Authenticity and digital intimacy between influencers and researchers
Original language description
Ethnography of and on social media, in which my own research on female influencers on Czech Instagram is embedded, presents a growing, diverse and exciting field of research. It also places the ethnographer in an intricate network of relationships that are both more distant, yet also more intimate than their offline counterparts. As it was already noted in the introductory post of this blog series, these new types of intimacies call for new types of reflections, both methodological and ethical. I choose here to explore two questions related to digital intimacy as both subject and method of my research – the methodological dilemma of getting to know my informants via scrolling down their feeds and the ethical dilemma of reciprocating the intimacy via my own feed.
