In this book, Andrew Brindle analyzes a corpus of texts taken from
a white supremacist web forum which refer to the subject of
homosexuality, drawing conclusions about the discourses of
extremism and the dissemination of far-right hate speech online.
The website from which Brindle's corpus is drawn, Stormfront, has
been described as the most powerful active influence in the White
Nationalist movement (Kim 2005). Through a linguistic analysis of
the data combining corpus linguistic methodologies and a critical
discourse analysis approach, Brindle examines the language used to
construct heterosexual, white masculinities, as well as posters'
representations of gay men, racial minorities and other out-groups,
and how such groups are associated by the in-group. Brindle applies
three types of analysis to the corpus: a corpus-driven approach
centered on the study of frequency, keywords, collocation and
concordance analyses; a detailed qualitative study of posts from
the forum and the threads in which they are located; and a
corpus-based approach which combines the corpus linguistic and
qualitative analyses. The analysis of the data demonstrates a
convergence of reactionary responses to not only women, gay men and
lesbians, but also to racial minorities. Brindle's findings suggest
that due to the forum format of the data, topics are discussed and
negotiated rather than dictated unilaterally as would be the case
in a hierarchical organization. This research-based study of white
supremacist discourse on the Internet facilitates understanding of
hate speech and the behavior of extremist groups, with the aim of
providing tools to combat elements of extremism and intolerance in
society.
