摘要

在政治不稳定时期，尤其是有争议的选举期间，网络反犹太主义会抬头。本文以 2022 年宾夕法尼亚州州长竞选为案例，研究哪些政治话题会刺激 Twitter 上的反犹太主义表达。在这场选举中，犹太裔民主党候选人乔希-夏皮罗（Josh Shapiro）和极右翼共和党候选人道格-马斯特里阿诺（Doug Mastriano）都提供了丰富的政治和反犹太主义论述。我们通过批判性话语分析对 800 多条推文进行了定性分析，以了解夏皮罗的政治推文和反犹太主义回复推文。这项研究填补了在政治选举期间哪些网络政治背景会导致 Twitter 上出现反犹太主义事件这一空白。以反犹太主义和政治宣传文献为基础，本研究表明，堕胎权和政治极端主义等特别有争议的话题导致了最大量的反犹太主义表达。犹太人的政治控制阴谋主要被用作对特别动荡的政治话题的简单解释。

Exploring political topics that connect to antisemitism on Twitter: U.S. midterm Pennsylvania gubernatorial race 2022

Online antisemitism rears its head during times of political instability, especially during contentious elections. This paper uses the 2022 Pennsylvania Gubernational governor race as a case study to examine what political topics spur antisemitic expression on Twitter. Both rich political and antisemitism discourses are offered by this election that featured a Jewish Democrat candidate Josh Shapiro and far-right Republican candidate Doug Mastriano. Over 800 tweets were qualitatively analyzed through critical discourse analysis to understand both Shapiro’s political tweets and the antisemitic reply tweets. This study addresses the gap of what online political contexts leads to instances of antisemitism on Twitter during political elections. Grounded in antisemitism and political propaganda literature, this study shows that particularly controversial topics of abortion rights and extremism in politics led to the highest amount of antisemitic expression. Dominantly, Jewish political control conspiracies were used as simple explanations for particularly turbulent political topics.
