Social Media Activism and Algorithmic Communities
The sixth volume of the Journal of Visual and Media Anthropology introduces several written articles and short films that explore themes of social media activism and desire, as mediated by digital platforms. This 2021 edition brought particular challenges for our contributors and editors, as two of the films intended for publication were censored.

Another was flagged and taken down by Youtube’s algorithm for suspected disinformation.
The articles in this volume particularly focus on the growing power of large-scale, for-profit technology platforms. These opaque corporations and their oligarchs have now consolidated control over the digital space of the internet, and its material infrastructure.
