ABSTRACT This article addresses how one girl uses social media to document her experience of the Syrian war. She contends that making sense of her networked media participation through the frame of democratic practice offers a way of understanding youth culture that moves beyond narratives of agency. Drawing on Sarah Ahmed’s recent work, I consider the sticky quality of Bana Alabed’s twitter posts, arguing that she is both Bana Alabed the embodied girl, and Bana Alabed the cultural construction as filtered through and made sticky by her girlhood. I address the contemporary climate surrounding media, girlhood, and difference in order to argue that Bana’s writing – both on Twitter and in her book, Dear World – constitute what Muñoz or Ranciere might call democratic practice.

有声音的女孩:Bana Alabed 的数字参与和民主实践

摘要 本文介绍了一位女孩如何使用社交媒体记录她在叙利亚战争中的经历。她认为,通过民主实践的框架来理解她的网络媒体参与提供了一种超越代理叙事的理解青年文化的方式。借鉴莎拉·艾哈迈德 (Sarah Ahmed) 最近的作品,我考虑了 Bana Alabed 推特帖子的粘性,认为她既是化身女孩 Bana Alabed,又是 Bana Alabed 被她的少女时代过滤并变得粘性的文化结构。我谈到围绕媒体、少女时代和差异的当代气候,以论证 Bana 的写作——无论是在 Twitter 上还是在她的书《亲爱的世界》中——构成了穆尼奥斯或朗西埃所说的民主实践。
