Part of Amir Kalan's larger Writing in Times of Crisis project, this book offers an innovative arts-based exploration of a pool of Iranian protest tweets, transforming them through a new methodological approach he calls Refractive Poetic Analysis-a form of poetic inquiry between found and generated poetry. Blending insights from sociology, political science, communication, cultural studies, and writing studies, the work reframes emotionally charged digital traces as poetic artifacts that illuminate the affective landscapes of resistance. The volume weaves together a curated sequence of short poems with a reflective methodological chapter, illustrating how poetry can function not only as representation but also as analysis, revealing the collective emotional textures often obscured by platform algorithms. In doing so, the book positions the algorithmically isolated spaces of social media as vital archives and contributes to research-creation practices that seek to surface subaltern voices and challenge dominant political narratives.
