摘要

本文通过介绍和揭示一种我们称之为购物生活的现象,对Instagram的网红经济进行了批判性分析。“购物生活”一词旨在表达以下观点:(a)社交媒体用户的生活方式,其组成要素可以购买;(b)社交性越来越多地在平台内展开,这些平台将市场逻辑和能力编码到它们的设计中。借鉴有关消费文化、名人和数字劳动的文献;采访了25位Instagram网红经济的参与者;与行业文本,我们阐明了权力的动态和矛盾体现在构建购物生活。我们强调社交媒体用户如何驾驭创造一个“真实”但有品牌和可货币化的自我的必要性,他们这样做所承担的个人风险,以及从中调解和获利的利益相关者。我们还强调了概念性的切入点,以引起人们对可购物性逻辑的批判性关注,这种逻辑日益渗透到空间和文化中。

A Shoppable Life: Performance, Selfhood, and Influence in the Social Media Storefront
This article develops a critical analysis of Instagram’s influencer economy by introducing and unpacking a phenomenon we call shoppable life. The term shoppable life is intended to capture the ideas that: (a) social media users perform lifestyles whose constituent elements can be bought; and (b) sociality increasingly unfolds within platforms that encode marketplace logics and capacities into their designs. Drawing on literatures about consumer culture, celebrity, and digital labor; interviews with 25 participants in Instagram’s influencer economy; and industry texts, we elucidate the power dynamics and contradictions manifested in constructing a shoppable life. We emphasize how social media users navigate the imperative to produce an “authentic” but branded and monetizable self, the personal risk they bear in doing so, and the stakeholders who mediate and profit from these productions. We also highlight conceptual points of entry for critical attention to the logic of shoppability, which increasingly pervades spaces and cultures.
