Online Virality : Spread and Influence

Abstract

This volume offers an interdisciplinary overview of online virality, exploring the circulation, reception, evolution of viral born-digital content. This phenomenon involves a combination of material, infrastructural, visual, and discursive elements, shaped by platforms, stakeholders, intermediaries, and communities. Regulation, curation, and content moderation are also critical. The book provides a nuanced analysis of these multifaceted aspects.
