Annotation

This paper demonstrates that social media story making processes are essential for what is indicated as apposite and for how the Greek crisis context is made sense of, criticized and finally downsized or deleted in favour of more personalized and localized explanations (via e.g. narrative stancetaking and resemiotizations), drawing on a specific incident including the attack of two female parliament members (MP's) by a male MP during a 2012 Greek TV breakfast show.
