communication of brands in the first days of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak within the theoretical framework provided by signaling theory. The social media content of six Turkish brands was examined by content analysis. The findings have shown that brands shared posts in four themes: brand promotion, brand's COVID-19 messages, product promotion, and special day posts. Brands integrated the COVID-19 agenda in their social media communication in two ways. First, they designed and shared posts that focused solely on the pandemic. These COVID-19-related posts constituted a separate category that did not include any direct relevance to the brands' promotion activities. Second, they added COVID-19-related points in their social media posts. This study provides valuable findings for marketing practitioners and academicians regarding social media communication in a global health crisis.

Due to the advancement in internet technology, everyone can connect to anyone living anywhere in this world who is far away from us by using social media. Social media became a public place to share everyone's personal photos and videos. These photos or videos are viewed, shared, and even downloaded by their respective friends, someone from their friends' profiles, and even unrelated persons also without their permission. One of the risks from the social media is the cyber bullying or online harassment. Cyber bullies perpetrate either through denigration or doxing. The cyber bullies are anonymous, and it is very difficult for us to catch and punish them. The main aim of this chapter is to provide the privacy and security to the photos that are sharing on social media. This chapter proposes a novel algorithm to keep the photos safe that are uploading on social media and the extension of the novel algorithm to reveal the details of the cyber bullies those who performed morphing on the photos that were downloaded from social media.

The article critically examines the different strategies through which the Union government of India is battling against the novel coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the article examines the socio-economic implications of India’s nation-wide lockdown (25 March 2020–31 May 2020), and how one can conceptualise the same from a biopolitical framework. The article heavily draws from the works of influential thinkers such as Michel Foucault (1977, 2003, 2007), Giorgio Agamben (1998), Achille Mbembe (2019) and Partha Chatterjee (2006), to analyse the Indian state’s responses to Covid-19. The data deployed in this article is largely gathered from the author’s observations of the lockdown, and secondary sources such as newspaper articles, reports published by international and national organisations, academic journals, and social media websites. The main objectives of this article were to provide a critical reading of India’s ‘lockdown’ approach and ‘necropolitical governmentality,’ and understand how implementing the same has adversely impacted and reconfigured the social and the quotidian life of citizens.

Negation Detection

In this paper, we introduce the T-MexNeg corpus of Tweets written in Mexican Spanish. It consists of 13,704 Tweets, of which 4895 contain negation structures. We performed an analysis of negation statements embedded in the language employed on social media. This research paper aims to present the annotation guidelines along with a novel resource targeted at the negation detection task. The corpus was manually annotated with labels of negation cue, scope, and, event. We report the analysis of the inter-annotator agreement for all the components of the negation structure. This resource is freely available. Furthermore, we performed various experiments to automatically identify negation using the T-MexNeg corpus and the SFU ReviewSP-NEG for training a machine learning algorithm. By comparing two different methodologies, one based on a dictionary and the other based on the Conditional Random Fields algorithm, we found that the results of negation identification on Twitter are lower when the model is trained on the SFU ReviewSP-NEG Corpus. Therefore, this paper shows the importance of having resources built specifically to deal with social media language.

Decolonial Feminism

Resumo: Fundamentando a investigação no feminismo decolonial (LUGONES, 2020; VÈRGES, 2019), o propósito deste trabalho é empreender uma discussão acerca do modo como se apresentam personagens femininas e as relações de gênero no século XXI no romance português contemporâneo A vida sonhada das boas esposas (2019), de Possidónio Cachapa. As personagens femininas constituem o fio condutor de uma narrativa situada em um Portugal cosmopolita contemporâneo que, embora interligado pelas tecnologias das redes sociais, mantém resquícios de ditames que remetem aos ideais de família nuclear propagados pelo Estado Novo (1933-1974). Assim, discurso e poder patriarcal perpassam e são determinantes das relações sociais da narrativa, sobretudo as que envolvem a protagonista Madalena que, apenas após a morte do marido, percebe-se como sujeito e passa a experimentar a vida desse novo lugar, a partir do qual estabelece relacionamentos próprios e não mais circunscritos ao seu papel social de esposa. Considera-se o feminismo como pressuposto filosófico do romance uma vez que a narrativa aponta, por meio das figurações femininas, para modelos existenciais múltiplos. Trata-se, portanto, de uma inscrição de modelos existenciais diversos no lugar da tradicional identidade feminina única, fixa e presa aos papéis de gênero estabelecidos por uma ordem patriarcal que, não obstante, ainda apresenta vestígios de um pensamento colonial.Palavras-chave: feminino; figuração; feminismo; Possidónio Cachapa.Abstract: Supporting the investigation in Decolonial Feminism (LUGONES, 2020; VÈRGES, 2019), this work aims to lead a discussion about how female characters as well as gender relations in the 21st century are presented in the contemporary Portuguese novel A vida sonhada das boas esposas (2019), by Possidónio Cachapa. The female characters compose the thread of a narrative placed in a cosmopolitan and contemporary Portugal that, while connected by the social media technologies, shows traces of the Novo Estado (1933-1974) diktat ideals about nuclear families. Therefore, the patriarchal discourse and power are determining of the social relations in the narrative, mainly the ones involving the protagonist Madalena who, only after her husband’s death, realizes she is a subject and comes to experience life in this new place where she establishes her own relationships no longer based on her social wife role. Feminism is considered the philosophical foundation of the novel once it points to multiple existential models through female figuration. Consequently, it is an inscription of diverse existential models instead of the fixed gender roles established by a patriarchal order. Nevertheless, there are still vestiges of a colonial thought.Keywords: female; figuration; feminism; Possidónio Cachapa.

Abstract This article introduces the notion of cultural innovation, which requires adapting our approach to co-creation. The argument opens with a first conceptualization of cultural innovation as an additional and autonomous category of the complex processes of co-creation. The dimensions of cultural innovation are contrasted against other forms of innovation. In a second step, the article makes an unprecedented attempt in describing processes and outcomes of cultural innovation, while showing their operationalization in some empirical case studies. In the conclusion, the article considers policy implications resulting from the novel definition of cultural innovation as the outcome of complex processes that involve the reflection of knowledge flows across the social environment within communities of practices while fostering the inclusion of diversity in society. First and foremost, cultural innovation takes a critical stance against inequalities in the distribution of knowledge and builds innovation for improving the welfare of individuals and communities.

Purpose- This paper dives into the engagement patterns exhibited on Instagram by two streaming heavyweights; Amazon Prime and Disney+. With ever-growing popularity among the younger generation, Instagram is vital for driving engagement in the social media ecosystem. Hence, it is crucial to understand what content posted by streaming services fosters engagement on this platform. Design/Methodology- A combined total of 230 Instagram posts appearing between January 14 and February 28, 2021, were extensively analyzed. The goal was to examine the post objectives, features, and emotional elements accompanying said posts that Amazon Prime and Disney+ uploaded. Special attention was paid to the number of likes on posts since it is a key metric in measuring engagement. Findings- Results indicate that, despite having fewer posts per day, Disney+ drove much more engagement in post likes and comments. The platform made extensive use of hashtags and entertaining content to engage audiences. However, Amazon Prime had a big absence of useful features like hashtags. It also relied heavily on third-party content, unlike Disney+, whose content primarily consists of original programming. Practical Implications- The novel findings have important implications for streaming services, social media practitioners, and researchers.
