11	”I look flawless all day long” : En studie av diskurser om skönhet i material producerat av influencers / ”I look flawless all day long” : A study of discourses about beauty in content created by influencers. Wikström, Mikaela January 2018 (has links) The internet and social media networks have created a changed world of media. Influencers work with creating content on these platforms. This study is focused on five female influencers which each has a large audience of viewers and that work within the category of beauty. They make content that mainly focuses on makeup and fashion. The study's aim is to examine discourses about beauty, identity and emotions in content created by these influencers, and to examine if norms and ideals about beauty is reproduced or challenged. The study relies on a theoretical framework with theories about influence marketing, identity and self-presentation online, the consumer society and how it relates to beauty, gender analysis, and also the role of emotion in cultural politics. The study uses two methods, the first being an analysis of content posted on Twitter using the tool Textometrica and the second being a multimodal discourse analysis of ten videos posted on YouTube. The results show that western ideals of beauty often are reproduced in this material, and that they are reproduced in different ways and forms. Multiple themes and topics within the discourse is discussed. These for example involving who the influencers are and what it takes to become a popular influencer, the identities these influencers build online and aspects of how they create their content, the myth that anyone can become as beautiful and sellable as the influencers if only they use the right products in the right ways, how the body and someone's appearance is seen as a never-ending project that can always be improved and also at theme about an internalised judging gaze. Beauty in this discourse is a word that metonymically becomes sticky with positive values and emotions and almost becomes a synonym for concepts of happiness and health. To be ideally beautiful becomes equivalent to be happy and confident. To be ideally beautiful becomes equivalent to be healthy. The reproduction of these norms is problematic in many ways, where one of the most important is that it excludes people that does not live up to the norms. It can also be harmful in a way of effecting mental health and wellbeing of the people trying to live up to these norms.

14	Self-branding on elite level : How female athletes use social media for empowerment Wiebach, Stephanie January 2022 (has links) Professional athletes use social media for many different purposes. That includes sharing personal lives, sport achievements as well as endorsements and branding activities with sponsors. Women’s professional sports gain more and more popularity which is why creating a brand around oneself becomes more important and essential to stay valuable and attractive to sponsors. Online settings have become a stage for self-presentation and social media has enabled athletes to not only share marketing content but to communicate and spread a message. Based upon Goffman’s self-presentation theory, performances and “economies of visibility”, this research aims to understand how female athletes use social media, especially Instagram, and how new media is used as a tool for empowerment and as a tool to raise awareness around social justice causes. For that, a content thematic analysis has been conducted. The sportswomen who have risen to the top level demonstrate how their sports have helped them to build self-confidence and use their power on and off the field. The result indicates that the majority of Instagram posts focus on the athletes’ personal life and backstage insights are shared as well as empowering and motivational messages. / Professionella atleter använder sociala medier för många olika syften. Det inkluderar att dela med sig av personliga livet, sportprestationer samt endossement och varumärkesaktiviteter med sponsorer. Samtidigt blir kvinnors professionella idrotter allt mer populära och det är därför det blir viktigare att skapa ett varumärke runt sig själv för att förbli värdefulla och attraktiva för sponsorer. Onlinemiljöer har blivit en scen för självpresentation och sociala medier har gjort det möjligt för idrottare att inte bara dela marknadsföringsinnehåll utan också att kommunicera och sprida ett budskap. Baserat på Goffmans teori om självpresentation, prestationer och "synlighetsekonomier", strävar denna forskning till att förstå hur kvinnliga idrottare använder sociala medier, speciellt Instagram, och hur nya medier används som ett verktyg för att stärka egenmakten och för att öka medvetenheten kring social rättvisa. Därför har en tematisk innehållsanalys utförts. Idrottskvinnorna som har tagit sig upp till toppnivån visar hur sporten har hjälpt dem att stärka sina självförtroenden och använda sin makt på och utanför idrottsplatsen. Resultatet av studien indikerar att majoriteten av Instagram-inläggen fokuserar på de kvinnliga atleternas personliga liv och att de innehåller insikter bakom kulisserna såväl som stärkande och motiverande budskap. social media feminism empowerment sports athletes self-branding media economics management ethics digital marketing internet diversity society female athletes new media strategy sociala medier feminism egenmakt idrott atlet self-branding media ekonomi hantering etik digital marknadsförare internet mångfald samhälle kvinnliga idrottare nya medier strategi Computer and Information Sciences Data- och informationsvetenskap

17	Célébrité de la téléréalité aux réseaux sociaux : le cas de Jessica Thivenin et les pratiques de self-branding Olano, Elsa 08 1900 (has links) Ce travail se penche sur les nouvelles formes de célébrité dites micro-célébrité, et plus particulièrement sur les pratiques de self-branding qui se développent dans un contexte néolibéral. Alors que les micro-célébrités, à l’instar des influenceurs, sont communément associées aux médias numériques et à la popularité croissante des réseaux sociaux, je considère que c’est en réalité les candidats de téléréalité qui sont les précurseurs de ces nouvelles pratiques et carrières basées sur la visibilité et l’image. De ce fait, je choisis d'étudier le cas particulier de Jessica Thivenin, candidate de téléréalité de l'émission Les Marseillais (2012–), et influenceuse française. À travers une analyse de contenu cross-média composée de quatre moments-clés, j’observe la manière dont Jessica Thivenin se met (et est mise) en scène afin de se rendre visible en tant que marque. En m’inscrivant dans les études culturelles et visuelles, je mobilise un cadre théorique lié aux travaux de Goffman (1959), avec des concepts tels que la performance, l’impression management et la présentation de soi. Enfin, cette recherche permet de discuter d’enjeux qui gravitent autour de la problématique, comme la représentation, l’image de la téléréalité auprès de l’audience et auprès des chercheurs, ainsi que les bad buzz. / This study investigates new forms of celebrity known as micro-celebrity, and more specifically self-branding practices emerging in a neoliberal context. Even though micro-celebrities, like influencers, are usually linked to digital media and the increasing popularity of social media, I argue that reality television show contestants are, in fact, the pioneers of these new practices and among the first to develop careers based on visibility and image. For this reason, I choose to study the specific case of Jessica Thivenin, contestant from the French reality television show Les Marseillais (2012–), who has become an influencer. Through a cross-media content analysis of four key moments in Thivenin’s self-branding career, I observe how Jessica Thivenin staged herself, and is also staged, in order to make herself visible as a brand. In this analysis grounded in cultural and visual studies, I use a theoretical framework inspired by Goffman’s work (1959), with concepts like performance, impression management and self-presentation. Finally, this research opens a discussion on several concerns such as representation, the image of reality television as seen by the audience and by researchers, as well as bad buzz. téléréalité Jessica Thivenin performance self-branding cross-media présentation de soi réseaux sociaux influenceurs Les Marseillais micro-célébrité reality tv self-presentation social media micro-celebrity influencers
