Abstract

Studies examining the digital disruption of diplomacy focus on the micro level of diplomats’ working routines. This article investigates the new practice of ‘domestic digital diplomacy’ to explore interactions between micro- and macro-level disruptions. The practice of domestic digital diplomacy stems from the digital disruption of government ministries that embrace an outward-looking stance. Domestic digital diplomacy also impacts society as diplomats create a prism through which citizens can make sense of their world. Few studies have investigated how ministries of foreign affairs (MFAs) create such a domestic prism. This study addresses this gap by analysing the images shared on Twitter by the British Foreign Office following Brexit. Using Barthes’s semiotic approach to image analysis, this study demonstrates that MFAs can use images to shape their citizens’ worldviews, values and beliefs. The study concludes that investigating digital disruption in diplomacy requires that scholars focus on interactions between micro- and macro-level disruptions.
国内数字外交:宏观和微观层面的数字破坏
研究外交的数字干扰的研究侧重于外交官工作日常的微观层面。本文研究了“国内数字外交”的新实践,以探索微观和宏观层面的干扰之间的相互作用。国内数字外交的实践源于奉行外向型立场的政府部门的数字破坏。国内数字外交也对社会产生了影响,因为外交官创造了一个棱镜,公民可以通过它来理解他们的世界。很少有研究调查外交部(MFAs)是如何创造这样一个国内棱镜的。这项研究通过分析英国脱欧后英国外交部在推特上分享的图片来解决这一差距。本研究运用巴尔特的符号学方法进行图像分析,证明MFAs可以利用图像塑造其公民的世界观、价值观和信仰。该研究的结论是,调查外交中的数字破坏需要学者关注微观和宏观层面破坏之间的相互作用。
