Zusammenfassung
In diesem Artikel unterscheiden wir mehrere Kernmerkmale alternativer linker Medien und alt-rechter Medien und stellen acht Mechanismen des Verrutschens dar, die wir in drei Formen einteilen: ideologische diskursive Aneignung (postmoderne Subjekte, das intellektuelle Dark Web, Intersektionalität); Umkehrung (sichere Räume und Beschwerden) und Warenkooptation (Nachahmung der Underground-Ästhetik, Astroturfing und koordiniertes unauthentisches Verhalten im Internet). Wir stärken den Stellenwert einer dauerhaften Bedeutung der Offline-Organisation in transformativen intersektionalen alternativen Medienpraktiken, bei denen starke Beziehungen die Gemeinschaft, die Tiefe affektiver Arbeit und eine positive soziale Transformation stärken.
Abstract
In this paper, we distinguish between several key features of alternative left media and alt-right media, mapping eight mechanisms of slippage that we categorize into three forms: ideological discursive appropriation (postmodern subjects, the intellectual dark web, intersectionality); reversal capture (safe spaces and complaints); and commodity cooptation (mimicking underground aesthetics, astroturfing, and coordinated inauthentic behaviour online). We argue for the enduring significance of offline organization in transformative intersectional alternative media practices, where supporting strong relationships potentiates community, depth of affective labour, and positive social transformation.
