1. Social Media as Marketing Tool Referencing Bourdieu's notion of a field, it is worth noting how social media following has become a form of currency (i.e. social and cultural capital), for agents to interact and engage with one another.

2. Censorship
Artistic producers now have to grapple and navigate the digital environment with new censorship guidelines specific to the digital realm. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/229646091 B127652 https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/232758927 Chanced upon an exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark.

It would be interesting to explore the implications of learning how to navigate both the online and offline world simultaneously on the development of one's self-identity. ]]> 2018-02-23 14:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/234683128 B127652 https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/255827025 This article discusses how youths are socially engaged through their political participation on Tumblr. 

Given the platform's interface - ease of sharing and reposting different media, Tumblr has "created new opportunities for engagement". Moreover, Tumblr, vis-a-vis other online platforms, offers youths more flexibility in curating their identity; giving them more freedom to participate in causes they are genuinely more interested in. However, whether such online activism translates into real life political participation is uncertain.  ]]> 2018-04-26 20:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/255827025 B127652 https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/255827789 Interesting article that shows the similarities between digital marketing and digital activism; in terms of their theoretical underpinnings and objectives.

The author, Franziska Grobke, is the co-founder of Level Up, "an organisation for feminists across the UK, focused on online campaigning"; of which, the organisation has crowdfunded over £50,000. Such support not only points to the success of digital activism, but also highlights the potential it holds for social change. ]]> 2018-04-26 20:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/255828987 B127652 https://padlet.com/B127652/pahjxi5mtlpp/wish/255829077 This short clip features The Everyday Sexism Project, a platform for women to document their experiences of sexism. The clip highlights how contemporary feminists are going online to spread awareness; alluding to the potential of new media to facilitate real-time sharing of experiences.

1. Democracy of modern feminism: "Modern feminism reflects modern society. Criticism of previous waves of the movement was that the voice of feminism was often white, well- off and academic."
2. Challenge that modern feminism faces: "Visual exploitation of women goes hand in hand with the digital age - modern feminists' biggest battle."
