Online Culture Wars
Mapping out the online culture wars, with the help of:
HAVE READ/WATCHED:
- The book Kill All Normies, Angela Nagle
- The Red Pill Documentary
- Aesthetics of Fascism, a talk by Nina Powers
NEED TO READ/WATCH:
- Klaus Theweleit – Male Fantasies Volume 2, Male Bodies: Psychoanalyzing the White Terror
- Victor Klemperer – Language of the Third Reich – LTI – lingua-tertii-imperii
- The authoritarian personality (1950) – Theodor W Adorno
Notes:
- While attempting to describe these groups, I notice the left-wing/feminist side has less specific groups/names. Plus a lot of names, like SJW, are coined by the "enemy".
- If I create a dictionary and follow word origin and scrape its history online, could that give clues on how the ideology is shaped?
- Is it possible to scrape a few forums and check when unknown words are created? Therefore following directly when, where and how the ideology is shaped?
- 06/11/2016: CNN has released a video on The Red Pill: http://edition.cnn.com/videos/cnnmoney/2017/10/30/divided-we-code-red-pill-cnntech.cnn
- Even when addressing non-TRP they still use jargon heavily
Main interests
- collective creation of an ideology online
- from online echo chambers to actual political power
- skewed reality in echo chambers
- possible physicality of online spaces
Possible Questions of focus
- How is offline politics influenced by the online culture war?
- Can you break an online echo chamber by taking its ideology offline, leaving a physical trace?
- How can you stimulate discussion (break online echo chamber) between sides?
- How are language and image used in online culture to shape ideology?
Research Method
1. I first want to map out the broad scope by taking 3 main groups: Right-wing, Left-wing/feminist, Manosphere.
I will do this by:
- text (short descriptions of ideology, bio's of actors, links between actors, online habitats)
- gathering media:
- creating a map
Possible second steps: 2. A 2. A case study. This case study will preferably be a Dutch branch of the online culture wars influencing Dutch politics, as I believe we need to rapidly grow more aware...
Where is this interest coming from:
- I was researching the online subculture of Vaporwave for a while when the culture got reappropriated and was involved in an online culture war, by the alt-right.
