ABSTRACT

Live streaming has become an increasingly popular phenomenon in recent years and has turned private weddings and funerals into ‘public rituals’ online. This article examines how transition services reinforce collective identity and negotiate meanings via livestreaming-mediated communication. Based on ethnographic data from the French Hmong community, this article illustrates how does the diasporic and marginalized community translate transition moments to solidarity through this mediatization of rituals. This article suggests that exploring the emotionality of livestreaming in diasporic groups can illuminate the mechanism of identity-making in the mediatization era.

摘要

近年来，直播已成为一种越来越流行的现象，并将私人婚礼和葬礼变成了在线“公共仪式”。本文探讨了过渡服务如何通过以直播为媒介的沟通加强集体认同和协商意义。基于来自法国苗族社区的民族志数据，本文说明了流散和边缘化的社区如何通过这种仪式的中介化将过渡时刻转化为团结。本文认为，探索流散群体直播的情感性可以阐明中介化时代的身份塑造机制。
