Description

This paper presents a thorough review of the relevant literature addressing the increasingly pressing issue of violence against women in politics on social media. Despite its increasing prevalence and dangerous consequences for those affected, this form of violence is still underresearched,

especially in Slovenia. For this reason, a detailed and in-depth literature review

is crucial to initiate research in the Slovenian socio-political context.

The paper presents eight key studies analysing the phenomenon of violence against women in

politics on social media, employing a mixed-methods approach. Using the latter, researchers

combine methods and techniques traditionally used in the social sciences with modern and

innovative data science methods. The detailed analysis of these studies focuses primarily

on the aims and purposes, data collection techniques, research methods employed, and the

main findings of the analysed research. Using mixed-methods research, it is possible to successfully

integrate social science and data science methods, allowing for precise, in-depth and

comprehensive analyses that yield relevant results.

Thus, the relevance of social science research on social media and political discourses as

they unfold in these digital spaces is emphasised. Furthermore, the importance of studying

violence against women in politics is underlined, which, as a contemporary form of violence,

not only threatens women’s political presence and representation but also poses a significant

challenge to democratic values and gender equality – not only in politics but in all areas of

society.

      • V pričujočem prispevku opravim natančen pregled relevantne referenčne literature, ki se ukvarja z vedno bolj perečim vprašanjem nasilja nad ženskami v politiki na družbenih omrežjih. Tovrstna oblika nasilja namreč kljub vse pogostejšemu pojavljanju in nevarnih posledicah, ki jih ima za tarče nasilja, še vedno ostaja izrazito podraziskan fenomen, kar predvsem velja za Slovenijo. Ravno zato je natančen in poglobljen pregled literature ključen za začetek izvajanja raziskav tudi v slovenskem družbenopolitičnem kontekstu. V prispevku predstavim osem pomembnejših raziskav, ki z uporabo pristopa mešanih metod dela, v katerem združijo klasične družboslovne metode in tehnike z novodobnimi in inovativnimi metodami ter tehnikami podatkovnih znanosti, analizirajo fenomen nasilja nad ženskami v politiki na družbenih omrežjih. Z natančno analizo obravnavanih raziskav, kjer se predvsem osredinim na namen in cilje raziskav, uporabljene tehnike zbiranja podatkov in raziskovalne metode ter ključne ugotovitve, pokažem, da lahko z uporabo mešanih metod dela uspešno združimo metode in tehnike družboslovnih in podatkovnih znanosti, s čimer lahko opravimo natančne, poglobljene in celovite analize, ki ponudijo relevantne rezultate. S tem jasno poudarim pomen družboslovnega raziskovanja družbenih omrežij in političnega diskurza, ki se pojavlja na družbenih omrežjih, ter prikažem pomen raziskovanja nasilja nad ženskami v politiki, ki kot novodobna oblika nasilja ogroža ne le žensko politično prisotnost in predstavništvo, pač pa predstavlja pomembno oviro za demokratične vrednote in enakost spolov ne le v politiki, pač pa v vseh sferah družbe.
