title = "United we diverge: politician Facebook responses to terror attacks ",
abstract = "This chapter investigates what may be termed the responsive aspect of politics in critical situations where ordinary routines are challenged and unexpected events require a political response. Taking the deadly attack on a public meeting and the synagogue in Copenhagen, Denmark, on February 14, 2015, as an empirical case, the chapter analyzes responses from leading politicians on Facebook in the first days after the attacks. The analysis centers on the way in which the attacks are categorized and evaluated as well as on prevalent topoi and forms of dialogicality. The chapter concludes that the Facebook responses constitute a double articulation of overt unity and potential disagreement. ",
