1821 tweets. Networks and ideological discourse around the Greek revolution bicentenary

Résumé

In this paper we propose an original method combining large scale network and lexicometric analysis in order to link identifiable communities of Twitter users with the main discursive themes they mobilized around the 1821 Greek revolution bicentenary. Overall, the network analysis highlights a double polarization among Greek Twitter users who posted about 1821. On the one hand, we find a large pole on the Right of the political spectrum that represents more than half of our sample. This pole comprises three main sub poles: an international-official sub pole, a neoliberal sub pole and a nationalist-conservative sub pole with close connections to the xenophobic far-right. On the other hand, we find a much smaller leftist pole. Our content analysis demonstrates that the discussion about the bicentenary that took place on Twitter was characterized both by presentism, that is determined by social and political issues of the present time, as well as “ideological battles” around historiography that express political divisions that run through Greek society.
