ABSTRACT Compared to racist and ethnicist discourses, literature on sexist discourses – both off and on-line – as hate speech is relatively underinvestigated. This is partly due to the tendency to minimise accusations of sexism and to reframe misogyny as ‘acceptable’ by constructing it as a form of humour. We decided to focus on slut-shaming, one of the most virulent forms of hate speech, which has always existed but was boosted by social media, becoming a stable low-cost ingredient of today’s rape culture. We propose to consider online slut-shaming as a form of ‘technology-facilitated sexual violence’, where digital technologies are used to facilitate both virtual and face-to-face sexually based harms. According to feminist analysis of sexual violence, this would be a matter of power rather than sex: sex would be the weapon, not the motive. We have tested this research hypothesis by focusing on the Italian reception of the MeToo campaign, triggered by Asia Argento’s denunciation. More specifically, two Different Twitter corpora produced within the same five months period were examined by means of a quantitative and a qualitative methodology.

让女性回到原来的位置。对荡妇羞辱的反思，意大利的亚洲 Argento 和 Twitter 案例

摘要 与种族主义和民族主义话语相比，关于性别歧视话语的文献——包括线下和在线——作为仇恨言论的调查相对不足。这部分是由于倾向于尽量减少对性别歧视的指控，并将厌女症重新定义为“可接受的”，将其构建为一种幽默形式。我们决定关注荡妇羞辱，这是一种最恶毒的仇恨言论形式，它一直存在，但受到社交媒体的推动，成为当今强奸文化的一种稳定的低成本成分。我们建议将在线荡妇羞辱视为一种“技术促进性暴力”形式，其中数字技术被用于促进虚拟和面对面的基于性的伤害。根据女权主义对性暴力的分析，这将是权力问题而不是性问题：性是武器，而不是动机。我们通过关注由 Asia Argento 的谴责引发的意大利对 MeToo 运动的接受来检验这一研究假设。更具体地说，通过定量和定性方法检查了在同一五个月内产生的两个不同的 Twitter 语料库。
