Rather than contributing to the further democratisation of public and political space, social media platforms have become conduits for the dissemination of hate speech, aggression, violence, and misogyny against women engaged in politics at various levels, be it local, national, or international. This study endeavours to address the critical questions surrounding violence against women in politics on social media and examines the related risks and consequences for women at various stages of their political careers, including parliamentarians and those only setting out on their political journeys. Employing critical discourse analysis and social network analysis, our research delves into the discourse on the X network during the two months leading up to the Slovenian parliamentary election in April 2022. Through the meticulous examination of over 300 handcollected posts in the Slovenian language, we aim to elucidate the impact of the discourse on the X network on the pre-election events and assess the extent of violent and misogynistic content directed at women actively participating in the election campaign. Our findings reveal that misogynistic and violent attacks published on X manifest themselves in diverse forms of expression, targeting women with high prospects of achieving favourable election results and those expressing critical views towards the government. The overarching objective of these violent and misogynistic activities transcends mere psychological harm and the instillation of fear; instead, they aim to induce a sense of inferiority and dissuade women from active political participation, compelling them to retreat from the public sphere into the private domainV pričujočem prispevku se osredinjamo na analizo novodobne oblike nasilja nad ženskami v politiki na družbenih omrežjih. Slednja so, namesto da bi družbo in javni prostor demokratizirala, postala prostor, kjer prihaja do (re)produkcije novih oblik izkazovanja nasilja nad ženskami, kamor uvrščamo sovražni govor, mizoginijo, agresijo in seksizem. Tovrstna dejanja so, ugotavljamo, usmerjena proti ženskam v politiki (s čimer ne mislimo nujno samo na političarke, čeprav se v pričujoči študiji osredinjamo le nanje), njihov namen pa je ženske odvrniti od aktivnega političnega delovanja, jim zagreniti, otežiti ali jih odvrniti od sodelovanja v moško osrediščenem polju politike in jih posledično iz javnosti potistniti nazaj v polje zasebnosti. S pomočjo kritičnih študij diskruza in analize družbenih omrežij analiziramo diskruz na družbenem omrežju X v času predvolilne kampanje za državnozborske volitve spomladi 2022. V analizi skoraj 300 ročno zbranih X objav in komentarjev pokažemo, da je bil diskurz na družbenem omrežju X v času pred volitvami seksističen, nasilen in mizogin ter usmerjen predvsem proti tistim »nevarnim« političarkam, ki se jim je obetal dober volilni rezultat oziroma so bile v predvolilni kampanji aktivne tako v javnih razpravah kot na družbenih omrežjih. V analizi ugotavljamo, da je obstajajo različni načini izražanja nasilja na družbenem omrežju X, njegov glavni namen pa je preprečevanje aktivne politične udeležbe žensk in odvračanje žensk od delovanja v politikiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za novejšo zgodovino
