Gender, Feminism, and Media Social Media and Politics Rhetoric and Communication Studies

Abstract

Candidate image is a hyperreal amalgamation of image fragments generated by the politician, her/his campaign communication, news framing, and political pop culture. In the Internet age, a politician's image can be shaped by non‐elite discourses on sites such as Twitter and Tumblr. We develop a theory of the political “meta‐meme,” examining the “Texts fromHillary” Tumblr meme as framed in popular media and redeployed byHillary Clinton in her Twitter debut. The interplay between elite and quotidian discourses that comprise the “Texts fromHillary” meme and the #tweetsfromhillary meta‐meme illustrates howU.S. presidentiality is shaped by rhetorics of postfeminism.
