Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Dallas, 2015.

The ubiquity of visual communication technologies and the instantaneous connectivity of social media in the twenty-first century have expanded the temporal, spatial, and sociopolitical use of photographic images, ushering in the phenomenon of the digital-networked image (DNI). Virally multiplied, witnessed, and repurposed on the Internet, DNIs are playing an increasingly key role in expressions of autonomous, personalized, and self-motivated civic engagement. As manifested in major social uprisings such as the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement, global citizens increasingly use DNIs not only as a form of political expression but also as a pathway to imagined, post-national unities and online counterpublics operating outside dominate public discourses and/or geographic barriers. Providing critical analysis of contemporary social change mediated through DNIs, this study poses political and theoretical questions about the role of DNIs in effecting political change and causing the expansion of public awareness and subsequent action in response to sociopolitical events on an unprecedented scale. Combining semiotics, media theory, and cultural studies, the study applies an interdisciplinary framework to examine the power and impact of DNIs upon cross-cultural and cross-political life. Examining the participatory dimension of DNIs reveals that an image's meaning is no longer contingent upon its indexicality or indexation alone, but rather is equally dependent on the fluidity of multiple and immediate textual narratives and visual derivatives that social media users disseminate in response to it. Expanding upon Barthes' model for semiotic analysis, the study introduces the participatory narrative message as a way to examine the process of meaning formation in DNIs, which operate not in isolation but by and through continuous other mediated, citizen-produced byproducts surrounding them. Lastly, drawing on Foucauldian theories of sovereignty, social discipline, and governmentality, this study uncovers the implications of DNI usage in the perpetration of terror by militant and vigilante groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Russian anti-gay group "Occupy Pedophilia."
