摘要

最近对社交媒体的大规模调查一再表明,Facebook和Twitter在青少年中越来越不受欢迎,而Snapchat和Instagram等更新的“形象优先”应用在这一人群中越来越受欢迎。虽然有大量的研究调查了这种转变的更普遍的原因,但尚不清楚这些解释在多大程度上可以解释更多的本地用户实践。本文通过采用民族志方法来研究东伦敦青年团体中年轻人中流行的社交媒体话语,来询问这些问题。具体来说,我探讨了社交媒体应用和平台是如何被年轻人以话语方式代表他们的日常生活的。这让我认为,虽然他们的一些做法可以用社交媒体使用的更广泛趋势来解释,但反映年轻人生活现实的问题(例如,犯罪、社交网络)同样会影响他们与不同平台的接触。

Discourses of social media amongst youth: An ethnographic perspective

Recent large-scale surveys of social media have repeatedly shown that Facebook and Twitter are losing popularity amongst teenagers, with newer ‘image-first’ apps such as Snapchat and Instagram becoming preferred amongst this demographic. Whilst there is a wealth of research which has examined more general reasons for this shift, it is unclear to what extent these explanations can account for more local level user practices. This article interrogates these issues by taking an ethnographic approach to examine prevalent discourses of social media amongst young people in an East London youth group. Specifically, I explore the ways in which social media apps and platforms are discursively represented by the young people with reference to their everyday lives. This leads me to argue that whilst some of their practices can be accounted for by broader trends of social media use, issues that reflect the lived realities of the young people (e.g., crime, social networks) equally influence their engagements with different platforms.
