About the Book

In the digital age, online platforms are critical for sociopolitical discourse, where individuals and groups express, debate, and negotiate meanings tied to identity, power, and ideology. Through social media, users engage in conversations that reflect broader cultural and political dynamics, often shaping public opinion and influencing real-world outcomes. The nature of online communication amplifies marginalized voices and increases polarization. Understanding the meanings in online sociopolitical discourse requires analyzing the content, context, intent, and reception of digital interactions. Further exploration may reveal how language can be a tool for resistance, manipulation, or solidarity in the contemporary sociopolitical landscape. Sociopolitical Discourse and Meanings in Online Communication explores the integration of sociology and politics into digital communication platforms. It examines the effects of sociopolitical discourse on media, journalism, online platforms, and cultural discourse. This book covers topics such as social media, public opinion, and digital technology, and is a useful resource for sociologists, political scientists, educators, media and communication professionals, academicians, and researchers.
