Abstract

Generating social awareness suggests the ability to provide information and experiences to people that allows them to acknowledge some form of injustice or inequality. Social awareness has three variations: acquired, awakened and expanded. This study aims to identify whether social network sites and, in this particular case, Facebook are able to act as the vessel that transfers this knowledge to its users around the world, generating social awareness on issues that users were previously unaware of or did not support.
In an attempt to move away from political topics, the example of a social campaign selected was one of cultural heritage – the Greek people’s campaign for the transfer (or repatriation) of the Parthenon Sculptures, currently on exhibit at the British Museum in London, back to the Acropolis of Athens where a new museum for this purpose was completed in 2009.
The online ethnographic approach included observation and content analysis of material from a Facebook Group, Cause and Page in both 2009 and 2011 as well as interviews of members of each of these sites for both time periods. While Greek interviewees were aware of the campaign, the majority of non-Greek interviewees were new to the campaign, their support (or in one case, lack thereof) generated through Facebook. The interviews and content on the sites suggest that two of the three forms of social awareness can be generated through Facebook, while at the same time Facebook maintains the status of a virtual public sphere of access to information and discussion where opinions can be shaped and a forum, its users believe, has the power to mobilize change.
