Abstract

Drawing on the Foucauldian technologies of the self, this study explores how individuals re-envision practices of wellbeing outside of traditional organizational contexts during extreme events. Based on a thematic analysis of 7234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. This study distinguishes somametamnemata from known practices of self-care, advancing existing literature on technologies of self by overcoming the dichotomy between negative views of ill-being and positive views of wellbeing. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of “corporate wellness” beyond organizational boundaries.

YouTube视频《与阿德里安娜一起做瑜伽:危机时刻的自我照顾和健康体验》

本研究借鉴了福柯式的自我技术，探讨了在极端事件中，个人如何在传统组织环境之外重新设想幸福实践。基于对2020年Adriene Yoga YouTube频道上7234条评论的主题分析，这项研究揭示了一种技术中介的自我护理实践，我们将其概念化为躯体变形线虫。我们的研究结果说明了与瑜伽（一种身体形式）有关的躯体线虫的三个纠缠方面：通过在线练习瑜伽来关心自己；通过在书面评论中分享瑜伽来关心自己和他人；以及通过回应瑜伽的共同言语来关心自己和他人。这项研究将躯体化线虫症与已知的自我护理实践区分开来，通过克服消极的疾病观和积极的幸福观之间的二分法，推进了现有的自我技术文献。通过将个人健康的潜力置于疾病之中，我们将关于“企业健康”的辩论和讨论转移到组织边界之外。
