>Mining the Chans: Exposing the Visual and Linguistic Dynamics of Radicalisation in Far-right Image-boards (MineChans)
The MineChans project seeks to expose and analyse the visual and linguistic practices of two image-boards (4Chan/pol, 8Chan) that play a central role in the emergence and cementing of a new transnational far-right subculture linked to several recent instances of terrorism.
>Combining cutting-edge computer-assisted content analysis of the full textual and visual content of these forums with an in-depth interpretive examination of sampled threads, this project will enhance the understanding of how these websites relate to extremism and unlock new possibilities of counter-extremism/terrorism interventions for governments.
The project is therefore anchored in – and will further strengthen – two fields of analysis. First, the project is situated in a growing scholarship concerned with the impact of images on the dynamics of political communication, affiliation, militancy, and extremism. Second, MineChans connects with the well-established (yet in some respects fragmented) literature on radicalisation, specifically scholarship focusing on the role played by visual communication in these processes.
