Disciplined body refers to particularly designed bodily movements, orienting to their recognizability by the machine. Drawing on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, this study demonstrates that participants endogenously display a sensitivity towards machine’s recognition, through which they point to a need for players to discipline their bodies and produce machine-designed movements. Disciplining the body involves producing the game movements in particular forms required by the machine, calibrating the movements to the constraints of the machine, and timing the movements in coordination with the unfolding games. The analysis provides insights for reflecting on the relations between humans and machines and in particular how the former adapts to the latter. Participants attribute a specific form of agency to the machine to see and recognize the player movements. This necessitates the players to perform their game movements with specific qualities, which deviates from the “natural” human body, arguably leading to dehumanization. This study is based on video-recorded data in which participants speak Turkish.</div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100754"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695823000879/pdfft?md5=1e468a5e52c18069e2bc461f8e551aa0&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695823000879-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139901400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assuming that text-image interplays, such is the case of memes, may be extremely complex to disentangle by AI-driven models, the paper adopts a sociosemiotic multimodal critical approach to discuss the challenges of automatic detection of hateful memes on the Internet. As a case study, we select two different English-language datasets, 1) the Hateful Memes Challenge (HMC) Dataset, which was built by the Facebook AI Research group in 2020, and 2) the Text-Image Cluster (TIC) Dataset, including manually collected user-generated (UG) hateful memes. By discussing different combinations of non-hateful/hateful texts and non-hateful/hateful images, we will show how humour, intertextuality, and anomalous juxtapositions of texts and images, as well as contextual cultural knowledge, may make AI-based automatic interpretation incorrect, biased or misleading. In our conclusions, we will argue the case for the development of computational models that incorporate insights from sociosemiotics and multimodal critical discourse analysis.</div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100755"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000011/pdfft?md5=34f53fbb557f1af17cea42644e44a543&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000011-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139943037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Undercover police are tasked with posing as offenders to gather intelligence; however, we know little about the nature of these groups, and especially how one might approach them linguistically as an ‘authentically’ interested outsider. This study analyses rhetorical moves (Swales, 1990) in forum posts from child abuse-related dark web fora by self-identifying ‘newbies’ hoping to join established abuse communities. It identifies 12 distinct moves used in the pursuit to join online abuse communities and finds that expressions of competence and expertise are central to newbies’ attempts to gain community membership. ‘De-lurking’ is identified as a useful strategy in the performance of competence in online forums. These findings can support online undercover policing tasks as well as offender prioritisation.</div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100744"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695823000776/pdfft?md5=bdcc4c25d5752ea201b15e11a933a73e&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695823000776-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139471001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we report on a diachronic analysis of the hashtag #wokeAF in English-language tweets posted between 2012 and 2022. First, we trace the use of the word woke from verb to adjective, with novel uses arising in African American Vernacular English. Such uses then spread into mainstream standard English, eventually being used in a novel construction: the intensifying expletive ([adjective + as + expletive]). Although examples of the intensifying expletive are listed in the Urban Dictionary, to our knowledge, this is the first linguistic analysis of the construction. Second, we analyse semantic interpretations and syntactic characteristics of the intensifying expletive #wokeAF, by documenting its occurrence in tweets spanning eleven years. Analysis of the discourse and the context in which the hashtag appears allows us to uncover its novel use as a collective noun, which in our data, is linked to a pejorative stance. In general, we find innovation in the semantic scope of the hashtag and versatility in its position and integration within tweets. Given the pervasiveness of the word woke in the public consciousness, as evidenced by its occurrence in the popular press, this article aims to fill a timely gap while providing an interesting example of language innovation online.</div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100741"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49820993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discourses of expressing human milk (EHM), and their discriminatory potential, are currently under-researched. However, researchers note that rhetorical strategies that exclude EHM as a form of breastfeeding can reinforce the perceived normalcy of feeding at the breast and relegate breastmilk expression and formula feeding as “deviant” practices (Murphy, 1999, Hunt and Thomson, 2017; Rasmussen et al., 2017; Coffey-Glover, 2020; Anders et al 2022).To that end, this study integrates Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (Lazar, 2005, Lazar, 2007, Lazar, 2014) and corpus linguistics (e.g. Baker 2014) to examine discourses of breastmilk expression (EHM) in a corpus of online infant feeding promotional literature taken from seven organisations, with a particular focus on the largest two organisations in the corpus: La Leche League Great Britain (LLLGB) and the UK National Health Service (NHS). The analysis reveals language choices that marginalise EHM in servitude of “breast is best” (Murphy 1999), and specifically reinforce the message that ‘at the breast is best’. We show how EHM is marginalised in the texts via representations of exclusive DBF as the ‘gold standard’ of infant feeding, recirculating discourses of “total motherhood” (Wolf 2011), “natural mothering” (Bobel 2003) and “intensive motherhood” (Hays 1996).</div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 100730"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49809771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
