Incels världsåskådning. Hur många Elliot Rodger finns på ett incelforum? [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textSkriftlig kommunikation från två typer av Reddit forum - Incels och Politics - jämfördes med varandra och med massmördaren Elliot Rodgers skriftliga manifest. Onlinespråk analyserades med LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry Word Count). Data analyserades med ROC-curve och AUC-curve. Linguistiska variabler som var respresentativa för en incel världsåskådning identifierades, en världsåskådning med socio-biologiska, pseudovetenskapliga teorier och negativa antaganden, uttryckta med ett tydligt stereotypiskt dehumaniserande språk, speciellt gällande kvinnor. Detta är i linje med tidigare studier av incels typiska lingvistiska och psykologiska begrepp. ICC (Intraclass correlation coefficient) användes för att undersöka likheter mellan incels, politics och Elliot Rodger. Det fanns stöd för en viss skillnad o absoluta skillnader mellan Incels och Elliot Rodger å ena sidan och Politics och Elliot Rodger å den andra. Incels visade likheter med Elliot Rodger och använde språk som tidigare forskning identifierat som riskbeteende, kopplat till ensamma våldsverkare. Resultaten är preliminära men visar att det finns behov av ytterligare forskning om incels språk och psykologi, för att medverka till att identifiera individer som riskerar att begå våldsamma brott

An Inconsummate Man: The Violent Dramaturgy of Elliot Rodger
Get PDFUnable to perform the perceived demands of his gender—unable to have sex—in 2014 the incel Elliot Rodger devised a performance of ruthless cruelty. His mass murder, a now habituated performance of US American masculinity, was preceded by an autobiographical text. Recounting his pursuit of a consummate manhood, Rodger’s manifesto reveals the consequential movement from narrative to performance, from genre to gender, from a discourse of discontent to a violent dramaturgy of masculinity
STRAIN, COPING AND VIOLENCE IN THE CASE OF ELLIOT RODGER : A QUALITATIVE CONTENT ANALYSIS
No full textElliot Rodger, a 22-year-old student, carried out the Day of Retribution in Isla Vista, California, leaving six dead and fourteen wounded, before taking his own life. There here have been numerous attempts to explain his behavior including claims of him having features of autism spectrum disorder, traits of psychopathy and psychotic symptoms, narcissism, depression, fragile masculinity, and deviant sexual fantasies. This study examines the link between strain, coping and violence, based on General Strain Theory, using a qualitative content analysis of Elliot’s manifesto, My Twisted World: The Story of Elliot Rodger. The results indicate that Elliot experienced multiple sources of strain in his life and that he lacked adequate coping skills, which affected his perceptions of and interactions with the world. He experienced isolation, frustration and anger. These negative emotions together with his sense of entitlement intensified over the years, creating desire for revenge and justifying use of extreme violence as an attempt to eliminate strain and find relief.

His Twisted World: An Analysis of Elliot Rodger and Inceldom Through Life-Course Theory
Get PDFIncels are an online subculture of young men who espouse misogynistic and nihilistic worldviews and experience significant mental health challenges. This thesis analyzes contemporary scholarship on incels to provide a meta-level overview of the theories and approaches applied to incels. A significant finding is the determination that most scholarship analyzes inceldom from three perspectives which share an emphasis on responding to or classifying the phenomena. As a result, I draw from comparative human development to present life-course theory as an alternative approach to analyzing incels. Life-course theory may help illuminate hereto unidentified or underappreciated components of incel experiences and present pathways for conceptualizing a need for the prevention of inceldom, rather than simply a response to inceldom. The second half of the paper applies life-course theory to the case of Elliot Rodger, the first legitimate perpetrator of incel-related violence, using his positionality within incel mythos to articulate how developmental experiences which include familial instability, “off-time” social development, and ineffective interventions contributed to his pathway to incel philosophies. This analysis includes a queer reading of Rodger’s text to highlight potentially repressed queer sexuality as a significantly overlooked possibility in contemporary analyses of Rodger and inceldom more broadly. This paper culminates with recommendations for future research and practical engagements with the subculture and its participants

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
