Social networks have changed our relationship to the world wide web and the ways in which we communicate. This applies to the relationship between authors and readers and affects the ways in which authors can and need to be present in the public sphere and enact their authorship. Digital authors experience this particularly acutely, and the present article proposes an overview of the three main types of attitude they have chosen facing the largest social network, Facebook: using, refusing and abusing, each presented through a case study. François Bon embraces the platform and encourages authors to take advantage of the tools it offers in order to reach readers, network with authors, and become independent of traditional infrastructures. After years of almost addictive use, Neil Jomunsi came to quit the network and explained his decision, but also the dilemma upon his return, until eventually leaving again. Jean-Pierre Balpe’s ‘digital installation’ ‘Un Monde Uncertain’, finally, abuses the website by circumventing its terms and conditions and animating a series of fictional author profiles whose Facebook statuses are created by Balpe’s text generator software. Each of the three approaches represents a different response to the constraints and opportunities offered by the social network in light of the author’s situation, their political stance regarding Facebook, and objectives as an author.

数字作者和社交媒体：法国数字作者对Facebook的态度

社交网络已经改变了我们与万维网的关系以及我们进行交流的方式。这适用于作者与读者之间的关系，并影响作者在公共领域中可以并需要出现并确立其作者身份的方式。数字作者特别敏锐地经历了这一点，本文对他们针对最大的社交网络Facebook选择的三种主要态度进行了概述：使用，拒绝和滥用，每种情况都是通过案例研究得出的。FrançoisBon拥护该平台，并鼓励作者利用其提供的工具，以吸引读者，与作者建立联系并独立于传统基础架构。经过数年几乎令人上瘾的使用，尼尔·乔蒙西（Neil Jomunsi）退出网络并解释了他的决定，但他返回时也遇到了难题，直到最终再次离开。最终，让·皮埃尔·巴尔普（Jean-Pierre Balpe）的“数字装置”“世界报（Un Monde Uncertain）”滥用了该网站，规避了其条款和条件，并对一系列虚构的作者个人资料进行了动画处理，这些个人资料的Facebook状态是由Balpe的文本生成器软件创建的。根据作者的处境，他们对Facebook的政治立场以及作者的目标，这三种方法中的每一种都代表了对社交网络所提供的约束和机会的不同回应。通过规避其条款和条件并为一系列虚构的作者个人资料制作动画来滥用该网站，其作者的身份由Balpe的文本生成器软件创建。根据作者的处境，他们对Facebook的政治立场以及作者的目标，这三种方法中的每一种都代表了对社交网络所提供的约束和机会的不同回应。通过规避其条款和条件并为一系列虚构的作者个人资料制作动画来滥用该网站，其作者的身份由Balpe的文本生成器软件创建。根据作者的处境，他们对Facebook的政治立场以及作者的目标，这三种方法中的每一种都代表了对社交网络所提供的约束和机会的不同回应。
