Paper Abstract:
|
This paper analyzes the way of understanding and patterns of human interactions while using social media as constitutively
entangled with the social practice and affordances of the technology that being carried out. Based on theoretical accounts
we frame using media as socially and materially mediated. Using online ethnography, we see the different socio-material
practice between the pro-LGBTQ and the anti-LGBTQ groups on Facebook regarding to the LGBTQ as a controversial
issue in Indonesia. We analyse performative practices to see how the affordances of Facebook are enacted in co-producing
the understanding of LGBTQ issues in both group. Although the issues discussed is the same issue in both Facebook
groups, the socio-material practices that occur are different between the pro-LGBTQ and the anti-LGBTQ group. The
data is collected from both groups using online observation in the period of March 2016 as the beginning of LGBTQ issues
become a huge issue in Indonesia until July 2018 when LGBTQ was being criminalized by the Draft of the Criminal Code
of Indonesia. As a result, we can see that the interaction pattern in both groups is different, depending on the issues that
are being discussed and how the users perform the technology. The social practice is related to affordances and human
interaction in a process that is constitutively entangled and performative. |
