社交媒体时代的少数民族网络社群建构

Construction of Minority Network Community in the Era of Social Media

借由社交媒体对离散的少数民族人际交往的勾连来探究少数民族网络社群在虚拟空间的建构。首先从网络和社交媒体对少数民族身份认同研究的意义与价值进行分析,接着从社交媒体的特征说明网络社群如何跨越时空凝聚少数民族群体认同,最后借由对少数民族社交媒体的分析来探讨网络社群中的认同建构。经过研究发现,少数民族在社交媒体中凭借对过去的怀念与选择性回忆、基于地缘关系的认同追溯、来自起源的一种宿命感等几种方式来建构群体归属,强化群体认同,并利用共时性的想象拉近彼此之间的距离,从而建构出一个想象的族群共同体。

The paper explores the construction of minority network communities in virtual space by social media’s connection to discrete minority interpersonal relationships. Firstly,the significance and value of minority identity research from online and social media are analyzed. Then from the characteristics of social media,the author explores how the online community converges the minority group identity across time and space. Finally,by analyzing the social media of minorities,the essay discusses the construction of identity in the online community. The findings are that minorities in the social media rely on the past nostalgia and selective memories,identity trace-ability based on geopolitical relationship,the origin of a sense of fate in order to construct a group and strengthen group identity. They apply the synchronic imagination to draw closer to each other,thus constructing an imaginary community.
