Abstract
The chapter offers an overview of recent
research on digital hate speech, points out the relevance of the digital media
environment for the growth of hate speech, and notes a shift in hate speech
research from extreme to ordinary hate speech. The chapter then moves on
to introduce the main concepts: temporality and affective publics. These
concepts are applied in the two case studies that follow: the inward- oriented
hate speech on the Facebook site of a Finnish far- right group, Soldiers of
Odin, and the outward- oriented hate speech in the context of a Twitter
debate on racism.
