“…Precisely, in our study, “others” are communists and terrorists who want to steal “the progress” from the last thirty years in Chile. We found a similarity with Erdogan-Ozturk and Isik-Guler ( 2020 ) and their study in Turkey with refugees on Twitter. In Chile, there is no talk of the presence of refugees, but the common internal enemy identified in our research is the left and its derivatives (communist, Venezuelan, Cubans and Mapuches, all of them “terrorists”), which are signed in Twitter as the reason of the political crisis.…”

The concept of “politics of the end” assumes the catastrophe of living in a world that produces new forms of accumulation and allows symbolic and semiotic capital to create value. Currently, various far-right movements worldwide seem to appropriate this concept, employing radical communication strategies as a repertoire to contest the public agenda. These strategies include the massive creation of bots on social networks to spread hate speech and coordinate ideological manifestations. This article seeks to verify the use of these strategies by the Chilean far-right on Twitter. For the above, a social network analysis approach is proposed during the current socio-political crisis in Chile, which began with the massive protests of October 2019 and led to an unprecedented constituent process. For nine months, we studied five opinion leaders on Twitter from the Chilean far-right, who together have more than 600 thousand followers and almost 130 thousand followings. Through descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative techniques, an explicit political action “from the resistance” is revealed in the activity of the network, which includes hundreds of new users and coordinated bots to disseminate identifiable discourses with strongly ideological ideas. This coordination also presents identifiable differences in how opinion leaders interact and communicate with their network environment.

“…This to some extent is an emphasis on the foreignness of the hackers, accomplished by the use of negative other-representation strategy (Van Dijk, 1998). A vast literature shows that it functions as a widely used strategy in the discursive construction of exclusion (Erdogan-Ozturk and Isik-Guler, 2020; Reisigl and Wodak, 2001; Van Dijk, 2008, 2021). News is not a value-free reflection of facts (Fowler, 1991) but a portrayal of reality based on certain criteria and values to maintain particular interests (Kim, 2014).…”

This study draws on a synergy of Corpus Linguistics and Critical Discourse Studies to scrutinize the portrayal of hackers in China Daily and The New York Times in the 21st century (2001–2020), primarily revolving around the main social actors and targets in hacking. This study demonstrates that both media share a positive transformation of the image-building of hackers in the 21st century. Besides, countries are salient social actors in hacker media discourse and the two media differ in their ways of constructing them. The New York Times tends to have a negative other-representation and categorical otherness of specific countries through such discursive strategies as negative other-representation and group categorization, whereas China Daily is prone to insist on opposing the US hacking allegations in a defensive manner. Regarding major targets, China Daily highlights government websites whereas The New York Times emphasizes government websites, officials’ emails, large technology companies, and election infrastructure. The analysis shows that the two media’s different ways of framing hackers are underpinned by the ideologies behind them and the Chinese and US socio-political landscapes. This study can provide insights into how hacker discourse in media is represented in the 21st century and how national identities are constructed in the media representations of hackers.

“…It seems that social media play an increasingly important role in the construction of biased perceptions towards migrants and the reproduction of inequalities. An especially large body of work has demonstrated, for instance, that exclusionary rhetoric has been quite common on the Twitter platform during the refugee crisis and afterwards [14,23]. Even more so, the research has documented the widespread use of social media, including Facebook, by populist movements [24,25].…”

Discursive construction of migrant otherness on Facebook: A distributional semantics approach

The goal of this work is to study the social construction of migrant categories and immigration discourse on Swedish Facebook in the last decade. I combine the insights from computational linguistics and distributional semantics approach with those from classical sociological theories in order to explore a corpus of more than 1M Facebook posts. This allows to compare the intended meanings of various linguistic labels denoting voluntary versus forced character of migration, as well as to distinguish the most salient themes that constitute the Facebook discourse. The study concludes that, although Facebook seems to have the highest potential in the promotion of tolerance and support for migrants, its audience is nevertheless active in the discursive discrimination of those identified as "refugees" or "immigrants". The results of the study are then related to the technological design of new media and the overall social and political climate surrounding the Swedish immigration agenda.
