Abstract:
|
The COVID-19 outbreak has been instrumentalized as a catalyst for
further autocratization, especially in South and Southeast Asia. The
#MilkTeaAlliance, a Pan-Asian solidarity networked social movement, could be
the movement that challenges effectively and productively this growing trend.
The objective of this research is to evaluate if the hastagh #MilkTeaAlliance has
the potential to become the next alter-globalization movement.
To that end, this dissertation adopts a dual approach. First, a theoretical
parallel is drawn between #MilkTeaAlliance and alter-globalization through
Castells’ conceptualization of networked social movements. Second, over
two-hundred tweets in English have been collected from March 2020 to March
2022. These tweets are categorized by the co-occurrence of words and the visual
content to investigate if Twitter is a space of denunciation and/or a space of
prefiguration.
The thesis concludes that #MilkTeaAlliance has the potential to become a
catalyst for a larger movement, but it is not yet the next alter-globalization.
Although it has many similarities to the alter-globalization movement, this
conclusion is based on three observations: (a) Twitter is a space of denunciation
rather than a space of prefiguration, (b) Southeast Asian users are more engaged
than those from outside the region, and (c) the movement has a weak shared
framework. |
