Vulnerabilità e forme di radicalizzazione. L’echo chamber delle comunità online di odio misogino e antifemminista

This work reflects on the possibility of applying the paradigm elaborated by the most recent studies on radicalisation – and, in particular, the observations referring to the online self-radicalisation of especially vulnerable subjects – to the phenomenon of online communities of misogynist and anti-feminist hatred. This hypothesis will be examined through the analysis of the characteristic vulnerabilities exposed by the users of such social networks, of the ideologies which are incubated there, and of their implications as a justifying basis for certain acts of homicidal terrorism which have been explicitly perpetrated in their name.
