摘要

背景：每逢蒙特利尔大屠杀周年纪念日，活动家法拉-汗（Farrah Khan）都会在推特（now X）上分享当年杀戮女性受害者的信息，从而引发了人们对性别暴力（GBV）受害者的代表和纪念方式的质疑。分析：本研究包括分析汗在 12 月 6 日发布的推文和用户在 2017 年至 2020 年期间的回复，以及对活动人士和合作者进行的半结构化访谈，以确定活动人士使用哪些社交媒体策略来吸引公众关注并形成有关暴力侵害妇女的公共话语。结论和影响：通过在推特上纪念性别暴力受害者，汗和她的合作者重新设计了一种传统体裁--讣告--以服务于女权主义目的，挑战了关于谁经历过性别暴力和谁实施了性别暴力的误解。

Memorial-Tweeting Ontario’s Femicides: The Use of Twitter (X) in Gender-Based Violence-Related Activism and Commemoration

Background: On each anniversary of the Montréal Massacre, activist Farrah Khan shares information about the current year’s femicide victims on Twitter (now X), raising questions about how victims of gender-based violence (GBV) are represented and memorialized. Analysis: This research comprises an analysis of Khan’s December 6 tweets and users’ replies from 2017 to 2020, as well as semi-structured interviews with activists and collaborators, to determine what social media strategies activists use to draw attention to and shape public discourse on violence against women. Conclusions and implications: By memorializing victims of GBV on Twitter, Khan and her collaborators rework a traditional genre—the obituary—to serve feminist ends, challenging misconceptions about who experiences GBV and who perpetrates it.
