CASTRO MENDEZ, Evelyn Norma. Analysis of Visual Discourse in Facebook. A Process of Social Empowerment and Desacralization of the Power of Hosni Mubarak. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2017, vol.52, n.1, pp.61-96. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v52i1.2284.

This paper summarizes the results of an analysis of the visual discourse of an English version of Facebook web page “We are all Khaled Said”. The original Arabic web page played an important role in bringing together much of the Egyptian dissent during the revolution of 2010-2011. The study aims to identify the actors, themes and dominant spoken vocabulary, as well as examining two visual narratives, in order to understand how this socio-digital network contributed to the movement that led to the deposition of President Hosni Mubarak.
