摘要

本文对 TikTok 上的饮食失调和康复视频进行了详细的定性内容分析，这些视频展示了年轻女性为提高人们的意识或描述康复过程而拍摄的视频。我们特别关注形式和内容的各个方面以及 TikTok 在这方面的承受能力。我们认为，所谓展示饮食失调和康复 "真实的样子"，与视频中对女性身体和饮食失调的审美化是矛盾的。虽然学者们将 TikTok 描述为一个记忆和病毒平台，但这种审美化指向了真实的自我表达、身体形象的复杂性和记忆可见性之间的矛盾。我们的结论是，该平台的特点是重复和模仿，但这些方面都是次要的，因为它们涉及到与饮食失调本身及其代表性相关的斗争，而不是主要的病毒性或记忆性。

‘What eating disorders are really like’ - Dynamics of lived experience and repetitive aesthetics on TikTok

This article presents a detailed qualitative content analysis of eating disorder and recovery videos on TikTok which show young women who proclaim to raise awareness or depict the recovery process. We pay particular attention to aspects of form and content and TikTok's affordances in relation to them. We argue that allegedly showing what an eating disorder and recovery are ‘really like’ is in tension with an aestheticisation of the female body and eating disorders that is present in the videos. While TikTok has been described by scholars as a memetic and viral platform, this aestheticisation points to a tension of authentic self-expression, complexities around body image and memetic visibility. We conclude that the platform is characterised by repetition and imitation, but those aspects are secondary as they relate to struggles linked to eating disorders themselves and their representation rather than primary virality or the memetic.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
