Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

The proposed panel invites a selected number of scholars from across the world
to discuss the latest empirical findings, methodologies and theoretical
frameworks to understand the phenomenon of online hostility. The panel will
represent an arena to share and discuss insights on how embedded social and
power relations are organized through digital technologies and how the
phenomenon of online hostility is impacting on equality and participation in
the cybersphere.

At the same time, while the topics of online hostility, disinformation and
extremism have been receiving growing attention throughout recent years, the
potential of counter-voices on the part of individual actors and communities
has not been taken into equal scholarly consideration. This panel aims at
providing room also for research on the many emerging counter-discourses and
grassroots counter-measures against hateful and exclusionary behaviours in the
cybersphere.


Call for Papers:

We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled Global Discourses (and
Counter-Discourses) of Hostility in the Social Media Age, to be proposed as
part of the ESTIDIA (European Society for Transcultural and Interdisciplinary
Dialogue) Conference, to be held on 19-21 September 2019 at the University of
Naples L’Orientale, Italy.

Comparative studies across different languages, socio-political contexts and
social media platforms are particularly welcome. Possible topics include, but
are by no means limited to, the following aspects:

Online Hostility as an Intersectional Phenomenon
The intertwined impact of socioculturally constructed categorizations in
digital exclusionary and abusive behaviours, such as: Gender / Sexual
Orientation;  Race /  Ethnicity /  Religion; Class; Age/Generation;
Dis/Ability

Counter-Discourses to Online Hostility
Online Communities of Resistance, Resilience and Solidarity
Grassroot Initiatives for Awareness, Education and Prevention
Feminist Community-building and Digilantism
Hashtag Activism (e.g. #Metoo; #ShoutYourAbortion; #TakeAKnee; #WhyIStayed…)
Online Misogyny and Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence
Discursive Strategies and Rhetorical Devices of Online Misogyny
Image-Based Harassment and Visual Misogyny
Digitally-mediated Rape Culture
Misogyny against Women in Political or Institutional Roles
The Manosphere (e.g. Redpill Philosophy; Incel Communities; Toxic
Masculinities…)
Theoretical Models and Methodological Approaches
Collection and Storage of Data
Software and Tools for Data Collection and Analysis
Small and Big Data
Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed-Method Approaches
Discourse-based and Ethnographic Approaches
Opinion Mining & Sentiment Analysis
Social Network Analysis
Ethics Issues
 
Abstracts are to be sent as MS Word attachment to the Panel Organizer:
onlinehostility at gmail.com

All abstracts should include the name, institutional affiliation and email
address of the author(s), the paper title, and four-five keywords. The
abstract should be approximately 500 words in length (excluding references).
All abstracts will be peer-reviewed according to the following criteria:
originality and/or importance of topic; clarity of research question and
purpose; data sources; theoretical approach; analytical focus; relevance of
findings if already available.

Submissions are due by 1 April 2019. Notification of acceptance to the panel
will be sent by 15 April 2019.

We encourage abstract submissions from Early-Career Researchers, including
postgraduate research students and postdoctoral researchers.

All accepted papers to the conference (following editorial review) will be
included in the conference proceedings published in International Journal of
Cross-Cultural Studies and Environmental Communication (ISSN 2285 – 3324). It
is also intended that papers accepted to the panel are collected in a
thematically arranged volume to be submitted to an international publisher.
