Abstract

This chapter shows that the dialogicality, cultural diversity and openness of the online communities would provide a means through which to surmount the common sense of racialization. It explores the ways in which people respond to an article that draws on the racialized tensions between Muslim and non-Muslim people in France, questioning whether the platform is used as a means of reinforcing final vocabularies of race or whether it can serve to engender strong poetic responses. On October 22, 2012, Reuters wrote a short news article on a far-right movement in France referred to as Identity Group who seized control of a mosque, unfurling 'a banner referring to Charles Martel's historic defeat of advancing Muslim troops there in 732'. As a story that plays on ever increasing racialized tensions in France, one would reasonably expect some semblance of a response that reflects the current strained political and cultural context of the country.
