<論文>「２ちゃんねる」と「イルべ」電子掲示板を通してみた日韓のヘイトスピーチ現象

Description

Internet space creates opportunities for new cultural formation and opinion-sharing but at the same time it is also a space where group polarization is likely to occur and that leads to an ambiguous identity. In particular “hate speech” and “a right-wing shift” led by extreme group polarization with aggression toward outsiders can commonly be seen in Japan and Korea. The Internet bulletin board “2channel” in Japan and “ILBE” in Korea are examples of this phenomenon in recent years. “Although these two radical right-wing websites have a time gap in their establishment the Internet extreme right-wing in Japan provides a glimpse into the future of the Korean online right-wing group represented in ILBE. This analysis is based on the similarities in social and cultural trends that the two countries experienced in the post-Cold War era” (Weekly Kyunghyang 2014). Therefore this study analyzes these two representative online Internet spheres as research subjects to decipher the “code” that is shared in the framework of “2 channel” and “ILBE.”
