- Abstract
- "This poster examines the Facebook presence of two grassroots political movements as two distinct information worlds. Upon examining Facebook pages that supported and decried the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements, it was found that while there were some clear differences in ideology and information values, there was also a considerable amount of overlap in rhetorical approach and ""positioning."" Situating this behavior within Erdelez' (Burnett & Erdelez, 2010) idea of ""exploded context,"" which conceptualizes context as always multiple, this research also offers the opportunity to explore barriers between the groups, and whether these are surmountable or an innate part of the groups' information worlds."
