Abstract

ABSTRACT We inquire into different perspectives and patterns of problematizing online hate speech within the social sciences from a systems-theoretical perspective. Our results identify five different research perspectives adopted by studies on the issue: (1) systematic perspectives on problems of operationalizing (online) hate speech; (2) intentionalist perspectives on actors and their motives; (3) consequentialist perspectives on victims of online hate speech; (4) perspectives on media affordances, infrastructures, and strategies of online hate speech; and finally, (5) normative perspectives on the consequences of online hate speech. Additionally, we want to propose a functionalist perspective on hate communication and, for this purpose, develop a systems-theoretical and media-sociological framework for analyzing online hate speech. A systems-theoretical perspective connects to a process-oriented paradigm of doing hate speech. Instead of asking what hate speech is, a systems-theoretical framework focuses on how different communicative contextures empirically produce different understandings of hate communication. We will make four research proposals: We will (1) conceptualize hate as hate communication, then proceed to (2) analyze different communicative contextures, (3) develop media archeology of negation and conflict communication, and finally (4) focus on the function of conflict and hate communication for the emergence of (counter-)publics.

仇恨的背景:社交媒体平台上仇恨传播的系统理论
本文从系统理论的角度探讨了社会科学中网络仇恨言论问题化的不同视角和模式。我们的研究结果确定了研究这一问题所采用的五种不同的研究视角:(1)系统地看待(在线)仇恨言论的操作问题;(2)行为者及其动机的意向主义视角;(3)网络仇恨言论受害者的结果主义视角;(4)对网络仇恨言论的媒体支持、基础设施和策略的看法;最后,(5)关于网络仇恨言论后果的规范性观点。此外,我们想提出一个功能主义的观点来看待仇恨传播,并为此目的,开发一个系统理论和媒体社会学框架来分析在线仇恨言论。一个系统理论的视角连接到一个过程导向的范式做仇恨言论。系统理论框架不是问什么是仇恨言论,而是关注不同的交际背景如何在经验上产生对仇恨传播的不同理解。我们将提出四个研究建议:我们将(1)将仇恨概念化为仇恨传播,然后(2)分析不同的传播情境,(3)发展否定和冲突传播的媒体考古学,最后(4)关注冲突和仇恨传播对(反)公众的出现的作用。
