ABSTRACT

Facebook groups are spaces where women form communities and share their lived experiences. These peer-created and peer-moderated groups have ‘closed’ security settings, indicating that interactions within the group are to be considered private. They attract membership from women who desire safe, ‘trusted’, gender-specific spaces, though as this article demonstrates, these perceived ‘safe spaces’ are often fraught with difficulties. This article considers Facebook groups as intimate spaces which traverse the public and private, potentially allowing women to remove the mask of motherhood and draw on ‘lay-expertise’ and support. Drawing on three studies of closed Facebook groups, for Australian ‘mum bloggers’ and readers, Australian Defence Force partners, and migrant mothers in Australia, this article considers women’s motivations for creating and participating in shielded online spaces, how expectations of privacy and safety in these spaces are created and maintained, and the consequences when these expectations are breached. Situating the groups in the context of societal surveillance of mothers, migrants and military families, and expectations of intensive social reproductive labour, the authors consider both the liberatory potential of the groups and their limitations as vehicles for social change.

摘掉面具:封闭的、以女性为中心的 Facebook 群组中的信任、隐私和自我保护

摘要

Facebook 群组是女性组成社区和分享生活经历的空间。这些对等创建和对等管理的组具有“封闭”安全设置,表明组内的交互将被视为私密的。它们吸引了渴望安全、“受信任”、特定性别空间的女性成员,尽管正如本文所展示的那样,这些被认为是“安全空间”的人往往充满困难。本文将 Facebook 群组视为跨越公共和私人的私密空间,可能允许女性去除母性的面具并利用“专业知识”和支持。利用针对封闭 Facebook 群组的三项研究,针对澳大利亚“妈妈博客作者”和读者、澳大利亚国防军合作伙伴以及澳大利亚的移民母亲,本文考虑了女性创建和参与受保护的在线空间的动机,如何创建和维护这些空间中的隐私和安全期望,以及这些期望被违背时的后果。作者将这些群体置于对母亲、移民和军人家庭的社会监视以及对密集社会再生产劳动的期望的背景下,作者将这些群体的解放潜力及其局限性视为社会变革的载体。
