In 2014, French and Belgian Facebook members witnessed the flourishing of numerous Facebook groups dedicated to their town or village that shared the same rallying cry, “You’re a real … if …” This trend spread like wildfire, to the extent that more than 160 towns/villages now have an active page on the social network. Seniors are among the most active members of these groups. In this context, the general objective of our study consisted of identifying the mechanisms through which these pages participate in building a real geo-cultural community in which the oldest Facebook members play a central role. To do so, we performed a content analysis of the 842 posts and 5,314 comments written between December 5, 2014 and January 5, 2015 in the groups representing the cities of Hannut and Jodoigne (Belgium) as well as Fourmies and Harnes (France). Our study concerns the topics of the posts, the types of actions performed by the members and the interactions among them. Our research shows that such groups create intergenerational “affinity spaces,” which debunks common misconceptions about how seniors approach the digital world.Apparus en 2014, les groupes Facebook intitulés « T’es un vrai … si … », qui rassemblent les « vrais » habitants d’une ville, se sont développés comme une traînée de poudre. Aujourd’hui, plus de 160 groupes de ce type existent sur le réseau social. Les seniors font partie des membres les plus actifs de ces groupes. Dès lors, afin d’identifier dans quelle mesure de tels groupes créent une dynamique intergénérationnelle, nous avons procédé à une analyse de contenu des 842 billets et 5 314 commentaires rédigés entre le 5 décembre 2014 et le 5 janvier 2015 au sein des groupes dédiés aux villes de Hannut et Jodoigne (Belgique) ainsi que Fourmies et Harnes (France). Notre analyse porte sur les types de sujets traités, sur les types d’actions réalisées et sur les modes d’interaction. Il en ressort que ces groupes construisent des « espaces d’affinités » intergénérationnels, qui viennent tordre le cou aux représentations souvent négatives du rapport entre le numérique et la « personne âgée ».

Facebook as a corporate communication tool for companies? A content analysis of the communication strategies of reputable Belgian companies on the social network site Facebook as a corporate communication tool for companies? A content analysis of the communication strategies of reputable Belgian companies on the social network site This study used a quantitative content analysis to investigate how twelve reputable Belgian companies use Facebook as a corporate communication tool. Findings indicate that companies use Facebook more often to post public relations than marketing communication content. The former is also more often shared than the latter. However, the latter creates more engagement in terms of reactions of the company on comments of users. Furthermore, about one fourth of the company posts did not generate any written reactions from users and can be classified as one-way communication. Almost 40% of the posts generated reactions from the users. To conclude, in one third of the cases companies reacted on these reactions of users, and results reveal that this is more often the case when it concerns public relations content than marketing communication content. Reputation score was not able to predict the communication strategy used on Facebook.

The communication power of the social network Instagram is important to address due to its relaxed nature of presenting details from the ordinary lives of individuals. A comparison of the manners in which influencers and politicians represent themselves brings to front a changed dynamic of social power, as it is available online to anyone who can persuade followers to identify with them or to wish to do so in the future. Two ways of identification with an influencer are assumed, namely increasing and decreasing of distance between them and their followers. The text focuses on the latter, where politicians approach the people by showing the banality of their everyday lives. After reviewing the profiles of two Slovenian politicians, a noticeable pattern is that they most often do so with photographs of puppies and kittens. Keywords: populists’ rhetoric, master, Instagram, politics, pets, selfie

AbstractDown syndrome is a sensitive subject and one that requires efforts being made to improve conditions of individuals with Down syndrome across multiple dimensions. Social awareness is one of the important dimensions for the inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome. Online spaces as well as offline spaces are an important part of our daily lives, and these spaces provide numerous opportunities to create, increase and sustain awareness of Down syndrome. From this perspective, this study examines the awareness of Down syndrome in online spaces. With this objective in mind, the research examined 4,168 conversations from 2,430 individuals that were posted in a microblogging service on WDSD. The research findings indicate that the Down syndrome network is distributed in time and space with diverse backgrounds. Key influencers were those who were already associated with Down syndrome. Furthermore, the social mood for Down syndrome was found to be positive.Keywords: Down syndrome, World Down Syndrome Day, Down syndrome awareness, social network analysis, sentiment analysis.*

ABSTRACT – This paper begins with a discussion of the concept of populism in order to analyze how Jair Bolsonaro’s criticisms of the press circulated on the social network Twitter at a time when Brazil had recorded the highest number of covid-related deaths, in the first week of March 2021. This paper presupposes that the president’s support network incorporated the populist binary rhetoric of “us” against a “corrupt elite” which is responsible for conspiring and amplifying the effects of the health crisis in the country. As a methodology, we opted for a mixed proposal based on content analysis and analysis of social networks. As a result, we found that the tweets from Bolsonaro supporters claim that the press is corrupt, and manipulates and harasses the president in its coverage of the pandemic. RESUMO – O artigo parte da discussão do conceito de populismo, com o objetivo de analisar como as críticas de Jair Bolsonaro à imprensa circularam na rede social Twitter no momento em que o Brasil atingia o maior número de mortos pela covid-19, na primeira semana de março de 2021. O texto traz como hipótese que a rede de apoio ao presidente incorporou a retórica binarista do “nós” contra uma “elite corrupta” que é responsável por conspirar e ampliar os efeitos da crise sanitária no país. Como metodologia, optou-se por uma proposta mista ancorada na análise de redes sociais e análise de conteúdo. Como resultado, constatou-se que os tweets dos apoiadores de Bolsonaro associaram a imprensa atributos de corrupção, manipulação e perseguição ao líder na cobertura contra uma “elite corrupta” e atribuiu a imprensa o caráter dos efeitos da pandemia.

This research delves into the television programs of political info- tainment (politainment) broadcast in 2018 in Spain and analyzes in a particular way the behavior of the infoshow ‘El Intermedio’, as well as the engagement of its social audience on the social network Twitter. For this, a content analysis methodology has been used on the tweets published by the program, the com- ments received and the reactions made by its social audience. The results of the investigation indicate that, as a whole, politainment programs, or those that include spectacular politics, and that are broadcast in the night time slot, have a greater number of followers on their Twitter profiles than those that are broad- cast in the morning, they also concentrate a higher accumulated monthly linear audience. Regarding the analysis of the tweets and comments of ‘El Intermedio’, the colloquial language and the critical and humorous intentionality are pre- dominant while the engagement obtained is scarce as it does not include only viralizing elements that reinforce its messages.

The authors make a supposition that any social network is an array of texts that can be formally analyzed. Relying on the ideas of cultural-historical psychology, the authors consider the text as a model that is used to cognize the world and with the help of which higher mental functions are formed. The network text is analyzed as a semiotic system. The authors have created categories of the content analysis of pages in the social network VKontakte. These categories help to assess a persons aggressiveness and auto-aggressiveness. The respondents were 58 women and 63 men aged from 17 to 23. Complex research into aggressiveness and auto-aggressiveness, and deviant behavior was carried out using V.V. Boikos and A.N. Orels methodologies. The data of the content analysis and the data of both tests were statistically processed. The analysis using Pearsons correlation coefficient demonstrated many interconnections between the presence and the extent of the content analysis categories and the data from the standardized methodologies. A strong direct correlation relationship between the auto-aggressiveness index by V.V. Boikos methodology and reasons for violence (0,72), depression (0,92), auto-aggression (0,63) and isolation (0,63) are similar with the data received applying the self-harming scale methodology by A.N. Orel: there is a strong direct correlation with violence (0,72), depression (0,93), auto-aggression (0,64) and isolation (0,68). The authors found a strong direct correlation between motives for violence and the tendency for aggression and violence index in accordance with A.N. Orels methodology (0,72). By A.N. Orels methodology he authors found a strong direct correlation between the motive for accepting criminal norms and the tendency for delinquent behavior (0,79). A correlation relationship between the motive for eroticism and inability for restraining aggression (0,62) was also revealed. The authors have interpreted correlation relationships. The factor analysis by the Kaiser criterion demonstrated that there are five logically interconnected factors. The research hypothesis has been proved. Prospects for follow-up research have been outlined.

Nowadays, in the field of social bots investigations, we can observe a new research trend — a shift from a technology-centered to sociology-centered interpretations. It leads to the creation of new perspectives for sociology: now the phenomenon of social bots is not only considered as one of the efficient manipulative technologies but has a wider meaning: new communicative technologies have an informational impact on the social networks space. The objective of this research is to assess the new approaches of the established social bots typologies (based on the fields of their usage, objectives, degree of human behavior imitation), and also consider the ambiguity and controversy of the use of such typologies using the example of botnets operating in the VKontakte social network. A method of botnet identification is based on comprehensive methodology developed by the authors which includes the frequency analysis of published messages, botnet profiling, statistical analysis of content, analysis of botnet structural organization, division of content into semantic units, forming content clusters, content analysis inside the clusters, identification of extremes — maximum number of unique texts published by botnets in a particular cluster for a certain period. The methodology was applied for the botnet space investigation of Russian online social network VKontakte in February and October 2018. The survey has fixed that among 10 of the most active performing botnets, three botnets were identified that demonstrate the ambiguity and controversy of their typologization according to the following criteria: botnet “Defrauded shareholders of LenSpetsStroy” — according to the field of their usage, botnet “Political news in Russian and Ukrainian languages” — according to their objectives, botnet “Ksenia Sobchak” — according to the level of human behavior imitation. The authors identified the prospects for sociological analysis of different types of bots in a situation of growing accessibility and routinization of bot technologies used in social networks. Keywords: social bots, botnets, classification, VKontakte social network
