Zusammenfassung: | This article discusses the communication strategies employed by 8 school shooters who used participatory media to frame their acts as well as their identity. By resorting to content analysis of 78 self-produced videos and 101 portraits, the findings show how audiovisual communication can be used to trigger the performative aspects of cultural scripts of contemporary forms of expressive violence and thus institutionalize a social movement (i.e. school shooting subculture). These proceedings produce association to a subversive movement, providing a political connotation to the act and a renewed positive identity. Keywords: expressive violence, school shooting, participatory media, audiovisual communication, performativity Cet article analyse les strategies de communication developpees par huit auteurs de fusillades scolaires qui ont utilises les medias participatifs pour mediatiser leur projet meurtrier et leur identite. Bases sur 78 videos et 101 autoportraits photographiques, les resultats revelent comment ces participations audiovisuelles peuvent etre deployees en exploitant les ressorts performatifs du script culturel de ces formes de violence expressive. Les auteurs de fusillade revelent l'existence d'un mouvement subversif des fusillades scolaires en y associant leur projet de passage a l'acte pour lui conferer une portee politique et travailler positivement leur identite. Mots-cles : violence expressive, fusillade scolaire, medias participatifs, scenarisation audiovisuelle, performativite |
