Analysing the importance of drill artists’ offline environment in the creation of violent online identities by Alexander, James

“…Within this study, young people’s violent online personas are a response to inhabiting a social space that developed due to a nexus of factors, including social deprivation, a lack of informal guardianship and the rules of the online attention economy. This digital dynamic sees artists competing for viewers’ limited attention by producing exaggerated violent depictions to show cultural competence and embodied street capital as they vie for attention in an antagonistic continuum with other groups. …”

“It's not just about the migrants.” Anti-immigrant discourse and co-opted marginality in the online public sphere by Emes, Claire Stravato

“…The findings suggest that anti-immigrant discourse on social media is complex; the overt expression of negativity (xenophobia) competes with claims that engage the authorities’ responsibility and typify citizens’ fears of marginalization. The results also raise questions about social media offering opportunities for potentially influential alternative counterpublic discourses connecting via emotions, expressing co-opted marginality. …”
