ENDNOTES

I conducted digital ethnography on two trending hashtags #BanMuslim and #Muslimban from January 2017 to March 2018, and I chose to focus on strident debates that triggered public conversation. Using Crimson Hexagon software, I collected tweets, manually thematized the data, and used critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk 1993). All online posts are quoted verbatim.
I view the figure of cyber homo sacer as related to the trope of “the mythical Muslim,” and its parallel associations of negative, violent stereotypes, as discussed by Mirrlees and Ibaid in this special issue.
