Abstract

Scientific reflections on information literacy have emphasized that young people must develop information competences related to using the Internet. Among various approaches, in the generic approach, catalogues of competences are constructed and treated as lists of desired behaviours and skills. The article aims to criticize this approach and its characteristic fetishization of theoretical categories; because of fetishization, these catalogues of competences fail to reflect social reality. The article presents the practices of female bloggers of the pro-ana movement: young girls who consider anorexia not a disease but a lifestyle. Using the method of content analysis, the author analysed 561 blog entries on 15 blogs and compared the collected data with a model catalogue of competencies created based on the literature. Perceived from the perspective of the generic approach, female pro-ana bloggers may be considered informationliterate. This implies that this approach is deficient as the pro-ana movement negatively impacts both healthy and ill girls. The analysis indicates that proponents of the generic standpoint should distinguish the so called competent negative uses.

信息素养作为拜物教的理论范畴——以支持ana的青年博客为例
对信息素养的科学反思强调,青少年必须培养与使用互联网相关的信息能力。在各种方法中,在一般方法中,构建能力目录并将其视为所需行为和技能的清单。本文旨在批判这种方法及其特有的理论范畴拜物教;由于拜物教,这些能力目录不能反映社会现实。这篇文章介绍了支持厌食症运动的女性博主的做法:年轻女孩认为厌食症不是一种疾病,而是一种生活方式。采用内容分析的方法,作者分析了15个博客的561个博客条目,并将收集到的数据与基于文献创建的胜任力模型目录进行了比较。从一般方法的角度来看,支持ana的女性博主可能被认为是信息素养。这意味着这种做法是有缺陷的,因为支持ana运动对健康和患病的女孩都产生了负面影响。分析表明,一般立场的支持者应该区分所谓的主管否定用法。
