  • Esposito & Zollo: “How Dare You Call Her a Pig, I
    “How dare you call her a pig, I know several pigs who would be upset if they knew”* A multimodal critical discursive approach to online misogyny against UK MPs on YouTube Eleonora Esposito and Sole Alba Zollo University of Navarra, Spain | University of Napoli Federico II, Italy On the occasion of the 2017 UK election campaign, Amnesty International conducted a large-scale, sentiment-based analysis of online hate speech against women MPs on Twitter (Dhrodia 2018), identifying the “Top 5” most attacked women MPs as Diane Abbott, Joanna Cherry, Emily Thornberry, Jess Phillips and Anna Soubry. Taking Amnesty International’s results as a starting point, this paper investigates online misogyny against the “Top 5” women MPs, with a specific focus on the video-sharing platform YouΤube, whose loosely censored cyberspace is known as a breeding ground for antagonism, impunity and disinhibition (Pihlaja 2014), and, therefore, merits investigation. By collecting and analysing a corpus of YouTube multimodal data we explore, critique and contextualize online misogyny as a techno-social phenomenon applying a Social Media Critical Discourse Studies (SM-CDS) approach (KhosraviNik and Esposito 2018). Mapping a vast array of discursive strategies, this study offers an in-depth analysis on how technology-facilitated gender-based violence contributes to discursively constructing the political arena as a fundamentally male-oriented space, and reinforces stereotypical and sexist representation of women in politics and beyond. Keywords: women MPs, misogyny, YouTube, multimodality, social media, Critical Discourse Studies * The authors discussed and conceived the paper jointly.Eleonora Esposito is responsible for Sections 2, 3.1 and 4.1 and Sole Alba Zollo is responsible for Sections 1, 3.2, 4.2 and 5.

  • 1 Andrew Marr Show, Jess Phillips, Mp
    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, JESS PHILLIPS, MP ANDREW MARR SHOW, 5TH JANUARY, 2020 JESS PHILLIPS, MP AM: That is the big question, isn’t it really? It’s only a poll, but in a poll of Labour members only 12% said that they would back you. Much bigger numbers for some of your rivals. Can you move from your position to a position where you can actually win the Labour leadership? JP: Well look, I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think that that was possible. I think that if we don’t listen to what happened in the last General Election, but the last four General Elections and really think about how we have got to try and make the Labour Party win power again, if we carry on having this conversation about which bit of the party people come from and constantly harking back to the past, whether it’s the Blair government, the Brown government or the Corbyn administration, we’re not learning the lesson that the country has told us. So I actually think that the truth is that I can win the backing of lots of the Labour members from all different areas of the party. AM: So let’s look at the lesson. What is the lesson from the country you take from this election defeat in particular? What was the single thing or several things that produced this terrible result for you? JP: There wasn’t one single thing you know. There’s been a huge amount of talk you know was it Jeremy Corbyn, was it Brexit? Was it the manifesto? The truth is – AN: All of those three things it might have been.

  • Race and Religion in Online Abuse Towards UK Politicians: Working Paper
    Race and Religion in Online Abuse towards UK Politicians: Working Paper Genevieve Gorrell, Mehmet E. Bakir, Mark A. Greenwood, Ian Roberts and Kalina Bontcheva The University of Sheffield, UK ARTICLE HISTORY Compiled October 25, 2019 ABSTRACT Against a backdrop of tensions related to EU membership, we find levels of online abuse toward UK MPs reach a new high. Race and religion have become pressing topics globally, and in the UK this interacts with \Brexit" and the rise of social media to create a complex social climate in which much can be learned about evolving attitudes. In 8 million tweets by and to UK MPs in the first half of 2019, religious intolerance scandals in the UK's two main political parties attracted significant attention. Furthermore, high profile ethnic minority MPs started conversations on Twitter about race and religion, the responses to which provide a valuable source of insight. We found a significant presence for disturbing racial and religious abuse. We also explore metrics relating to abuse patterns, which may affect its impact. We find \burstiness" of abuse doesn't depend on race or gender, but individual factors may lead to politicians having very different experiences online. KEYWORDS Social media; Twitter; politics; online abuse; racism; religious intolerance 1. Introduction There is little doubt that the rise in social media usage is having far-reaching effects on society (e.g. Milan, 2015), creating a need for vigilant commentary as the landscape shifts on almost a daily basis, in order to resist pernicious effects. Globally we have seen a rise in populism, fuelled by social media (Engesser, Ernst, Esser, & B¨uchel, 2017).

    WHEN DOES HE SPEAK FOR SHE? MEN REPRESENTING WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT By MARY K. NUGENT A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science Written under the direction of Mona Lena Krook And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION When Does He Speak for She? Men Representing Women in Parliament. by MARY K. NUGENT Dissertation Director: Mona Lena Krook This project develops our understanding of the representation of women’s interests in politics by considering the role that men can play in advancing the substantive representation of women (SRW). I draw on the case of the United Kingdom Parliament, which over the last three decades has seen significant changes in the sex balance of Members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons. Using quantitative analysis of two legislative activities – Early Day Motions, and the annual International Women’s Day Debates – I first establish the patterns of men’s engagement in SRW. I argue that men’s role in representation women can be understood as what I term an “ancillary representatives” for women, which is a role that draws on a vantage point not accessible to women to help advance the SRW, while also remains secondary to women’s leadership role. The role played by men remains fairly consistent over time, with some evidence of a mainstreaming of women’s issues over time as the number of women in politics ii increases.

  • Jess Phillips
    Jess Phillips MP for Birmingham Yardley 2015- Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding April 2020- 4 December 2020 Arriving in Westminster UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): When you were elected in May 2015, did you think, ‘Okay, this is going to be a Parliament that is going to be dominated by the referendum on Europe’? Jess Phillips (JP): Not at all. This is a terrible thing to admit, but I’m going to say it, I’d be happy to stand by it. I think I even missed, in the 2015 election, that the Tories had even made a manifesto pledge to have a referendum. It’s hard to remember, because there is so much water under the bridge and so much has changed. It certainly was never something that anyone said to me on the doorstep in the 2015 general election. It was not a thing I campaigned for or against or had really any opinion, going into Parliament, about. Certainly, it would never have been a feature of anything that I was saying, in order to be elected, and it wasn’t something that I was ever asked about. So, no, I didn’t expect for Europe even to be a major factor in what I was going to be doing in Parliament then. UKICE: And then, obviously immediately after the election, Ed Miliband stood down and there was a Labour leadership contest. I just wondered whether Europe featured at all in that? In particular, when it looked as though Jeremy Page 1/20 Corbyn was in with a shout, whether you felt his position on Europe was a big issue at all in that leadership contest? JP: Not that I can remember.
