    The thesis evolves around social gatherings of Swiss youth in the public space of major Swiss cities in the summer of 2008. Using quantitative content analysis of articles published in major Swiss newspapers during that time, the author studies the mobilization of teenagers and young adults using the back then yet widely unknown social media platform Facebook. Aside of this, the author highlights implications of spontaneous public gatherings like Botellones, Flashmobs etc. on the public order. Further, the thesis gives an overview of the state of research about public gatherings initiated using new media (mobile phones, texting, internet services like chats, social media sites etc.)
