Résumé

Citizens rely on digital media to denounce others. By seeking their own form of criminal justice, they challenge the monopolisation of violence by states. Yet this form of justice-seeking often features shaming and other cultural violence that is not as clearly regulated. Digital vigilantism remains contested in terms of appropriate use, and public discourse varies based on the severity of the offence, as well as on the identities and affiliations of participants. This presentation considers a conceptually informed understanding of digital vigilantism, covering a range of recent cases in a global context in order to direct empirical analysis of how it is rendered meaningful.”
