This article is a systematic review of previous research on hate speech in discourse studies indexed in the Scopus database in the last five years, from 2015 to 2021. This review aims to map the main topics and methods used in hate speech studies and then provide critical remarks related to the methodological issues. The review focused on 70 selected articles and was analyzed using the NVivo 12 combined with the LancsBox 6.0. Based on the analysis, previous studies show a strong relationship between hate speech, political issues, and discrimination. Although many studies of hate speech have applied the CDA approach, and some of them have used sociocognitive CDA, it is surprising and unfortunate that previous researchers did not show much attention and further exploration of the cognitive aspects of the theory itself. It means that the cognitive aspects of hate speech have yet to be appropriately explored.

“…La construcción de dichos contrarrelatos, sin embargo, no es sencilla. Se trata de un proceso comunicativo que genera conflicto y controversia (Sponholz, 2016), que requiere no sólo pensamiento y habilidades críticas (Gagliardone et al, 2015), sino también empatía y capacidad comunicativa (Tesconi, 2020 en González, 2020). Sponholz (2016) alerta de la complejidad de los contrarrelatos, que muchas veces escapa de las expectativas sociales que se generan sobre la capacidad argumentativa:…”

Los relatos del odio son discursos creados contra personas y colectivos. Generan discriminación a partir del estigma, la generalización y la exclusión de la convivencia social. En la era digital la educación es clave para que la formación de una ciudadanía crítica pueda deconstruir los relatos del odio que se difunden online, así como reconstruirlos como contrarrelatos. El presente estudio analiza las competencias para la interpretación crítica de la información digital de 307 alumnos y alumnas de Educación Secundaria ante relatos del odio presentes en las redes sociales. Los resultados muestran un rechazo general hacia los relatos racistas y discriminatorios. A pesar de todo, se detectan dificultades importantes para aportar conocimientos sobre los contextos y para construir contrarrelatos. Por otro lado, una minoría del alumnado se muestra de acuerdo con estos discursos discriminatorios.

“…On the one hand, the act of confronting online aggression can result in negative or even dangerous experiences for the counter speaker (Blaya, 2018). On the other hand, counterspeech can provoke unwanted side effects when counter speakers do not adhere to civic and moral standards themselves (Rieger, Schmitt, & Frischlich, 2018); consequently, it risks providing hateful content with relevance, "discussability," and thus better discourse quality (Sponholz, 2016). Essentially, organized practices of counterspeech, like the ones explored in this article, are based on the assumption that we may successfully counter hate speech with more (democratic) speech.…”

An increasingly organized culture of hate is flourishing in today’s online spaces, posing a serious challenge for democratic societies. Our study seeks to unravel the workings of online hate on popular social media and assess the practices, potentialities, and limitations of organized counterspeech to stymie the spread of hate online. This article is based on a case study of an organized “troll army” of online hate speech in Germany, Reconquista Germanica, and the counterspeech initiative Reconquista Internet. Conducting a qualitative content analysis, we first unpack the strategies and stated intentions behind organized hate speech and counterspeech groups as articulated in their internal strategic documents. We then explore how and to what extent such strategies take shape in online media practices, focusing on the interplay between users spreading hate and users counterspeaking in the comment sections of German news articles on Facebook. The analysis draws on a multi-dimensional framework for studying social media engagement (Uldam & Kaun, 2019) with a focus on practices and discourses and turns to Mouffe’s (2005) concepts of political antagonism and agonism to operationalize and deepen the discursive dimension. The study shows that the interactions between the two opposing camps are highly moralized, reflecting a post-political antagonistic battle between “good” and “evil” and showing limited signs of the potentials of counterspeech to foster productive agonism. The empirical data indicates that despite the promising intentions of rule-guided counterspeech, the counter efforts identified and scrutinized in this study predominantly fail to adhere to civic and moral standards and thus only spur on the destructive dynamics of digital hate culture.
