中文摘要
網路是社會運動行動者的資源動員的新利器,但參與落差會限制網路社會運動的潛能。本研究從網路潛水者的角度切入,以「野草莓運動」為個案,藉由深度訪談與次級資料分析,勾勒出潛水者參與社會運動的樣貌,思索其實踐公民參與的潛能或限制。本研究發現,社會運動行動者誇大了網路工具理性,而忽略潛水者對運動的疏離感。潛水者拒絕被歸屬於特定族群,更不想因為現身而被標籤化,伴隨網路技術而來的失望,深化他們對運動的他者心態。
英文摘要
The Internet is a new tool for resource mobilization for social activists. However, digital divide may restrict the power of social movements on the Internet. The aim of this study is to map the participation of lurkers in social movements and analyze the potentials and restrictions of their civic participation by using the “Wild Strawberries Movement” in 2008, which opened a new leaf of social movement in Taiwan, as a case study.
Through secondary data analysis and in-depth interviews, this study argues that the social activists exaggerated the instrument reasons of the Internet. However, the apathy of lurkers toward social movements was neglected. Internet technology did not liberate the lurkers’ cognition. Solidarity between activists and lurkers was also split. The lurkers thus refused to belong to any specific group with consensus. Moreover, they had no intention of physically participating in organized protests. They were afraid of being labeled, which affected their willingness to participate. After being disappointed, the lurkers’ sensation of “others” was reinforced.
