We have just published Veronika Burcar Alm, Erik Hannerz, and David Wästerfors’ article “Hard Work and Fun: Collective Online Interaction in a Case of Photo Fraud” on Early View of Symbolic Interaction. In their article, the authors examine interaction in an online discussion forum in which participants critically discuss the moral stance of a wildlife photographer who has been found out to have published manipulated images. In their analysis, Burcar, Hannerz and Wästerfors draw on interactionist concepts like Randall Collins’ interaction rituals, Erving Goffman’s frames, and the concept of playbour.
