Abstract

Digital platforms offer users various meaning-making resources to express their stances towards specific issues, and, as a result, to perform and manage their identities. Drawing on multimodal discourse analysis, this paper explored how individuals who identify as Two-Spirit, an umbrella term used within Native American communities to refer to non-binary people, discursively construct their identities on the popular video-sharing platform TikTok by enacting varied practices of stance taking. Specifically, this paper provides a detailed analysis of three videos marked by the hashtag #TwoSpirit in which the content creators explain the meaning of the term to their audience. The findings not only illustrate the approaches taken by three content creators to the explanation of the term (i.e., contrastive, pedagogical, and metamorphic), but also shed light on the multimodal nature of stance-taking on TikTok and the centrality of embodied practices in the mediated era. In detail, embodied practices are seen as particularly relevant to disrupting colonial heteropatriarchy.

#Twospirit:通过对TikTok的立场构建身份
数字平台为用户提供了各种意义制造资源,以表达他们对特定问题的立场,从而执行和管理他们的身份。基于多模态话语分析,本文探讨了认同“两个精神”的个人是如何在流行的视频共享平台TikTok上通过采取不同的立场来构建自己的身份的。“两个灵魂”是美国原住民社区中用来指代非二元人的一个总括性术语。具体来说,本文对三个以#TwoSpirit为标签的视频进行了详细分析,内容创作者在视频中向观众解释了这个词的含义。这些发现不仅说明了三位内容创作者对该术语的解释所采取的方法(即对比、教学和变形),还揭示了对TikTok采取立场的多模式性质以及中介时代具体实践的中心地位。具体而言,具体化的实践被视为与破坏殖民地的异家长制特别相关。
