ABSTRACT From the early 2000s onward the Netherlands has witnessed unexpected and unprecedented polarization. Right-wing populist activism challenged the right of newcomers to belong in Dutch society. Coinciding with this populist swing, participatory media (web communities such as Marokko.nl, blog sites such as GeenStijl – which translates as ‘BadForm’ – and later Facebook and Twitter) have become available as sites for like-minded groups, including some with recent migration backgrounds, to convene and build communities that cross from the social into the virtual and back. They have become spaces for exchange, sharing, and discussion where emotion colours most interactions. Following discussion among cultural theorists, this paper will trace how affect intersects with discursive practice in order to understand how cultural citizenship as a discussion of the right to cultural difference is being practiced and contested. The paper examines whether and how participatory platform media have changed the role and the mission of the engaged media-audience researcher, and what she might need to do now that audiences arguably have become a new type of public.

在线追踪文化公民

摘要 从 2000 年代初开始，荷兰目睹了意想不到的前所未有的两极分化。右翼民粹主义激进主义挑战新移民融入荷兰社会的权利。与这种民粹主义的摇摆不谋而合，参与性媒体（Marokko.nl 等网络社区、GeenStijl 等博客网站——翻译为“BadForm”——以及后来的 Facebook 和 Twitter）已成为志同道合的团体的网站，包括一些与最近的移民背景，以召集和建立从社交到虚拟并返回的社区。它们已成为交流、分享和讨论的空间，情感为大多数互动增添色彩。经过文化理论家的讨论，本文将追踪影响如何与话语实践相交，以了解文化公民作为讨论文化差异的权利是如何被实践和争论的。本文探讨了参与式平台媒体是否以及如何改变了参与媒体受众研究人员的角色和使命，以及在受众可以说已经成为一种新型公众的情况下她可能需要做的事情。
