However, big data analyses do not provide a comprehensive investigation of X as a community.\u0000 Grounded in the concepts of Alfonso’s (1992) socially shared inquiry (SSI), this paper\u0000 discusses how this discursive process of sense-making and sense-giving occurs in an X hashtag called #PLHIVDiaries through\u0000 analyzing and interpreting tweets (n = 1089) that narrate the daily experiences of Filipino PLHIV. This describes\u0000 how their different struggles are framed and reframed through SSI process which unravels disabling perplexities such as problem,\u0000 barrier, conflict, absence, dilemma, and error. Among the non-disabling frames that serve as a foil to disabling perplexities, we\u0000 identified a variety of tweets that contained testimonies, personal triumphant stories, and answers to problems that were endorsed\u0000 and authenticated by community members.","PeriodicalId":43807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Pacific Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141667996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
