Hyperreaktiv: Wie in Sozialen Medien um Deutungsmacht gekämpft wird. Book launch with Annekathrin Kohout

Like, share, comment, meme - what seems like casual interaction has long been part of an intense struggle for attention and meaning. In her latest publication “Hyperreaktiv”, cultural scientist and author Annekathrin Kohout examines how digital forms of reaction - from stitches to quote tweets - have become the currency of political debate.

How do platform logics influence our communication behavior? What strategies, norms and dynamics shape the digital debate spaces? And what responsibility do we bear as users in a hyper-reactive public sphere?

At the book premiere, Annekathrin Kohout will talk with Nils Markwardt about the performative power of digital reactions, about the power of interpretation online - and about the subtle constraints of an infrastructure in which every like becomes a positioning.
