In this article, we present the classic grounded theory of remote female fixation, which provides new knowledge on the illegal sharing of sexualized images of young girls in networked communities on the internet. This sharing occurs without consent and usually without the girls even knowing about it. In the study, we identified the main concern and action strategies of the anonymous users of a large online forum for the sharing of nude images. The data were gathered from 20 different online comment sections of the Norwegian branch of a global, anonymous community with a reputation for extensive sharing of nude images of young women. By carefully analyzing the data, we found that the forum's users had an ongoing need to master their own female fixations, which they satisfied through the process of remote female fixation. In this process, forum users engaged in the following four interdependent strategies: continuous competition, loyalty-based inclusion, irregular rewarding, and tactical negotiation. By identifying the forum users' shared concern, this theory may help explain the increasing presence of sexual abuse in digital environments.... view less

In diesem Artikel stellen wir die Theorie der Remote Female Fixation vor, aus der neues Wissen über das illegale Teilen sexualisierter Fotos von jungen Mädchen in Online-Netzwerken resultiert. Dieses Teilen erfolgt ohne Einwilligung und zumeist auch ohne das Wissen der Betroffenen. In unserer Studie haben wir wesentliche Annahmen und Handlungsstrategien anonymer Nutzer eines großen Internet-Forums rekonstruiert. Daten wurden von 20 unterschiedlichen Online-Kommentarbereichen des norwegischen Zweiges einer internationalen globalen Community entnommen, in der solche Fotos extensiv geteilt werden. Im Rahmen unserer Analyse wurde aufseiten der Nutzer ein fortdauerndes Bedürfnis offensichtlich, deren eigene Fixierungen zu bewältigen, die sie im Prozess der Remote Female Fixation befriedigten. Hierzu kamen die folgenden unabhängigen Strategien zum Einsatz: kontinuierlicher Wettbewerb, Loyalität-basierte Inklusion, irreguläre Belohnung und taktisches Aushandeln. Wir hoffen, mithilfe der Theorie dazu beizutragen, den zunehmenden sexuellen Missbrauch in digitalen Umwelten zu erklären.... view less
