Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2016.

The intersecting systems of cultural meaning and social power that undergird hegemonic structures of oppression such as sexism, racism, heteronormativity and transphobia are in a constant process of discursive (re)construction and resistance. An increasing portion of this ongoing process of discursive negotiation is taking place via social media. This project examines flows of discursive movement and resistance surrounding the intersecting categories of "socially significant difference" (gender, race, and sexuality) on the social news site Reddit.com. My dissertation conceptualizes Reddit as a city and my interlocutors as its residents, and uses a combination of autoethnography, ethnography, and discourse analysis to argue that the site's structure and the discursive practices of its users interact to provide space for both the reproduction and resistance of existing hegemonic social formations.

520 $a The intersecting systems of cultural meaning and social power that undergird hegemonic structures of oppression such as sexism, racism, heteronormativity and transphobia are in a constant process of discursive (re)construction and resistance. An increasing portion of this ongoing process of discursive negotiation is taking place via social media. This project examines flows of discursive movement and resistance surrounding the intersecting categories of "socially significant difference" (gender, race, and sexuality) on the social news site Reddit.com. My dissertation conceptualizes Reddit as a city and my interlocutors as its residents, and uses a combination of autoethnography, ethnography, and discourse analysis to argue that the site's structure and the discursive practices of its users interact to provide space for both the reproduction and resistance of existing hegemonic social formations.
520 $a Each chapter focuses on mapping a different section of the city---not simply its structural architecture, but also its flows of affect and discourse---in relationship to its residents, the users I interviewed. The dissertation draws from semi-structured ethnographic interviews, participant observation, and discursive analyses of site content to examine "motion" pertaining to difference on three levels: (inter)personal, community, and structural. There is also a running autoethnographic component to the dissertation in which I describe and analyze my own experiences with and responses to the site and my research.
520 $a On all three of these levels, I found substantial areas and incidents of both resistance to and reproduction of hegemonic norms. In my examination of the interpersonal "Internet arguments" about difference I observed on Reddit, I connect these interactions to microaggression theory and argue that far from being trivial, these arguments are actually a necessary part of the capillary exercise of hegemonic power, and provide openings for resistance and movement on both sides. The dissertation also examines the labor-intensive community-building practices of the moderators of subreddits based on intersectional difference and the ways in which they both battle hegemonic resistance (in the form of trolling) and engage in their own acts of resistance (through worldbuilding). The last chapter examines the fraught politics of gender, visibility, privacy, and their effects on movement throughout the city.
