Peters: Artenübergreifendes Storytelling im digitalen Klimaaktivismus auf Blogs

Abstract: The article explores digital climate activism beyond well-known platforms like Twitter/X, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, where activism is shaped by specific algorithms and constraints like character limits. In contrast, this study focuses on digital climate activism within the realm of online blogs—an infrastructure that currently receives less attention. Blogs offer unique opportunities, aside from their archival function,for narrating stories about the Anthropocene and linking these stories with others. The article analyzes blog posts to expand the concept of ecological storytelling, drawing on new materialisms, to include non-human entities such as plants, animals, and ecological processes. This form of storytelling is conceptualized as everyday, precarious, and affective relationship work, which alters existing connections, brings forth new ones, and tests them. The article focuses on the encounter, the description of cross-species relational work, affective responses, and Green Emotions, as well as the imagination of alternative, ecological, and posthuman relationships.
