ABSTRACT While the popularity of social media is generally increasing, it is becoming particularly important for survivors of collective violence. The study presented here focuses on personal narratives of Êzîdî women who survived the violence perpetrated against them by the so-called “Islamic State.” In these, I identify both thematic and linguistic characteristics. My analysis incorporates concepts from discourse analysis and covers YouTube, Facebook, and other weblogs. As findings demonstrate, the personal narratives of the Êzîdî women can provide a deep understanding of the violence they have experienced and the support that the use of social media can provide. These insights in turn are intended to inform social media communication initiatives that reach out to and support traumatized individuals.

女性通过社交媒体生存：叙事分析

摘要 虽然社交媒体的普及程度普遍提高，但对于集体暴力的幸存者来说变得尤为重要。此处介绍的研究侧重于从所谓的“伊斯兰国”对她们实施的暴力中幸存下来的 Êzîdî 妇女的个人叙述。在这些中，我确定了主题和语言特征。我的分析结合了话语分析的概念，涵盖了 YouTube、Facebook 和其他网络博客。调查结果表明，Êzîdî 妇女的个人叙述可以深入了解她们所经历的暴力以及使用社交媒体可以提供的支持。反过来，这些见解旨在为接触和支持受创伤个人的社交媒体传播计划提供信息。
