ABSTRACT

This paper builds on recent work on “third spaces” to analyze political talk in comments on news about nonpublic affairs. It draws on content and discourse analyses of comments on news published by a leading Costa Rican media organization on Facebook. The article develops five categories of issues that triggered political talk (institutionality, identity, political inclinations, factual aspects, and criticism of the media) and examines the discursive strategies through which these comments became political. This allowed to broaden understanding of the political relevance of discussions about nonpublic affairs on social media.

Facebook 作为“第三空间”：非公共事务新闻中政治话题的触发因素

摘要

本文以最近关于“第三空间”的工作为基础，分析非公共事务新闻评论中的政治谈话。它借鉴了对哥斯达黎加领先媒体组织在 Facebook 上发布的新闻评论的内容和话语分析。这篇文章发展了引发政治谈话的五类问题（制度性、身份、政治倾向、事实方面和对媒体的批评），并研究了这些评论成为政治性的话语策略。这有助于拓宽对社交媒体上非公共事务讨论的政治相关性的理解。
