Abstract

This article is based on an online ethnographic study of Dutch women who use YouTube as a medium to document their contested illness experiences. During 13 months of observations between 2017 and 2019, we followed a sample of 16 YouTubers, and conducted an in-depth analysis of 30 YouTube videos and of 7 interviews. By adopting a ‘praxiographic’ approach to social media, and by utilising insights from phenomenological theory, this study teases out how bodies are ‘done’ in (the making of) these YouTube videos. We describe three types of bodies: (1) inert bodies, (2) experienced bodies, and (3) authentic bodies. Ultimately, this study shows how vlogging about contested illness is a practice in which bodies are continually (re)configured, and through which the ‘invisibility’ of a sufferer’s condition can obtain social visibility.

在YouTube视频中做身体对抗疾病

这篇文章基于对荷兰女性的在线民族志研究，这些女性使用YouTube作为媒介来记录她们有争议的疾病经历。在13 在2017年至2019年的几个月观察中，我们对16名YouTube用户进行了抽样调查，并对30个YouTube视频和7次采访进行了深入分析。通过对社交媒体采取“行为学”方法，并利用现象学理论的见解，这项研究揭示了在这些YouTube视频的制作过程中，身体是如何“完成”的。我们描述了三种类型的身体：（1）惰性身体，（2）经验丰富的身体，和（3）真实的身体。最终，这项研究表明，记录有争议的疾病是一种身体不断（重新）配置的做法，通过这种做法，患者病情的“隐形”可以获得社会可见性。
