Online Culture Wars
Mapping out the online culture wars, with the help of:
- The book Kill All Normies, Angela Nagle
- The Red Pill Documentary
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.
