The authors adopt a qualitative thematic analysis methodology composed of interviews with monitors and documents from their shared communication and discussion channels. The authors\u2019 analysis seeks to highlight how information is transformed between social and technical actors through the process of monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The authors\u2019 analysis identifies that the technologization of monitoring for violence prevention to assist nonviolent activists produces two principal and related forms of transformation: appropriation and hidden attributes. Monitors \u201cappropriate\u201d information from sources to fit new ends and modes of representation throughout the process of detection, verification and dissemination. The verification and dissemination processes likewise render latent supporting informational elements, hiding the aggregative nature of information flow in monitoring. The authors connect the ideas of appropriation and hidden attributes to broader discourses in surveillance and trust that challenge monitoring and its place in peace work going forward.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To the best of the authors\u2019 knowledge, this study is the first to focus on the communicative and information processes of remote support monitors. The authors demonstrate that adoption of social and digital media information of incipient violence and response processes for its mitigation suggests both a social and technical precarity for the role of monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jices-03-2023-0029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,14]],"date-time":"2023-09-14T00:54:31Z","timestamp":1694652871000},"page":"485-501","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Social and digital media monitoring for nonviolence: a distributed cognition perspective of the precariousness of peace work"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Richard Noel","family":"Canevez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenifer Sunrise","family":"Winter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph G.","family":"Bock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,14]]},"reference":[{"article-title":"Situation awareness as distributed cognition","volume-title":"ECCE 1998 \u2013 Cognition and Co-Operation.
