Abstract

Relying on the practice of social media, individuals can jump out of the geographical layer and construct a flowing performance space based on interest and relationship in the way of self-performance. From the perspective of the theory of Dramaturgical and the research method of network ethnography, this paper finds that the transgender bloggers of Bilibili present three characteristics in the social media role performance: exquisite performance image, positive performance content and boundary breaking performance space. On this basis, they complete the triple construction of self-identity through personality construction, relationship interaction and collective behavior adjustment. In addition, the training of social gender norms makes the dynamic game phenomenon between “other gaze” and “self-expression” appear in the process of constructing self-identity of transgender bloggers, showing the role tension of collision of values.
