SOCIO-CULTURAL OVERVIEW OF THE WAR ON SOCIAL NETWORKS. POLITICS, IDENTITY(IES), LANGUAGE(S)

Summary/Abstract: The word "war” carries a strong nominal charge in several types of wars and several ways of waging them: war of position, economic war, atomic war, cold war, diffuse war, war against a pandemic, etc. This article takes us through a brief history of the recent war in images, as it has been taken up by social media, through several characters who have turned their current (and) current activity into a weapon of war: a war of images and social media. The approximation of what is personal or identity in social media and the politics of war represents a major shift brought about by recent, bloody events. About the self and politics, about images and the power of messaging, about language in the service of war on social media, a search for personal as well as national identity, these are the new issues brought to the agenda of the day through social media. The President of Ukraine himself, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has started using social media relentlessly to get his anti-Russian message out to the world. This foray into social media, politics, identity, and language is one of the weapons of war and it should not be avoided, on the contrary, it should be seen, supported, and recorded in history.
