Dans cet article, la pratique sociale consistant à aimer sur Instagram est décomposée. D’après des entretiens approfondis avec 16 utilisateurs d’Instagram, les résultats suggèrent que le processus de définition du sens de la compréhension de J’aime est complexe. Les résultats montrent que pour comprendre les « J’aime », les utilisateurs trouvent des points de référence sociaux pour interpréter les « J’aime » qu’ils reçoivent et ne reçoivent pas. En se basant sur ces résultats, les moyens de comprendre la complexité de cette action apparemment simple en tant qu’expression de soutien social sont discutés. |
