Abstract

Although many cases of the so-called Cancel Culture in the American and British colleges and are taking place nowadays, social science researchers claim for a better understanding of the phenomenon and a clarification of the concept. In this context, cultural perspectives can be an interesting tool to illuminate facts and meanings. This paper tries to contribute to this debate introducing theoretical aspects as well as case studies from the Hispanic context. To achieve this goal, first three different approaches to the Cancel Culture (critical, institutional, and moral) are explained. Then, we examine the role of social media and the new “fear of isolation”, connecting Cancel Culture with the classic theory of the spiral of silence (Noelle-Neumann, 1974). We complement the theoretical discussion with an exploratory work on cases of Cancel Culture in different Hispanic countries. Observing characteristics of those cases we can conclude that they do not follow the traces of the Anglosaxon world, but they share some aspects of the culture of fear in the new digital context. This is the first academic work in this field for the situation in Latin America and Spain.
学术界的取消文化:西班牙裔的视角
尽管在美国和英国的大学里也发生了许多所谓的“取消文化”的案例,但社会科学研究者要求更好地理解这一现象,并澄清这一概念。在这种情况下,文化视角可以成为阐明事实和意义的有趣工具。本文试图从西班牙语境中引入理论方面和案例研究,为这场辩论做出贡献。为了实现这一目标,首先解释了三种不同的“取消文化”方法(批判、制度和道德)。然后,我们研究了社交媒体的作用和新的“孤立恐惧”,将“取消文化”与经典的沉默螺旋理论(诺埃尔-诺伊曼,1974)联系起来。我们对不同西班牙国家的“取消文化”案例进行了探索性研究,以补充理论讨论。观察这些案例的特征,我们可以得出结论,它们没有遵循盎格鲁撒克逊世界的痕迹,但它们在新的数字背景下分享了恐惧文化的某些方面。这是该领域针对拉丁美洲和西班牙情况的第一本学术著作。
