摘要

本文检视卢蒙巴(Lumumba William Gerald Mutumanje)的推特日记，他在津巴布韦被称为Ace Lumumba，记录他感染新冠病毒的经历、康复和生存。我认为，推特日记试图为卢蒙巴创造一种坚韧的幸存者身份，同时强调每个人都容易受到病毒的伤害。日记进一步复杂化了我们对文本的理解，以及意义是如何产生的，因为意义不再局限于直接文本，而是必须从其他文本中得出推断。Twitter很大程度上依赖于互文性，如果读者(产品-用户/产品-消费者)想要对Twitter文本有一个整体的理解，就需要表现出对互文性的意识。卢蒙巴的推特日记还扩展了关于社交媒体和信息流行病在卫生宣传和社区教育中的作用的辩论，特别是在2019冠状病毒病期间。威廉·杰拉尔德·穆图曼杰(William Gerald Mutumanje)，在津巴布韦被称为埃斯·卢蒙巴(Ace Lumumba)，他在一份声明中说，他对津巴布韦的新冠病毒阳性周表示担忧。本周早些时候，推特上的一篇文章称，这篇文章是在推特上发表的。我能理解的是，我认为正常的病毒甚至比普通的病毒都要多。Verder kompliseer die dagboek on begrip van ' s和tekste，在kenkeni的geskeer之间保持单词gegewe, kenkeni的nemeer之间保持单词gegewe，在kenkeni的nemeer之间保持单词gelokaliseer在middellike (kon)tekste，在kenkeni的geevolgtrekkings中保持单词op grond van anders (kon)tekste。Twitter将“grootliks”与“intertekstualiteit”(prod-gebruiker/prod-verbruiker)结合起来，将“intertekstualiteit”与“intertekstualiteit demonstreer”结合起来，将“intertekstualiteit demonstreer”与“Twitter- tekiteit”(hê)结合起来。卢蒙巴认为，推特博客正在推动社会媒体和信息媒体对新冠肺炎疫情的讨论，其中一些人对新冠肺炎疫情感到担忧。

Twitter Diary and COVID-19 Survival: The Case of @acielumumba

This article examines the Twitter diary of Lumumba William Gerald Mutumanje, popularly known as Ace Lumumba in Zimbabwe, which chronicles his experiences of being COVID-19 positive, his recuperation and survival from the contagion. I argue that the Twitter diary attempts to create a resilient and survivor identity for Lumumba and at the same time underscores the fact that everyone is vulnerable and susceptible to the virus. The diary further complicates our understanding of a text and how meaning is generated given that meaning is no longer localised to the immediate (con)text as inferences have to be drawn from and made to other (con)texts. Twitter largely relies on intertextuality and the reader (prod-user/prod-sumer) needs to demonstrate an awareness of intertextuality if (s)he is to have a holistic appreciation of Twitter texts. Lumumba’s Twitter diary also extends debates on the role of social media and infodemics in health advocacy and community education, especially in times of COVID-19. Opsomming Hierdie artikel bestudeer die Twitter-dagboekinskrywings van Lumumba William Gerald Mutumanje, beter bekend as Ace Lumumba in Zimbabwe, waarin hy sy ervarings opteken rakende COVID-19-positief wees, sy herstel en sy oorlewing van die siekte. Ek voer aan dat die Twitter-dagboek poog om 'n lewenskragtige oorlewende-identiteit vir Lumumba te skep. Dit onderstreep ook die feit dat almal weerloos en vatbaar vir die virus is. Verder kompliseer die dagboek ons begrip van 'n teks, en hoe betekenis geskep word gegewe dat betekenis nie meer gelokaliseer is tot die onmiddellike (kon)teks nie, aangesien gevolgtrekkings gemaak moet word op grond van ander (kon)tekste. Twitter steun grootliks op intertekstualiteit en die leser (prod-gebruiker/prod-verbruiker) moet 'n bewustheid van intertekstualiteit demonstreer om 'n holistiese begrip van Twitter-tekste te kan hê. Lumumba se Twitter-dagboek dien ook as uitbreiding van debatte oor die rol van sosiale media en infodemia in aanbevelings oor gesondheid en gemeenskapsopvoeding—veral in die tyd van COVID-19.
