Soziale Medien als fünfte Gewalt: Strategische Organisation deutscher und finnischer Gegenredekampagnen auf Facebook
2023
Social media, as the fifth estate, increasingly influence public discourses and play a major role in shaping public opinion. Undoubtedly, they have the potential to promote participation and democracy. On the other side, they also constitute a risk for democratic societies, as the spread of hate speech and fake news has shown. As a response, forms of counterspeech organised by civil society have emerged in social media to counter the normalisation of hate speech and democracy-threatening discourses. In order to influence discourse in social media in terms of the fifth estate, counterspeech campaigns must be visible also quantitatively. In this ethnographic contrastive study, I analysed…

Sociolinguistic Resilience Among Young Academics. A Quantitative Analysis in Germany and France
2021
International audience; Already Friedrich Schiller was convinced that language mirrors a nation. If this is the case, then the often deplored ‘brutalization of language’, which has almost become a buzzword in the wake of the refugee crisis in Germany that started in 2015, points to a serious social crisis by raising questions of (national) identity and self-understanding. Based on newly introduced sociolinguistic resilience concept in line with the concept of group focus enmity (GFE) combining the dimensions of co-adaptation and co-evolution of linguistic signs, this article presents preliminary empirical evidence of a ‘classroom’ survey conducted among students in four university towns in …
Naida runa haštagu izpausmē
2022
Sociālie tīkli mūsdienās ir kļuvuši par platformu vārda brīvības īstenošanai. Haštagi ar savām unikālajām funkcijām atvieglo iespēju sasniegt lielāku auditoriju tiešsaistē. Diemžēl tieši šī funkcija atvieglo arī naida runas izplatīšanos lietotāju starpā. Situācijās, kad pats haštags var tikt uzskatīts par naida runu, pastāv lielāka iespēja, ka tas tiks atklāts un izdzēsts. Tomēr problēma rodas tad, kad pats haštags šķiet nekaitīgs. Bakalaura darbā "Naida runa haštagu izpausmē" ir sniegts ieskats par haštagu fenomenu. Autore analizē iespēju uzskatīt haštagus par vārda brīvības un naida runas formu. Visbeidzot, autore piedāvā piemērot konteksta kritēriju un citus Rabātas rīcības plāna kritēri…
La independencia de Kosovo como paradigma de la indefinición actual del derecho de libre determinación de los pueblos
2019
La independencia de Kosovo, declarada el 17 de febrero del año 2008 por el parlamento de la provincia federada de Kosovo, integrada en la República de Serbia, ha hecho aflorar un singular problema, teórico y práctico, larvado desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX y todavía no resuelto, con repercusiones fundamentales en el ámbito filosófico, jurídico y político: la titularidad, el ejercicio y el alcance de uno de los derechos más reivindicados y controvertidos en el ámbito internacional: el derecho de libre de determinación de los pueblos, más allá de los países sometidos a dominación colonial. En efecto, la situación de Kosovo constituye un auténtico paradigma en relación con el significado …
Libertad de expresión y el caso del lenguaje del odio. Una aproximación desde la perspectiva norteamericana y la perspectiva alemana
2010
Resumen Este artículo analiza las concepciones sobre la libertad de expresión en el caso del lenguaje del odio, centrándose en algunos aspectos de la perspectiva norteamericana y en algunos aspectos de la perspectiva alemana. El primer modelo está basado en la libertad negativa y se corresponde con la visión del mercado de las ideas que ha elaborado la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema norteamericana. Este Tribunal ha otorgado una papel prioritario a la libertad de expresión, que debería limitarse sólo en casos de un peligro claro y presente o amenaza de desordenes públicos. El segundo modelo, centrado en la libertad positiva, otorga un papel prioritario a la dignidad humana frente a la l…
Are Online Haters Psychopaths? Psychological Predictors of Online Hating Behavior
2020
Despite growing prevalence of derogatory online behaviors, still little is known about psychological factors underlying this negative phenomenon. In the present study, we aimed to compare characteristics of persons who post hating and non-hating comments about Polish sports players during Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang (2018) on the Internet. Ninety-four Internet users (41% women) participated in the study, among which 46 posted hating comments. After one month, participants were invited to take part in a psychological survey, and filled the Dark Triad questionnaire, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Scale of Frustration, and the Scale of Envy. Results showed that high scores in Ps…
The proceedings of Spanish Audiovisual Councils on discriminatory discourse
2021
Mass media, and especially television, are powerful discursive instruments, responsible for the construction of social imagery through ideologically determined content. For this reason, the creation of a regulatory body with authority over the audiovisual sector in countries without one was urged by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in 2000. Spain is the only EU country without an audiovisual council with authority at the state level. Currently, only the Audiovisual Council of Catalonia (CAC), created in 2000, and the Audiovisual Council of Andalusia (CAA), which dates from 2004, operate in Spain. Within an environment increasingly marked by hate speech, this research anal…
Gendered Violence Online : Hate Speech as an Intersection of Misogyny and Racism
2020
Social media has been adopted by radical right populists and alt-right demagogues as a platform for circulating misogynous and racist hate speech and affectively mobilising supporters. This chapter examines hate speech as a form of gendered and racist violence, focusing on social media posts by two influential right-wing populist politicians: Jussi Halla-aho, the leader of the Finns Party, and Donald Trump, the president of the United States. It demonstrates how these politicians intertwine misogyny and racism in blog posts and tweets that target women in particular. Their affective online communication is interpreted as a new form of violence. This digitally mediated violence, although a r…
