Abstract

This paper is based on a research study designed to explore how adolescents, in situations of political polarization, deploy online networks to articulate, negotiate, and enact their political and religious identities. Based on social media ethnography tracing the online engagements of 44 high school students over a period of eighteen months, and supplemented with in-depth interviews conducted in their village communities, this study explores why social media networks emerge as ideological niches frequented by students to enact their participation as members of their respective religious communities. It suggests that in situation of experienced political polarization and discrimination, students use social media affordances to replicate their offline socio-political and religious engagements onto their virtual spaces and in the process reinforce their radical religious identities.

“危机时刻,一个真神的信徒团结一致”
本文基于一项研究,旨在探讨青少年在政治两极分化的情况下如何部署在线网络来阐明、谈判和确立他们的政治和宗教身份。本研究基于社交媒体人种学,追踪了44名高中生在18个月内的网络活动,并辅以在他们所在的乡村社区进行的深入采访,探讨了为什么社交媒体网络成为学生经常光顾的意识形态利基,以实现他们作为各自宗教社区成员的参与。这表明,在经历政治两极分化和歧视的情况下,学生们利用社交媒体的可供性,将他们线下的社会政治和宗教活动复制到他们的虚拟空间中,并在这个过程中强化他们激进的宗教身份。
