“…Fürsich (2009) suggests textual analysis in the context of media texts ‘present a distinctive discursive moment between encoding and decoding that justifies special scholarly engagement’ (p. 238). Papacharissi (2004), Sotillo and Starace-Nastasi (1999), and Vultee (2012), all conducted textual analysis by breaking content into general themes. Vultee (2012) collected comments on foxnews.com as he searched for and categorized fantasy themes associated with the Tea Party Movement.…”

This exploratory study examined a news episode in a single market as a case study aimed at teasing out elements associated with journalism and audience convergence. This study found four conditions present when the audience converged. The conditions were a spark, or ignition event, that has the potential to arouse dialogue, journalism that makes the broader public aware of such an event, a sufficient mass of audience commentary to create debate, and a channel through which the debate can occur. This process represents a convergence of different public spheres, where audiences overlap and interact across platforms, taking with them bits and pieces from other public spheres to create a new one, a converged conversation. Further, this study found that audience convergence stayed within the confines of the journalism channels that offered initial coverage of the event, suggesting journalism as a key element in the creation of such a space, but, once created, journalism is no longer the curator.

“…This is not unique to Russia linguistic technique. In the US, one of the very common insults in conservative and white nationalist milieu is ‘libtard’ – a liberal retard (Vultee, 2012; Zhang, 2018). Another insult included an alteration of the word ‘svidomye’ (a Soviet-era nickname for supporters of the Ukrainian nationalist movement), which in blogs often becomes ‘svidomity’, associating it with ‘sodomy’.…”

The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 was a culmination of anti-Ukrainian rhetoric that Russian political elite and state-controlled media have been promoting at least since 2013. Apart from accusing Ukraine of being a Neo-Nazi state, pro-Kremlin commentators have espoused a heavily gendered rhetoric describing Ukraine as a loose woman in need of saving by its older brother. Gendered discourse was instrumentalized in Russian foreign policy not only through aggressive masculinity, but also through femininity. The latter, in contrast, sought to downplay the aggressive masculinity associated with fascism and consequently diminish Ukraine’s agency and status compared to Russia. This article offers a taxonomy of feminization rhetoric that shows how different types of gendered constructs influence the success of securitization process. Drawing on empirical material from Russian social networks during the first war in Ukraine in 2014–2016, this article argues against gender’s silencing role but, instead, its central role in influencing every stage of securitization process. Moreover, the author shows how feminization rhetoric paved the way to the legitimation of the current war.
