DESCRIPTION:AHCS Speaker Series\, Winter 2013  Lisa Nakamura  “I Will Do Ev
 erything That I am Asked:” Spambaiting\, Dogshaming\, and the Racial Viole
 nce of Social Media”  Abstract: The “trophy room” of 419eater.com\, a site
  with over 48\,000 registered members\, is full of images of African men a
 nd women holding signs penned with demeaning slogans or engaged in ridicul
 ous acts\, such as men wearing women’s bras and posing with a fish held ne
 ar their heads. While some of these are humorous\, such as “I can’t believ
 e it’s not butter\,” many are designed to render their holder abject\, suc
 h as “I will do everything that I am asked.”  These images were contribute
 d by 'spambaiters\,' Internet vigilantes who trick would-be Internet scamm
 ers as punishment for their crimes. This paper will explore the genealogy\
 , distribution\, aesthetics\, and visual history of this “shaming” meme ac
 ross Tumblr\, image trophy rooms\, and other image and discussion boards. 
 The root of the shaming meme in social media’s visual cultures of racial a
 bjection reminds us of the digital pillory’s hidden history.  Co-sponsored
  with History and Philosophy of Science.  For more information\, https://w
