Good morning, everyone,
As promised, attached to this email, you will find the first complete draft of the paper on Alex Jones for a special issue on ‘Cancel Culture and Digital Platforms’ for Television and New Media (you can find the call here<https://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2022/07/20/digital-platforms-and-….>). The official deadline for submission is the 30th of June, leaving quite some time to reflect and incorporate your feedback.
While you are, of course, free to mention anything that strikes you, I also wanted to offer some suggestions:
* What do you think about the interpretations that we draw from the findings? Anything you disagree with or results that you see as indicative of something other than what is currently mentioned?
* Following the previous point, the literature review section is still in development, as it works back from the findings and seeks to combine the role of the ‘ideological entrepreneur’ with insights from ‘fandom studies’ and ‘small acts of engagement’. Is the overall line of this argumentation clear? Is there anything missing here that helps to understand the findings?
* Ike suggested that perhaps a valuable angle for a broader discussion within the unit is the application of the concept ‘small acts of engagement’ (which has been anonymized for peer review). What do you think about the application of the concept to the current study, and are there certain additions that can help further theorize or illiterate the concept?
* Finally, the paper has around 7000 words, and the final version, including references, cannot exceed 5000 words. Let me know if anything strikes you as redundant or repetitive or if it does not contribute to the overall article.
I am looking forward to our discussion!
Warm regards,
Daniel
