Perceptions of Women in the Far-Right : A Comparative Ideology Analysis of Far-Right Perceptions of Women.Eriksson, Elin January 2021 (has links)
This bachelor’s thesis aspires to contribute to the field of research concerning women and far-right extremism. Scholars have during recent years called attention to the surge of far-right extremism and female participation in jihadi terrorism. However, when these fields of research meet, various knowledge gaps are distinguishable. The explicit research gap that this thesis aims to fill concerns a lack of comparative research on how men and women in the extreme-right perceive women. To fill this gap, this thesis aspires to describe how women are perceived, on a sex-disaggregated basis, in the far-right extremist movement by answering the research question: How do the female far-right extremists in Proud Girls and the male far-right extremists in Proud Boys' perception of women differ? Using the gender-separated US extreme-right group Proud Boys/Proud Girls as a typical case, the study performs an ideology analysis to distinguish how the groups perceive women. Thus, this study contributes to the field by presenting a comparative analysis of how extreme right perceives women. The results of the study suggest a difference in how Proud Boys and Proud Girls perceive women as the former conveys a more misogynist perception whereas the latter adheres to a more empowering view of women.

Avlägset hat i ett retro-futuristiskt landskap : En jämförande analys av vaporwave och fashwaveIngison, Linus January 2022 (has links)
Denna uppsats utför en jämförande analys mellan två snarlika memes, vaporwave och fashwave, för att se närmare på hur deras gemensamma drag används för att kommunicera både högerextrema och icke-högerextrema budskap. Alltså: Vad är det för skillnader mellan memesen, och vad är det i vaporwave estetiska framtoner som gör den retoriskt attraktiv för en högerextrem variant i form av fashwave? Vad tillför dessa till framförandet av det högerextrema budskapet? Med en teoretisk grund i doxologi och konceptet "det imaginära" och med Roland Barthes semiologiska begreppsapparat som metodiskt redskap visar uppsatsen på att de centrala dragen hos båda memesen har likheter och skillnader. Att fashwave tar sig an vaporwaves suggestiva och mångtyda natur och spetsar till den till ett tydligt, riktat högerextremt budskap. Den doxologiska mångfalden som återfinns i memen vaporwave försvinner, och fashwave knyts således an till en högerextrem doxa. Det som tillföres i framförandet av det högerextrema budskapet är en farkost för att kunna sprida sig utåt, att högerextremister kan presenteras utåt som en modern rörelse med en uppfattad konträr placering emot de man uppfattar som "det andra". Och det är mot detta andra, som självbilden skapas.

Pandemic Politics As A Holocaust 2.0? : The Perception Of The Holocaust In Telegram-Communications Of German Covid-ProtestersGolombek, Moritz January 2022 (has links)
Embedding itself in the larger discussion on protests against measures taken by governments all over the world to mitigate the effects of the covid-19 pandemic, this work concerns itself with the role of the Holocaust in narratives found in prominent Telegram channels and chat groups of German covid-protests. Building on the existing body of research, it uses the theoretical framework of New Social Movement (NSM) theory to categorise the protests in Germany. Choosing a mixed-methods design, the phenomenon is described using narrative analysis, computer-assisted coding, and elements of network analysis. The narrative analysis and results of computer-assisted coding, find that the Holocaust is narrated as a valid comparison to pandemic politics, while some Telegram channels engage in historical revisionism. The network analysis reveals a large network of Telegram channels, strengthening the importance of the analysed channels for the protests in Germany

QANON : Från intressegrupp till statskupp / QANON : From interest group to coup'd etatTörnquist, Johannes, Hägglund, Leeloo January 2021 (has links)
This study aims to dive deeper into the specific structure, propagation and adaptability of the American alt-right political movement QAnon’s underlying narrative through the lens of “Digital Storytelling”. The method employed being a holistic narrative analysis. Utilizing data collected from the image boards 4chan, 8chan and 8kun we look at a large narrative specifically centered around Donald Trump’s presidency. By gaining a more thorough understanding of the narrative techniques employed to create said narrative, this study will highlight resilient and recurring structures within the QAnon movement. Our findings show that the movement through the application of several characteristic features of digital storytelling have created a highly adaptable narrative. The cryptic nature of messaging used by the movements original author has through the instance of “decoding”, allowed a range of different interpretations to flourish. We identify three key factors connected to the success of the QAnon narrative, these being, 1: An authentic message, created through both hidden and visible feedback. 2: An elastic and resilient narrative, formed through iterative interpretations of coded messages. 3: A tight knitted group-identity, reinforced by the self-classifying as underdogs.

The Alt-Right and Agenda Setting Theory : A study of online news outlets and magazinesWetzelaer, Luka January 2023 (has links)
The Alt-Right is a movement that became very mainstream and this article’s research is about how often the Alt-Right movement has been mentioned in online news articles and magazines. Previous articles have researched how the Alt-Right has spread its presence on online forums and social media pages, what is written on these online forums where the Alt-Right has a presence and what their main ideas and ideology is. However, this does not explain why the Alt-Right ever became mainstream and why news outlets started reporting on the movement. The method used to research how often the Alt-Right has been reported on by online news outlets and magazines is a corpus-case study. The two corpora used for this article are the Corpus of Contemporary American English and the News on the Web corpus. The theory used to discuss the findings of the article is Agenda Setting Theory. Contrary to what might be assumed, the Alt-Right has not only a presence in right-leaning media but is reported on by news outlets from all across the political spectrum, and some online news outlets and magazines stand out.

"Expropriation without compensation" : En kritisk diskursanalys av representationer i den folkfinansierade internetdokumentären Farmlands / ”Expropriation without compensation” : A critical discourse analysis of representations in the crowdfunded internet documentary FarmlandsLilljedahl, Carl-Magnus, Borg, Oscar January 2019 (has links)
Den här studien analyserar Lauren Southerns dokumentärfilm Farmlands, som skildrar konflikten mellan vita och mörkhyade om äganderätten till mark i Sydafrika. Vi analyserar Farmlands utifrån dess språkliga och visuella representationer av den vita respektive mörkhyade befolkningen. Filmen är producerad med hjälp av folkfinansiering (crowdfunding) och distribuerad på Youtube. Syftet är att undersöka vilka diskursiva medel som används och vad dessa har för konsekvens för hur de två grupperna framställs. För att undersöka detta har fyra sekvenser ur filmen valts ut och analyserats med kritisk diskursanalys (CDA) med multimodala inslag som teori och metod. Utöver CDA används teorier gällande dokumentärfilmens logik och förhållande till sanning och verkligheten. Resultatet av analysen visar att Farmlands diskursivt driver ett tydligt vi och de-narrativ som framställer den vita gruppen i rollen som offer och den mörkhyade gruppen som förövare. Filmen erbjuder tittaren en empatisk och personlig relation till de vita individerna medan de mörkhyade diskursivt avpersonifieras och distanseras. / This study analyses Lauren Southern’s crowdfunded doumentary Farmlands, which depicts the ongoing land disputes between the black and white population of South Africa. The analysis focuses on the various representations of the white and black population in South Africa. The production of the documentary was made possible with the help of crowdfunding before it was published on Youtube. The purpose of this study is to identify which discoursive tools Southern utilizes and how those tools shape the representations of the white and black population of South Africa. In order to do this we selected four sequences from the documentary which we then analyzed using critical discourse analysis (CDA) with multimodal features as both the method and theory. In addition to CDA, we also used theories of documentary logic and the relationship documentary film has with the concept of truth and reality. The result of the analysis shows that Farmlands discoursively enforces a we and them narrative which paints the white population as the victims and the black population as the perpetrators. The documentary offers the viewer an emphatic personal relationship with the white individuals seen in the documentary, while the black people in the documentary are, through Southern’s use of discoursive tools, dehumanized and made difficult to relate to.

When data crimes are real crimes: voter surveillance and the Cambridge Analytica conflictGordon, Jesse 28 August 2019 (has links)
This thesis asks what conditions elevated the Cambridge Analytica (CA) conflict
into a sustained and global political issue? Was this a privacy conflict and if so, how was
it framed as such? This work demonstrates that the public outcry to CA formed out of
three underlying structural conditions: The rise of the alt-right as an ideology,
surveillance capitalism, and a growing and unregulated voter analytics industry. A
network of actors seized the momentum of this conflict to drive the message that voter
surveillance is a threat to democratic elections. These actors humanized the CA conflict
and created a catalyst for a large scale public outrage to these previously ignored
structures. Their focus on democratic threat also allowed this conflict to transcend the
typical contours of a privacy conflict and demonstrate that the consequences of CA are
societal, rather than personal. Despite the democratic threat of voter surveillance, Canada
and the United States have yet to address the wider implications of voter surveillance
adequately. Thus, how these systems are used will be a question of central importance in
upcoming elections. / Graduate
