Digital Culture & Education, 12(1), 1-25 URL: https://www.digitalcultureandeducation.com/volume-12 PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ARTICLE The New Right on American Campuses: Challenges for Higher Education THE NEW RIGHT ON AMERICAN CAMPUSES: CHALLENGES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION Barbara Franz Abstract: This paper arises out of a very contemporary problem that is plaguing higher education: how the notion of ‘free speech’ is being misused to hamper truly scholarly debate and encourage hate and fear primarily through misinformation. To understand how this issue has arisen and become important, the paper explores the origins and growth of a loose group of disgruntled pro-white far-right reactionaries (DPWFRR), who market themselves using the term ‘Alt Right.’ Free speech is but one of many of their ‘concerns’ and perhaps not a central one. The intellectual ambitions and financial foundations of these groups on the one hand and the identity needs of young people on the other hand serve as explanatory frameworks to understand the attraction of students to the DPWFRR’s digital networks. This paper reveals the underlying depth of the problem and suggests that institutions and staff have a clear (though difficult) path ahead if there is to be a powerful and effective revolt against this popular reactionary right-wing network.

Trump MERZ, Céline Abstract À travers une étude empirique mixte, associant l'analyse de contenu et l'analyse du discours, nous nous intéressons dans cette étude aux femmes politiques, telles qu'elles sont « parlées » par le président américain Donald Trump sur le réseau socionumérique Twitter. Ainsi, ce travail propose d'analyser le langage du président américain Donald Trump sur Twitter envers les femmes politiques sur une période de deux années à partir de son investiture, en s'appuyant sur les concepts de communication incivile et d'injures sexistes, respectivement développés par Ott (2017) et Oger (2006).

    SUBSCRIBE NEWS & CULTURE Post-Weinstein, These Are the Powerful Men Facing Sexual Harassment Allegations 91 PHOTOS BY GLAMOUR SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 2:30 PM After The New York Times published an explosive report in October 2017 detailing decades of sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein, dozens of women came forward with their own accusations against the Hollywood mogul. Within a week Weinstein had been fired from his company and expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. RELATED: The Problem with Privilege and Sexual Assault Now, in a post-Weinstein world, legions of women have felt empowered to speak out and share their own #MeToo stories—both on social media and in news outlets. The reports against the powerful producer sparked an avalanche of accusations against high-profile men in media, politics, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood, all with varying degrees of repercussions. Sexual harassment in the workplace is certainly nothing new, but it’s safe to say the issue is now, rightfully, taking center stage.
