TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Hate speech, emotions, and gender identities: a study of social narratives on Twitter with trainee teachers JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Ortega-Sánchez, Delfín A1 - Blanch, Joan Pagès A1 - Quintana, Jaime Ibáñez A1 - Cal, Esther Sanz de la A1 - de la Fuente-Anuncibay, Raquel SP - e4055 EP - e4055 VL - 18 IS - 8 N2 - The objective of this study is, on the one hand, to analyse emotional responses to the construction of hate speech relating to gender identity on Twitter. On the other hand, the objective is to evaluate the capabilities of trainee primary education teachers at constructing alternative counter-narratives to this socially alive issue, surrounding the approval of the Ley de Identidad de Género [Gender Identity Law] in Chile, in 2018. With this two-fold objective in mind, quantitative, descriptive, and inferential analysis and qualitative analysis techniques are all applied. The results inform us of the influence of socially constructed emotions and feelings that are expressed in social narratives. However, the narratives of the participants neither appeared to reach satisfactory levels of reflection on the social issues that stirred their own emotional responses, nor on the conflict between reason and the value judgements that they expressed in the digital debate (counter-narratives). These results point to the need to consider both emotions and feelings, as categories of social analysis, and to reflect on their forms of expression within the framework of education for inclusive democratic citizenship.
