“…More fringe genres, like White Power music, postulate that whites are being undermined by internationalist conspiracies (Corte & Edwards, ). White power musicians see themselves as victims and attempt to explain their own lack of success as the result of multicultural conspiracies (see also Johnson [] on the radicalization of white men with conspiracy theories).…”

Scholarly efforts to understand conspiracy theories have grown significantly in recent years, and there is now a broad and interdisciplinary literature. In reviewing this body of work, we ask three specific questions. First, what factors are associated with conspiracy beliefs? Our review of the literature shows that conspiracy beliefs result from a range of psychological, political, and social factors. Next, how are conspiracy theories communicated? Here, we explain how conspiracy theories are shared among individuals and spread through traditional and social media platforms. Next, what are the societal risks and rewards associated with conspiracy theories? By focusing on politics and science, we argue that conspiracy theories do more harm than good. We conclude by suggesting several promising avenues for future research.

“…Ora, aquilo que "dá vistas" tende a "dar nas vistas" e por isso tende a ser mais seguido, comentado, partilhado. É este o segredo das estratégias "caça-clique" que estão por detrás de "Fake News", "teorias da conspiração" e outras informações do reino do fantástico, servindo sobretudo para capturar a atenção (Johnson, 2018).…”

Impactos da captologia. Problemáticas, desafios e algumas consequências do “dar vistas” ao ecrã em rede

Atualizando o estado da arte sobre problemáticas, desafios e consequências da era digital, este artigo indicia que dar "vistas" ao ecrã em rede se tornou cada vez mais um ato perigoso. Algoritmos e estratégias de indução de comportamentos e opiniões estão ao serviço de um "mercado da atenção". Grandes empresas do setor digital especializaram-se no domínio da atenção, no aprisionamento dos sujeitos ao ecrã. Diversas teorias e efeitos foram aplicados a algoritmos e a esquemas interativos que orientam os sujeitos não apenas em direção à informação ou ao ócio como também a impactos e consequências psicossociais que se tornam problemáticas para a saúde, social e mental. Além disso, ao listar um conjunto de consequências geradas pela era digital (e.g., ensombrecimento, nomofobia, phubbing, atazagorafobia, etc.), este artigo problematiza e compila estas e outras ameaças e impactos sublinhando a importância de se considerar o ato de "dar vistas ao ecrã em rede" um poderoso e complexo "actante", imprevisível na individuação sociotécnica.

“…This call has already been taken up in some quarters. For instance, Wodak (2015) discusses the politics of patriarchy in relation to right-wing nationalism, while Johnson (2018) and Norocel et al (2018) examine the radicalization of white men and the discursive construction of white Nordic masculinities in right-wing populist media respectively. A number of scholars have also tackled the intersection of masculinity and militarization, including Disler (2005), Kennard (2006), and Marcellino (2014), who examine the links between language and masculinity in the US Air Force and the US Marines.…”

Language and Masculinities: History, Development, and Future

In the past two decades, the field of language and masculinities studies has become an established part of language, gender, and sexuality research, growing in response to concerns about the limited criticality directed toward men and masculinities in sociolinguistics. In doing so, the field has added to the conceptual and theoretical tool kit of sociolinguistics, furthering both our understanding of the linguistic strategies used by men in a variety of contexts and the myriad links connecting language and the social performance of gender. This review surveys the historical trajectory of scholarship broadly concerned with men, masculinities, and language and charts its development from more critical work on men and masculinities within sociology to its emergence as an independent field of inquiry. I outline some of the key contributions this body of work has made to sociolinguistic theory, methodology, and knowledge and suggest some future research directions through which the field may engage with contemporary social issues.
