Life-cycle of internet trolls
2018
This paper is a master’s thesis about internet trolls and trolling with the main goal of finding what is the life-cycle of internet trolls. In other words, how a person becomes a troll, how their trolling evolves, and how does trolling stop. Trolling definitions are also examined to see whether they are adequate. This thesis also covers the current state of research done on trolling, with the emphasis on literature that is relevant to the life-cycle of a troll. The literature will also be evaluated against the results from this study. Past research on trolling is quite scarce when comparing to the multiple topics it holds, suggesting that the scientific understanding of internet trolls is s…

2020
This article explores trolling as a form of literary activity. It presents a number of specific types of trolling on the Russian-language Internet in connection with digital literature and the literary practices of various groups of Internet users.

Trolligans : Conceptual Links Between Trolling and Hooliganism in Sports and Esports
2023
Both game-based trolling and hooliganism have existed in some form since the inception of online gaming and professional sports respectively.

However, despite this and the increasing similarity between the worlds of traditional sports and esports, research on the two negatively perceived phenomena has remained largely separate. The present article aims to both link and distinguish the two types of behaviour in terms of what motivates them, the agents involved, and the spaces in which they…
Pepe-sammakko Kiasmassa : leikki, trollaaminen ja #ALONETOGETHER-taideteoksen affektiivisuus
2018
#ALONETOGETHER oli yleisön osallistumiseen perustuva taideteos Kiasmassa keväällä 2017. Siihen kohdistui toistuvaa trollausta, joka kumpusi taiteilijoiden aiemmasta poliittisesta toiminnasta ja siitä virinneistä keskusteluista internetin kuvalaudoilla. Analysoimme teoksen ympärillä tapahtunutta trollausta ja osoitamme, miten se on yhdistelmä affekteja, leikkiä ja poliittista toimintaa. peerReviewed
