Dire l’inceste sur Twitter : caractéristiques discursives et dynamiques de circulation de #MeTooInceste

Abstract: In the wake of #MeToo, the January 2021 hashtag #MeTooInceste helped to update the public issue of incest in France. We collected various types of material (a corpus of tweets and interviews) in order to examine the characteristics of these expressions. We have contextualized, analyzed and discussed these data thanks to a mixed method relying on both quantitative and qualitative tools. We have uncovered the semiodiscursive characteristics of these utterances, in particular their lexical and morphosyntactic features. The diversity of the responses shows the centrality of the testimony and sheds light on the reasons for its circulation, in this case the role of certain Twitter accounts that contribute to the circulation of the hashtag and its deployment.
