This article is a reflection on the ramifications of externalizing knowledge, first to gods, then to machines, and now to computers. That process has already led to the mortality of humanity and the jeopardy of the planet. What can “pan-humanism” mean or do in such a world?
本文旨在反思知识外部化的后果,首先是神,然后是机器,现在是计算机。这一过程已经导致了人类的死亡和地球的危险。在这样的世界里,"泛人文主义 "究竟意味着什么?

This study investigated portrayals of women in STEM on TikTok focusing on their self-presentation of identity and use of platform features to promote audience engagement. This quantitative content analysis examined TikTok posts ( N = 400) from a 3-month sample of 100 TikTok accounts by individuals identified as women in STEM. Results for STEM-focused posts showed that these content creators provided positive portrayals of their work as women in STEM and frequent displays of their STEM identity, particularly displays of STEM competence and self-recognition. However, findings also indicated that this TikTok community displayed other social group identities less frequently and used relatively few TikTok platform features that would likely enhance audience engagement. Results suggest that positive portrayals of women in STEM on TikTok are helpful for challenging gender-STEM stereotypes, but the dearth of displays of social group identities highlights a need for more diverse women in STEM role models on TikTok. In addition, the infrequent use of popular platform features appears to be a missed opportunity for broader audience engagement. Implications for social media science influencers, science communicators, and informal STEM outreach professionals are discussed.
本研究调查了 STEM 女性在 TikTok 上的形象,重点关注她们的自我身份展示以及使用平台功能促进受众参与的情况。这项定量内容分析从 100 个 TikTok 账户中抽取了 3 个月的样本,研究了 STEM 领域女性发布的 TikTok 帖子(N = 400)。以 STEM 为重点的帖子结果显示,这些内容创作者对其作为 STEM 领域女性的工作进行了积极的描述,并经常展示其 STEM 身份,尤其是 STEM 能力和自我认可的展示。不过,研究结果也表明,这个 TikTok 社区展示其他社会群体身份的频率较低,而且使用的 TikTok 平台功能相对较少,而这些功能可能会提高受众的参与度。研究结果表明,TikTok 上对 STEM 领域女性的正面描绘有助于挑战性别-STEM 的刻板印象,但社会群体身份展示的缺乏凸显了 TikTok 上需要更多不同的 STEM 领域女性榜样。此外,不经常使用流行的平台功能似乎也错失了让更多受众参与进来的机会。本文还讨论了社交媒体科学影响者、科学传播者和非正式的 STEM 外联专业人员的意义。

To examine how social media influencers aid in the growth of the wellness industry while simultaneously reifying dangerous existing ideologies, we conducted a thematic analysis of TikTok videos created by a social media influencer during her time at a popular wellness tourism retreat known as The Ranch Malibu. In the findings, we outline how wellness tourism discourse promotes extreme dieting, the moralization of health, and elitism, all outcomes in line with previous studies explicating the dangers of both contemporary and historical wellness rhetoric. We argue that the sharing of wellness tourism content on social media platforms results in the spread of dangerous beliefs alongside health misinformation at a much faster pace than in decades prior. Therefore, we encourage communication scholars to examine wellness tourism discourse on social media platforms as a novel research area within the growing fields of digital health communication, rhetoric of health and wellness, and public health.
为了研究社交媒体影响者是如何在帮助健康产业发展的同时,重新定义危险的现有意识形态的,我们对一位社交媒体影响者在一家名为马里布牧场的热门健康旅游度假村期间创作的 TikTok 视频进行了专题分析。在分析结果中,我们概述了养生旅游的言论是如何促进极端节食、健康道德化和精英主义的,所有这些结果都与之前的研究结果一致,都阐述了当代和历史上养生言论的危险性。我们认为,在社交媒体平台上分享养生旅游内容导致了危险信念与健康误导信息的传播,其速度比几十年前快了很多。因此,我们鼓励传播学者研究社交媒体平台上的健康旅游话语,将其作为数字健康传播、健康修辞和公共卫生等不断发展的领域中的一个新的研究领域。

It’s Not Just “8 Dead”: Examining News and Twitter’s Social Construction of the Atlanta Spa Shootings Through the Lens of Networked Gatekeeping and Affective Publics 不仅仅是 "8 人死亡":从网络把关和情感公众的角度审视新闻和推特对亚特兰大温泉枪击案的社会建构

Drawing from the theories of networked gatekeeping and affective publics, this study compares how news media and social media users shaped the discourse surrounding the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings. We investigate both the substantive (topics) and affective (emotions) dimensions of news articles and tweets, showcasing how institutional media and the public engage in the social construction of mass shootings involving people of underserved communities. To do so, we built two datasets: 964 news articles and 265,951 tweets. The findings from the computer-assisted content analysis reveal that Twitter users focused more on humanizing the victims and contextualizing the Atlanta spa shootings within the broader framework of anti-Asian racism, in contrast to the news outlets. Twitter users expressed significantly greater anger and fear than what is reflected in the news articles. This study also demonstrates that the news stories failed to acknowledge the intersecting identities of the victims. The findings contribute to our understanding of how journalists and individuals shape agendas and convey their affective reactions through news and social media. We suggest actions that can be taken to create a more inclusive and culturally responsive media environment.
本研究借鉴网络把关和情感公共理论,比较了新闻媒体和社交媒体用户如何塑造 2021 年亚特兰大温泉枪击案的相关言论。我们调查了新闻文章和推文的实质(主题)和情感(情绪)两个维度,展示了机构媒体和公众是如何参与涉及弱势群体的大规模枪击事件的社会建构的。为此,我们建立了两个数据集:964 篇新闻文章和 265,951 条微博。计算机辅助内容分析的结果显示,与新闻机构相比,Twitter 用户更注重将受害者人性化,并将亚特兰大水疗中心枪击案置于更广泛的反亚裔种族主义框架内。推特用户所表达的愤怒和恐惧明显高于新闻报道。本研究还表明,新闻报道未能承认受害者的交叉身份。研究结果有助于我们理解新闻记者和个人如何通过新闻和社交媒体形成议程并传达他们的情感反应。我们建议采取一些行动,以创造一个更具包容性和文化敏感性的媒体环境。

The Political Twittersphere as a Breeding Ground for Populist Ideas: The Case of Israel 作为民粹主义思想温床的政治推特圈:以色列案例

This study employs a neural network approach to investigate the dissemination and content of populist ideas within the Israeli political Twittersphere. By analyzing a data set of Twitter activity by Israeli lawmakers from 2013 to 2022, the study reveals a consistent increase in the frequency and concentration of populist ideas, particularly among legislators from religious-nationalist parties. The analysis of the topical content of populist ideas spread on Twitter highlights the significant impact of legal proceedings against the Prime Minister on political discussions. It delineates the development of a Manichean discourse among the center-left and a complete populist cosmology among the right, reaching its peak in 2022. The study demonstrates the utility of such approaches in understanding the evolution and dissemination of populist ideas, as well as the challenges faced by the backsliding Israeli democracy.
本研究采用神经网络方法调查以色列政治推特圈中民粹主义思想的传播和内容。通过分析以色列立法者从 2013 年到 2022 年的推特活动数据集,研究发现民粹主义思想的频率和集中度持续上升,尤其是在宗教民族主义政党的立法者中。对推特上传播的民粹主义观点的热门内容进行分析,凸显了针对总理的法律诉讼对政治讨论的重大影响。它描述了中左翼的摩尼教话语和右翼的完整民粹主义宇宙论的发展,并在 2022 年达到顶峰。研究表明,这种方法有助于理解民粹主义思想的演变和传播,以及正在倒退的以色列民主所面临的挑战。

“Tell Me You Have ADHD Without Telling Me You Have ADHD”: Neurodivergent Identity Performance on TikTok "告诉我你有多动症,却不告诉我你有多动症":TikTok 上的神经分歧身份表现

User-generated content about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most popular health topics on TikTok. Because most creators are lay people, yet they attract a wide audience, concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the information shared. Through critical discourse analysis of #actuallyADHD and #ADHDprobs videos, this study examines the content of these videos as they relate to creators’ ADHD self-disclosure. Analysis showed that platform affordances and performance practices of videos focused on humor and personal experiences rather than educational medical content. I argue that in user-generated ADHD TikTok videos the performance strategies of creators and platform affordances of TikTok indicate these videos function as identity work rather than health information.
用户生成的有关注意力缺陷/多动症(ADHD)的内容是 TikTok 上最受欢迎的健康话题之一。由于大多数创作者都是普通人,但却吸引了众多受众,因此人们对所分享信息的准确性产生了担忧。本研究通过对 #actuallyADHD 和 #ADHDprobs 视频的批判性话语分析,研究了这些视频的内容与创作者的 ADHD 自我披露之间的关系。分析表明,视频的平台承受能力和表演实践侧重于幽默和个人经历,而不是教育性的医疗内容。我认为,在用户生成的 ADHD TikTok 视频中,创作者的表演策略和 TikTok 的平台功能表明这些视频是身份作品,而不是健康信息。

While TikTok has established itself as a new platform for political communication, its role during elections remains understudied by researchers. In this article, we present a content analysis of actor dynamics and ideological content characteristics on TikTok during the early phase of the 2022 election campaign in Sweden, combined with an analysis of how political orientation and utilization of TikTok’s platform features impact user engagement. Results reveal that party youth organizations had a prominent presence during the campaign, while traditional party actors were less established. TikTok tends to lean toward right-wing content, with right-wing praise being a significant predictor of user engagement. Semiotic resources such as stickers and emoticons but also added music, were widely used platform features, but these features had no or weak negative effects on user engagement. Added speech, particularly when praising right-wing politics, positively influenced user engagement, suggesting the importance of verbal communication on a platform characterized by multimodal experimentation.
虽然 TikTok 已成为一个新的政治交流平台,但研究人员对其在选举期间的作用研究不足。在本文中,我们对 2022 年瑞典大选竞选初期 TikTok 上的参与者动态和意识形态内容特征进行了内容分析,并分析了政治导向和 TikTok 平台功能的使用如何影响用户参与。结果表明,在竞选期间,政党青年组织的影响力非常突出,而传统政党参与者的影响力则较小。TikTok 倾向于右翼内容,右翼点赞是用户参与度的重要预测因素。贴纸和表情符号等语义资源以及添加的音乐是广泛使用的平台功能,但这些功能对用户参与度没有负面影响或负面影响较弱。添加的语音,尤其是在赞美右翼政治时,对用户参与度产生了积极影响,这表明在以多模态实验为特征的平台上,语言交流非常重要。

The information-sharing practices within alternative health social media groups makes them important spaces for analyzing and understanding the factors shaping the online spread of alternative health and health science (mis)information. Through interviews and observation of participants in alternative health groups on both Facebook and Reddit, we explore how people use health science information from government, health, and news sources, alternative health information from social media groups, and their own personal experiences and concerns to define informational (dis)trustworthiness. We identify factors that lead participants to (dis)trust health science information and explore how members assess the (dis)trustworthiness of health science information using an alternative epistemology. This alternative epistemology, or “their science,” demonstrates a trust in science unless or until it contradicts members’ experiences, beliefs, contextual concerns, or their own “research” practices.
另类健康社交媒体群组内的信息分享行为使其成为分析和了解影响另类健康和健康科学(错误)信息在线传播的因素的重要场所。通过对 Facebook 和 Reddit 上另类健康群组参与者的访谈和观察,我们探讨了人们如何利用来自政府、卫生和新闻来源的健康科学信息、来自社交媒体群组的另类健康信息,以及他们自己的个人经历和担忧来界定信息的(失)信度。我们确定了导致参与者(不)信任健康科学信息的因素,并探讨了参与者如何使用另一种认识论来评估健康科学信息的(不)可信度。这种另类认识论或 "他们的科学 "显示了对科学的信任,除非或直到科学与参与者的经验、信仰、背景问题或他们自己的 "研究 "实践相矛盾。

Do Influencers Influence? A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Celebrities and Social Media Influencers Effects 影响者会产生影响吗?名人和社交媒体影响者效应的元分析比较

The emergent body of scholarship on social media influencers (SMIs) highlights their potential to yield positive brand advertising outcomes. However, the literature is undermined by the lack of clarity regarding how SMIs conceptually compare to celebrity endorsers and their impact on advertising outcomes. The study aims to clarify these differences via a meta-analysis of 39 experimental studies (total sample size = 13,766) of SMI effects from 2010 through March 2024. Findings reveal that SMIs are more effective than brand-only advertising and that there is no significant difference between SMIs and celebrity endorsers. Taking these factors into consideration, the effects are moderated by perceived credibility and influencer types, indicating that mega-influencers are relatively more persuasive, while nano-influencers are less persuasive compared to celebrities, respectively. Findings imply that there is a “sweet spot” wherein SMIs are most effective and distinct from celebrity endorsers, providing support for more nuanced conceptualizations of SMIs and calling for future research to explore additional enhancing and attenuating factors.
关于社交媒体影响者(SMIs)的学术研究成果不断涌现,凸显了他们为品牌广告带来积极成果的潜力。然而,由于社交媒体影响者与名人代言人在概念上的比较及其对广告效果的影响不够清晰,这些文献受到了影响。本研究旨在通过对 2010 年至 2024 年 3 月期间有关 SMI 效果的 39 项实验研究(总样本量 = 13,766 个)进行荟萃分析,澄清这些差异。研究结果表明,SMI 比纯品牌广告更有效,而且 SMI 与名人代言人之间没有显著差异。考虑到这些因素,效果受感知可信度和影响者类型的调节,表明巨型影响者相对更具说服力,而纳米影响者与名人相比说服力较低。研究结果表明,存在着一个 "甜蜜点",在这个 "甜蜜点 "上,SMIs 最有效,而且有别于名人代言人,这为更细致的 SMIs 概念化提供了支持,并呼吁未来的研究探索更多的增强和削弱因素。

The study aims to clarify these differences via a meta-analysis of 39 experimental studies (total sample size = 13,766) of SMI effects from 2010 through March 2024. Findings reveal that SMIs are more effective than brand-only advertising and that there is no significant difference between SMIs and celebrity endorsers. Taking these factors into consideration, the effects are moderated by perceived credibility and influencer types, indicating that mega-influencers are relatively more persuasive, while nano-influencers are less persuasive compared to celebrities, respectively. Findings imply that there is a “sweet spot” wherein SMIs are most effective and distinct from celebrity endorsers, providing support for more nuanced conceptualizations of SMIs and calling for future research to explore additional enhancing and attenuating factors.","PeriodicalId":47920,"journal":{"name":"Social Media + Society","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141948040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beyond indexing content and creating networks, hashtags can also convey social meanings. From the perspective of social representation, this article investigates how gay men in Singapore use various hashtags to represent their complex identities and create a shared meaning of being gay in Singapore. Through a textual analysis of identity-related posts generated by gay Instagram users in Singapore, we identified two patterns of using gay-related hashtags: habitual and contextual. Both patterns rely on and demonstrate the identity complexity of gay users. The patterns suggest the users’ identity management online while engendering different forms of social representation for Singaporean gay men. By using non-gay hashtags and juxtaposing them with gay ones, the users could disseminate outreach information, establish social connections, and improve the digital inclusion of their group. We also found unusual exclusions of gay hashtags, suggesting the potential conflict between gayness and some traditional values/roles in Singapore.
除了索引内容和创建网络,标签还能传达社会意义。本文从社会表征的角度出发,研究了新加坡男同性恋如何使用各种标签来代表他们复杂的身份,并创造出在新加坡成为同性恋的共同意义。通过对新加坡男同性恋 Instagram 用户发布的与身份相关的帖子进行文本分析,我们发现了使用与男同性恋相关的标签的两种模式:习惯性和情境性。这两种模式都依赖于同性恋用户身份的复杂性,并展示了这种复杂性。这两种模式表明了用户在网上的身份管理,同时也为新加坡男同性恋带来了不同形式的社会表征。通过使用非同性恋标签并将其与同性恋标签并列,用户可以传播外联信息,建立社会联系,提高其群体的数字包容性。我们还发现了同性恋标签被排斥在外的异常现象,这表明同性恋与新加坡的某些传统价值观/角色之间存在潜在冲突。
