An Analysis of Anti-Nuke Activism and the Internet Based on Narrative Approach

Misao Redwolf as a “wounded story teller”

Abstract

This paper analyses Twitter messages of a leading anti-nuke activist, Misao Redwolf, from a perspective of narrative approach. Based on text mining analysis of the messages, the author found her personal narrative was connected to anti-nuke protest as public issue. This scheme is sharable by the protest pariticpants who also have reasons to participate in the action in their personal experiences and self-narratives.
