“Decoding Antisemitism” is an interdisciplinary and transnational research project that examines antisemitism online, focusing on the political mainstream of selected European societies – the UK, France and Germany. Antisemitic discourse on the internet provides insights into the present and future of an ideology of hate which, due to its adaptability, permeates all social milieus and is currently experiencing a new high – not least due to the specific character of web communication.
For the analysis of antisemitism online, the research design must be able to capture it both in detail and in its spread. Accordingly, in this project antisemitism is analysed in several stages.
