摘要

微博平台的可承受性(如对想象中的受众的可见性)如何塑造 "日常谈话 "的性质?通过对 COVID-19 大流行期间发布的包含缩写 WFH(在家工作)的微博进行定性研究,我们借鉴了哈贝马斯关于协商民主制度的理论,说明了 Twitter (X) 如何充当第三空间,在这个空间中,关于社会政治问题的日常谈话与寻求环境归属的关系谈话同时出现。我们的分析表明,表达已经确立的政治立场的推文,可以通过使用memes、图片和速记故事来还原象征意义,从而获得 "点赞 "并在推特上被放大。然而,我们认为,对环境归属感的渴望与还原象征主义的必要性相结合,对公共辩论产生了限制作用,因为它鼓励复制既定的政治套路,而牺牲了新颖、有争议或需要更复杂阐述的观点。

‘Everyday talk’ about working-from-home: How the affordances of Twitter enable ambient affiliation but constrain political talk
How do the affordances of microblogging platforms, such as visibility to imagined audiences, shape the nature of ‘everyday talk’? Drawing on a qualitative study of tweets posted during the COVID-19 pandemic and containing the acronym WFH (working-from-home), we draw on Habermasian theorisation of deliberative democratic systems to show how Twitter (X) can act as a third space in which everyday talk about socio-political issues emerges alongside relational talk seeking ambient affiliation. Our analysis shows that tweets expressing already-established political positions that are amenable to reductive symbolism—using memes, images and shorthand stories—gain ‘likes’ and are amplified on Twitter. However, we argue that the desire for ambient affiliation combined with the imperative of reductive symbolism has a constraining effect on public debate, by encouraging the reproduction of established political tropes at the expense of ideas that are novel, controversial or require more complex exposition.
