Summary Details

This paper investigates the extent to which misogynistic communication in digital spaces can be analyzed as a practice of hegemonic masculinity in Connell’s sense. The present analysis seeks to demonstrate how online communication practices operate as mechanisms of dominance and control by situating digital misogyny within the framework of masculinity studies. The study will also consider the limitations of applying Connell's pre-digital framework to contemporary digital environments. In particular, it will explore whether the concept of hegemonic masculinity requires adaptation in light of algorithmic structures, transnational discourses, and emergent forms of resistance. The present paper seeks to contribute to an understanding of how gendered power is reproduced and potentially contested in the digital age.

Das Paper untersucht, wie digitale Medien zur Reproduktion hegemonialer Männlichkeitsnormen beitragen und dadurch misogynistische Kommunikation online fördern. Basierend auf R. W. Connells Konzept der hegemonialen Männlichkeit wird gezeigt, dass Online-Hass, Cybermobbing und „Revenge Porn“ nicht bloß individuelle Handlungen sind, sondern Ausdruck struktureller Geschlechterhierarchien. Digitale Affordanzen wie Anonymität, Viralität und algorithmische Verstärkung begünstigen die Sichtbarkeit und Normalisierung solcher Praktiken. Anhand von Beispielen wie der „Manosphere“ und dem Fall Elliot Rodger wird deutlich, wie digitale Räume männliche Dominanz performativ festigen. Zugleich diskutiert das Paper die Verantwortung von Plattformen und die Notwendigkeit regulatorischer Maßnahmen, um hegemoniale Strukturen im Netz zu hinterfragen und sicherere Kommunikationsräume zu schaffen.
