Abstract

Social movement theorists have highlighted the importance of accounting for the fluidity of collective identities and the ways in which they change over time. Capitalizing on the availability of social media data and the shift from collective to connective action, new methods can be used to model identity change over a medium-to-long time span. We analyze Facebook data to make the case that a complex and longitudinal approach to the study of collective identity is not only possible but also necessary. Our analyses explore the formation and transformation of identity in the context of a local branch of the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) movement in France. By employing a mixed-method design that combines automated topic modeling, content analysis, and dictionary-based linguistic inquiry, we show how collective identities are discussed through complex and conflictual processes that form perpetual identity work.

在线“集体认同工作”的纵向方法:var部门的黄马甲案例*

社会运动理论家强调了考虑集体身份的流动性及其随时间变化的方式的重要性。利用社交媒体数据的可用性和从集体行动到联系行动的转变，可以使用新的方法来模拟中长时间跨度内的身份变化。我们分析了Facebook的数据，以证明一种复杂的纵向方法来研究集体身份不仅是可能的，而且是必要的。我们的分析探讨了在法国黄背心运动的地方分支背景下身份的形成和转变。通过采用混合方法设计，将自动主题建模、内容分析和基于词典的语言查询相结合，我们展示了如何通过形成永久身份工作的复杂和冲突过程来讨论集体身份。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
