Visual representation of workplace harassment on the internet

Abstract

An iconological analysis of images that circulate on the internet is carried out to explore the visual representations built on workplace bullying. The images were captured in two moments through the Google Images search engine, in 2018 and January 2021. The literature on this phenomenon is contrasted, with the characterization of the images found on the wide world web, the rhetorical figures used, the interactions and contexts that are positioned in them, the elements made visible and invisible about workplace bullying, and the sociocultural principles that these images express.
