Tit-For-Tat Media
This book examines the visual-sexual turn in social media discourses in the field of online activism with a particular focus on the extraordinary protest years of 2018–2020. Presenting a socially engaged theory of "tit-for-tat media" and including case-studies on activist movements such as the Euro-American alt-right, the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, and revolutionary artists in China, this study reveals how visual cultures, including gendered or sexualized imagery, are utilized to influence public perception. By presenting in-depth explorations of online ethnography, interviews with activists and studies of the political histories and urban protests-environments, the volume uncovers how local artists, netizens and citizens are using media and digital imagery in contemporary activism. Covering a broad spectrum of social media content, from hyper-cute manga and cartoons to satirical pornography and sexualized hate-speech, it will be of huge interest to students and scholars of media and communication studies, political communication, sexuality and gender studies.

Nancy O'Sullivan elsker sin singletilværelse i New York. Brudeslør, søde løfter og evig kærlighed er ikke noget for hende – indtil Liam Knightly dukker op. Den flotte, irske tømrer skal sætte hendes mosters hus i stand. Og Liam har ikke spor imod, at mosteren prøver at føre de to sammen. En smuk kvinde som Nancy er en behagelig – og meget sexet – adspredelse. Hvis han nu kan overtale hende til at slappe lidt af – måske gå ud og få en øl på den lokale bar – vil han føle sig som en meget heldig mand. At dømme ud fra udtrykket i hendes øjne kan hun ikke sige nej. Og hvis Liams held varer ved, vil han snart kunne tage hende i sine arme og løbe afsted med hendes hjerte. Shannon McKenna er en amerikansk forfatter, der er kendt for at skrive medrivende og spændingsfyldte romaner. Hun har blandt andet udgivet romanerne "Behind Closed Doors" (2002), "Tasting Fear" (2009) og "Fatal Strike" (2013). Før disse udgivelser skrev McKenna fem romancer udgivet mellem 1996 og 2000 under pseudonymet Shannon Anderson. Disse romaner viser tydeligt det stilskifte, som McKenna foretog, efter at have skrevet en novelle ("Something Wild") til den erotiske novellesamling "All Through the Night" (2001).
