Inhalt: In unserem Beitrag steht mit #120db eine "Frauenrechts-Kampagne" der sogenannten "Identitären Bewegung" im Fokus. Die Identitären, die sich als Teil einer modernen rechten Bewegung inszenieren, nutzen vor allem digitale Medien im Zusammenspiel mit öffentlichkeitswirksamen Aktionen. Anhand einer Analyse des im Mittelpunkt der Kampagne #120db stehenden YouTube-Videos zeigen wir, wie die angeblichen Forderungen nach Frauen*rechten mit geschlechterbinären, rassistischen und antifeministischen Positionen verknüpft sind. Die zentralen Argumentationsmuster des Videos verorten wir im Rahmen von politischen und medialen Debatten, gesellschaftlichen Diskursen und kulturellen Deutungsmustern. Insbesondere finden sich im Video Bezüge zu Nationenund Kriegsdiskursen, zu ethnopluralistischen Positionen, zu medialen Inszenierungen im Kontext von Flucht und Migration sowie schließlich zu aktuellen Sicherheitsdebatten in Österreich. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Inhalte der Kampagne eng mit rechten Ideologien verknüpft sind, etwa im Hinblick auf völkische und identitätspolitische Diskurse. Darüber hinaus werden Gender, Migration und Gewalt verknüpft, um rassistische Politiken und Ausgrenzung zu legitimieren. Dies wird von einer De-Legitimierung und Abwertung feministischer Politiken begleitet.

Inhalt: Recent years have witnessed a surge in research on the impact of the cyberspace on social movements. The feminist movement has built a vocal platform online which attempts to underscore sexual violence against women. Scholars have begun to suspect that the internet has ushered in a new wave, the fourth wave of feminism. The fourth wave’s main feature is its reliance on social media. The accessibility, reach of a widespread audience, low costs and user-friendly environment have encouraged women to use social media to speak out against various forms of sexual violence directed against women. It is also assumed that going forward; the movement will also tackle issues such as the gender pay gap, neoliberal policies, maternity leave, and cultural sexism. Moreover, the internet-based movement is striving to bring to the fore the topic of intersectionality, that is, the intersection of oppressive institutions, and the attempt to rectify the failings of past waves by representing those oppressed by multiple institutions such as sexism, classism, and racism. This commentary provides an overview of the emerging academic literature on the fourth wave of feminism and critically reflects the lack of social realism in its existing form of knowledge production.

Inhalt: Avatars are growing in popularity and present in many interfaces used for computer-mediated communication (CMC) including social media, e-commerce, and education. Communication researchers have been investigating avatars for over twenty years, and an examination of this literature reveals similarities but also notable discrepancies in conceptual definitions. The goal of this review is to provide a general overview of current debates, methodological approaches, and trends in findings. Our review synthesizes previous research in four areas. First, we examine how scholars have conceptualized the term “avatar,” identify similarities and differences across these definitions, and recommend that scholars use the term consistently. Next, we review theoretical perspectives relevant to avatar perception (e.g., the computers as social actors framework). Then, we examine avatar characteristics that communicators use to discern the humanity and social potential of an avatar (anthropomorphism, form realism, behavioral realism, and perceived agency) and discuss implications for attributions and communication outcomes. We also review findings on the social categorization of avatars, such as when people apply categories like sex, gender, race, and ethnicity to their evaluations of digital representations. Finally, we examine research on avatar selection and design relevant to communication outcomes. Here, we review both motivations in CMC contexts (such as self-presentation and identity expression) and potential effects (e.g., persuasion). We conclude with a discussion of future directions for avatar research and propose that communication researchers consider avatars not just as a topic of study, but also as a tool for testing theories and understanding critical elements of human communication. Avatar mediated environments provide researchers with a number of advantageous technological affordances that can enable manipulations that may be difficult or inadvisable to execute in natural environments. We conclude by discussing the use of avatar research to extend communication theory and our understanding of communication processes.

Inhalt: Cultural anthropologist Arjun Appadurai’s theories about place link together various surrounding contexts: technology, media, economics, and ideology. He sees locality as a "complex phenomenological quality" (1996, p. 178) that we should not look at as context, but instead focus on how contexts define the boundaries of localities. Appadurai's theories help to link global and local by taking into account the various surrounding contexts: technology, media, economics, and ideology. This paper uses Appadurai's theory as a basis to explore how localities emerge in grassroots queer activist practices that combine offline and online tactics in their organizing. I use participant observation, in-depth interviews, and content analysis to gain an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of networked locality created by LGBTQ activists physically located in Southern United States.

Inhalt: Social media has emerged as an arena for political deliberation. Facebook, Twitter,
and WhatsApp are major platforms where political debates/deliberation take
place. This study was undertaken to investigate if attitude and perception towards
these online platforms for political deliberation differs for male and female. For
this purpose, a quantitative study was conducted using a structured questionnaire
among 400 students of a private university. The finding suggests that males are
more likely to be involved on political deliberation on social media than their
female counterparts. Also male students value social media as an arena for political
deliberation more than their female students.

Inhalt: The present work aims to analyze evidences of new identity procedures in Brazilian Pentecostalism, increasingly interpenetrated into the mediatization logics. Among the new procedures, the cyber Pentecostals assert themselves or establish themselves in the digital medias with a sense of an activist citizenship. Since it is a procedure that almost always seems to be autonomous and independent of institutional regulation, it also reaches the no churched: Pentecostals who left the temples for several reasons. For this analysis, we based ourselves in notions developed in the Latin current of Mediatization Studies, especially the works Eliseo Véron, Fausto Neto, Pedro Gomes and Luiz Braga. The corpus under analysis in the present article consist of posts of EIG (Evangélicas pela Igualdade de Gênero), a movement formed by/for women since 2015, mainly Pentecostals, aiming to promote discussions about the violence against woman.

Social Media, Gender and the Mediatisation of War: Exploring the German Armed Forces’ Visual Representation of the Afghanistan Operation on Facebook

Inhalt: Studies on the mediatisation of war point to attempts of governments to regulate the visual perspective of their involvements in armed conflict – the most notable example being the practice of ‘embedded reporting’ in Iraq and Afghanistan. This paper focuses on a different strategy of visual meaning-making, namely, the publication of images on social media by armed forces themselves. Specifically, we argue that the mediatisation of war literature could profit from an increased engagement with feminist research, both within Critical Security/Critical Military Studies and within Science and Technology Studies that highlight the close connection between masculinity, technology and control. The article examines the German military mission in Afghanistan as represented on the German armed forces’ official Facebook page. Germany constitutes an interesting, and largely neglected, case for the growing literature on the mediatisation of war: its strong antimilitarist political culture makes the representation of war particularly delicate. The paper examines specific representational patterns of Germany’s involvement in Afghanistan and discusses the implications which arise from what is placed inside the frame of visibility and what remains out of its view.

"Hate Speech" und Verletzbarkeit im digitalen Zeitalter: Phänomene mediatisierter Missachtung aus Perspektive der Gender Media Studies
Autor/in:
Eickelmann, Jennifer
Quelle: Bielefeld (Edition Medienwissenschaft, 46), 2017. 329 S
Inhalt: Die Debatten um Hate Speech im Internet zeugen von der Brisanz der Frage, welche Verletzungsmacht diffamierenden Adressierungen inhärent ist: Handelt es sich um einen rein zeichenhaften Ausdruck freier Rede oder um einen 'realen' Gewaltakt? Aus einer dualismuskritischen Perspektive entwickelt die Autorin ein Konzept mediatisierter Missachtung, das sich diesem Entweder-oder verweigert. Entlang materialreicher Analysen zeigt sie die Kontingenz dieser Kommunikationen im Spannungsfeld von Realität/Virtualität auf und legt dar, welche Bedeutung der Kategorie Gender und dem Medialen bei der Konstitution und Wirkmacht mediatisierter Missachtung zukommt.
