Abstract

The Bigo Live application makes the female hosts communicate with their viewers and there is an exchange of symbols that occurs between the two, so that there is a self-presentation that can be done. This study aims to determine the Presentation of the Female Host Self in the Live Streaming of the Bigo Live Application. The theory used by researchers is Symbolic Interaction, Self-Presentation, Erving Goffman’s Dramaturgy, Front Stage, Middle Stage and Back Stage. This study used a qualitative approach with case studies, with the object of research being the female host of the Bigo Live application and the subject of self-presentation research. The key informants of the study were three female hosts of the Bigo Live Application. This research data processing comes from in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and also literature study. Data analysis techniques by reducing data, collecting data, presenting data, drawing conclusions. Test the validity of the data by means of triangulation techniques, discussions with peers. The results showed that the female front stage host of the Bigo Live application used a mask and played it on the show stage in the live streaming of the Bigo Live application. The backstage female host of the Bigo Live application displays a complete figure who is not like being on the front stage. The conclusion of this research is that every Bigo Live application female host manages the impression and self-presentation on the front stage and the back stage. There seems to be a difference in each stage.
