ABSTRACT Online communities can provide social support that plays a critical role in identity reconstruction. Given a changing gendered landscape in which men's identity constructions and configurations of masculinity are disrupted and challenged, some men have begun organizing online using platforms like Reddit to support and provide strategies for reasserting and reconstructing traditional forms of masculinity. Although these spaces are becoming increasingly popular, scholarship is nascent in deeply understanding how these spaces influence identity reconstruction. This paper argues that resilience processes may be a key logic in explaining how men's identity constructions occur and why men's rights communities are flourishing online. Through text mining and semantic network analysis of 35,643 comments, identity constructions vis–à–vis resilience processes were found to be fostered through contradictory logics surrounding sexual activity. These findings contribute to an alternative form of communicative resilience and provide a possible explanation and understanding of how men's rights communities persist online.

Alt弹性:在线男性权利社区中身份(重构)构造的语义网络分析

摘要在线社区可以提供在身份重建中起关键作用的社会支持。鉴于不断变化的性别格局,男性的身份结构和男性气概遭到破坏和挑战,一些男性已开始使用Reddit等平台进行在线组织,以支持和提供重新确立和重建传统男性气概的策略。尽管这些空间变得越来越流行,但在深入了解这些空间如何影响身份重建方面,学者才刚刚起步。本文认为,复原力过程可能是解释男人的身份构造如何发生以及男人的权利社区在网上蓬勃发展的关键逻辑。通过文本挖掘和35,643条注释的语义网络分析,人们发现,通过围绕性活动的相互矛盾的逻辑,可以增强抵御力过程中的身份建构。这些发现有助于交流抵御能力的另一种形式,并为男性权利社区如何在网上持续存在提供了可能的解释和理解。
