Interactive Communication And Identity Of Photography Interest Groups In Wuling Mountain Area

In the process of transformation from traditional society to modern society,a series of diversified organizations have emerged.These organizations provide more opportunities and choices for social individuals to achieve their self positioning.At the same time,the diversity of group culture,the complexity of group interaction and the overlapping of group space affect the construction of individual identity to group and group culture.In this context,the interest group came into being.As a branch of the vast interest group,photography interest group is endowed with deeper significance and value by the current background of the prosperous visual communication.This study focuses on Enshi Photographers Association,an interesting group in the Tujia inhabited area of Wuling Mountain.By participating in the online interactive space and offline activities of "Enshi Photographers Association",I observe and record the online interaction content and offline activity process of the association,summarize the output and interpersonal relationship characteristics of group members based on interaction ceremony,as well as the field composition of the association,and sort out the process from collision to consensus and then to recognition of the group of "Enshi Photographers Association".In the process of observing the interaction of Enshi Photographers Association,I find that the group has the rules of online and offline cross interaction,and there are different organizational structures between different fields.In addition,a series of emotional energy,group symbol,group unity and other characteristics are produced in the process of group members participating in the interaction ceremony,which provides the basis for the formation and Identification Construction of individual group belonging.With the help of Randall Collins’ s interactive ritual chain theory and Bourdieu’s field theory,this study adopts the research method of combining offline ethnography and online ethnography,supplemented by in-depth interviews,to conduct in-depth research on the photography interest groups in Wuling mountain area,which is aimed at the Enshi Photographers Association.The first chapter is the introduction of the origin of this study,significance,background,definition,literature review and a series of studies before the preparation to discuss and sort out,leading to the research object.In the second chapter,from the nationwide photography group to the photography group in ethnic areas,it introduces the survival situation of photography interest groups in China and the particularity of photography interest groups in ethnic areas.Then,it combs the historical evolution,development status and human geography resources of Enshi Photographers Association.The third chapter is divided into three interactive spaces to observe the interaction mode of the members of the Enshi Photographers Association.In the first part,through the off-line observation of the three ceremonies of membership,creation and dinner,I found that the interaction mode is highly consistent with Randall Collins’ interactive ritual chain theory.The second part explores the online communication mode of the group and the important role of media through the two online spaces formed by Wechat group and member circle of friends of Enshi Photographers Association.In the third part,with the help of o2 o social mode,I explore the group of the blending of online and offline space,to form a complete two-way interaction field.The fourth chapter uses Bourdieu’s field theory’s four core concepts of field,habits,capital and power are to interpret the field spatial structure of Enshi Photographers Association,and to explore the influence of habits,capital and power on the formation of group interaction space in different fields.In the fifth chapter,I start to sort out through the process of collision,consensus and identity formed by the interaction in the field space of Enshi Photographers Association.Through in-depth research,it is found that the interactive mode and interactive output of a group of interest in photography are much richer and more complex than they seem.No matter which space field they are in,there are a series of materials achieved by the emotional energy produced by the interactive ritual.The capital,power and habits of the activity field influence and restrain each other,forming the unique interactive form and spatial composition of the group,and thus forming the identity construction of the group itself,the photography culture and the national culture.
