Abstract
「在未來,人人都可成名15分鐘」—美國藝術家安迪.沃荷娛樂社交直播從中國市場前進台灣,開創了新形態的「打賞經濟」。娛樂社交直播主以女性為大宗,故引發了對女性與直播主的研究動機,針對其「圈粉」與「打賞」進行探討。過去相關於娛樂社交直播主的研究之中,鮮少以「直播主」進行質性研究。若僅以深度訪談進行考察,其研究結果仍受到許多限制,考量到研究者身處異處的隔閡與文化差異,故採取「自我民族誌」對女性直播主進行研究。
女性直播主透過「美學勞動」與「表演勞動」進行圈粉,透過「情緒勞動」根深蒂固的掌握粉絲並誘導其進行「打賞」。女性直播主受平台與經紀公司/經紀人中介,必須符合直播市場的商業邏輯,有意識地將自己成為「男性凝視」的對象,並透過「陰性氣質」的展演促使男性打賞,娛樂社交直播主成為一種「性別化」的勞動。
「我是一位直播主,我同時進行著直播田野的考察與研究。」從我從事直播主的經驗之中,觀察出直播市場是由一種渴望消渴生活空洞的「寂寞經濟」。粉絲對於直播主的想像與互動,不僅止於隔著銀幕的距離,更多期望交友甚至是愛情的需求。透過自身經驗與深度訪談,探討女性從事娛樂社交直播工的自我認同與反思,以及銀幕之下所承擔的「勞動剝削」。
「百萬直播主」是新手直播主多渴望達成的里程碑,然而行走之路極其顛簸難行。成功的直播主富含著「後女性主義」所提出的自我展演與自我賦權,包含可利用的網路流量與備受寵愛的自信等。存在於亞洲脈絡之下,台灣女性娛樂社交直播主演變出特有的文化資本,並成功創立了性別化勞動的媒介景觀。
