ABSTRACT This small-scale study brings attention to the way the news media cover the enabling role of computer technology and social media in coalescing online communities focused on the hatred of women and the promotion of violence. While that aggression is ultimately and typically carried out against both women and men, it is specifically misogyny which underlies it. The way that the broader public receives information about incels – involuntary celebates with misogynistic and often violent tendencies – and their atrocities is through the news media, both traditional and internet. This study complements related research on misogynistic language used by social media sites like Reddit by examining the news media’s language in coverage of incels’ behavior associated with sexual aggression. The research applies qualitative procedures (textual analysis) and a critical feminist framework to identify the gender relations associated with incels online in news for the years 2018 and 2019.

ABSTRACT Mainstream US news coverage of #MeToo reprises some of the central limitations of news coverage of rape and sexual assault from prior decades. However, #MeToo coverage also includes some indications of the contributions of corporate culture and rape culture to the abuses of power that have taken place. Through a close analysis of New York Times and Washington Post coverage of two cases, those of Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, this article shows how most stories are framed from the point of view of the perpetrator or the organization of which he is a part. Following limitations of coverage in earlier eras, victims and their specific claims and experiences are quickly sidelined. Nonetheless, some stories name the problematic behaviors of perpetrators and discuss abuses of power and the role of corporate culture. These elements, while included, are dwarfed by the preponderance of coverage that is framed as centrally about either the accused or about the costs of his dismissal from the organization of which he was a part. In the context of this analysis, the final section of the article proposes several suggestions for improved coverage of #MeToo cases.

ABSTRACT This paper qualitatively analyzes tweets sent by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and responses to the tweets in the month leading up to his May 2019 electoral win. Several dominant rhetorical themes emerged from the analysis of the data, including Modi as omnipresent and Modi as an advocate for democracy who encourages voters to vote. The dominant theme that emerged from his supporter’s responses was Modi as a leader who supports Hindu nationalism or Hindutva. Both Modi and his supporters presented him as a strong leader who could stand up to Islamic terrorism and one who would invest in national security and India’s army. The author concludes that India’s democracy, under Modi’s leadership, is akin to what Argentinian political scientist Guillermo O’Donnell has termed delegative democracy. Delegative democracy is marked by extreme individualism of the leader, majoritarian politics, and minimal emphasis on democratic institutional building. In both Modi’s and his supporter’s Twitter rhetoric, there was no commitment to inclusive representation within or strengthening of democratic institutions, and while allowing for effective contestation in the form of elections, there was no evidence of respecting India’s traditional constitutional norms, such as secularism and respect for minority rights.

ABSTRACT Engaging in activities that allows social movement actors to share their memories with others helps keep the movement alive after achieving immediate goals. Many studies have focused on sharing movement memories situated within face to face settings. This study expands such a focus by investigating how the actors share the memories on new media platforms. Based on interview and observation data collected from peace movement actors in Ambon, Indonesia, this study found that Facebook, together with messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, facilitated the peace actors to reminisce their memories and recalibrate them in a post-movement phase. Hence, keeping the actors connected over time. Such a post-movement dynamic was feasible in part because of the presence of actors who actively posted meaningful events that triggered the other actors’ recollections, resulting in conversational threads, ideas for subsequent movements, and face-to-face meetings. The present findings have the potential to unfold nuances surrounding the continuity of new media enabled social movements.

ABSTRACT This study addresses communicative performances of Palestinian resistance through hip-hop as sites of resistance across the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Through theorizing cultural sites of performance, the author reflects four domains of resistance within Palestinian hip-hop while simultaneously weaving in her own performative voice. Thus, the goal is to create global connections and communication through performance with both the diasporic Palestinian population and Palestinians living inside Palestine in relation to larger dominant structures.
