This book explores how incels use language and other semiotic
resources to construct ideologies of gender and race/ethnicity. The
author theorises and positions incels' performances of masculinity
against a backdrop of broader social sciences and linguistic
literature, and discusses some of the limitations of different lenses
through which incels have previously been understood, as well some of
the ethical issues involved with researching a hostile community.
Corpus linguistic methods and netnographic reflections are used to
explore how incels construct ideologies about gender, gendered social
actors, and race/ethnicity, as well as where these concepts intersect.
Taking a post-structuralist critical analysis to this community
reveals a number of way ideologies towards different groups based on
social identities are linguistically constructed. This book will be
relevant to those researching or studying language, gender, and
sexuality, sociology, and criminology. Outside of academic
applications, it is also written in a way that is accessible to
external organisations interested in equality and the prevention of
incel-ideology-motivated offline attacks.
