Anna Gjika's "When Rape Goes Viral" examines the complex intersection of teenage life, social media, and sexual assault.
The book delves into the reasons behind the filming and distribution of sexual violence, exploring the motivations of perpetrators and bystanders.
Gjika challenges the simplistic notion of technological determinism, arguing that the use of technology is intertwined with identity performance and peer dynamics.
The book uses case studies to illustrate how social media facilitates the normalization of harmful behaviors and the perpetuation of rape culture.
Ultimately, "When Rape Goes Viral" calls for a critical examination of social media's role in shaping attitudes towards sexual violence and the need for improved legal responses.
