Online Culture Wars

Mapping out the online culture wars, with the help of:

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

Questions:

  • How is offline politics influenced by the online culture war?
  • Can you break an online echo chamber by taking its ideology offline, leaving physical trace?

Research Method

3 steps:

1. I first want to map out the broad scope.
I will do this by:

  • text (short descriptions of ideology, bio's of actors, links between actors, online habitats)
  • gathering media:
  • creating a map

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.
