ABSTRACT

Much of the everyday lives of young people happens on social media, mainly those image-centric platforms, like Instagram. Participation in these platforms has increased practices of meaning-making associated with vernacular literacies. Digital production on Instagram articulates traditions from vernacular writing and photography and is characterized by the mass-circulation, hybridized genres and texts, and the centrality of the image. In this article, I examine the role of image as a precursor of meaning and writing on social media, and the functions and patterns of production present in the practices of 2 Chilean young people. The functions of documentary and testimony; self-expression and identity; sociality, audience, and participation are interwoven with each other and with the patterns that organize the knowledge associated with the production. Based on this discussion, I offer some suggestions in order to broaden the understanding and teaching of writing and digital literacies.

摘要

年轻人的日常生活大部分发生在社交媒体上，主要是那些以图像为中心的平台，如Instagram。参与这些平台已经增加了与白话文学相关的意义创造的实践。Instagram上的数字化生产体现了白话文字和摄影的传统，其特点是大众传播，流派和文本混合，以及图像的中心性。在本文中，我将探讨图像在社交媒体上作为意义和写作的前兆的作用，以及在两名智利年轻人的实践中表现出来的功能和生产方式。纪录片和证词的功能；自我表达和认同；社交，观众，参与和参与是相互交织的，并与组织与生产相关的知识的模式交织在一起。在此基础上，我提出了一些建议，以扩大对写作和数字文学的理解和教学。
