In this presentation, Mariella Popolla explores the relationship between the manosphere and digital gender-based violence, examining how online communities can shape attitudes, identities, and behaviours in contemporary digital spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The talk begins by introducing the manosphere and its various online networks, discussing how it can be understood as a form of social and cultural backlash to changing gender norms. It also examines the manosphere as an emotional community, where shared narratives, grievances, and experiences help foster a sense of belonging among participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The presentation then investigates the links between manosphere discourse and digital gender-based violence, highlighting different forms of online abuse and harassment and the ways in which digital platforms can amplify harmful content. Particular attention is given to how online environments may contribute to the normalization and spread of gender-based hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the talk considers the impact of these dynamics on younger generations, exploring issues of victimhood, online vulnerability, and secondary victimization. By connecting digital cultures, platform structures, and lived experiences, the presentation offers valuable insights into the challenges of addressing gender-based violence in the digital age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","video_tag":[611,907],"class_list":["post-92814","video","type-video","status-publish","hentry","video_tag-edi","video_tag-meet-the-expert"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
