Irène Bastard
« Facebook, what’s there to do? »
Reconciling technical tracks and recounted narratives
The session
We are pleased to welcome Irène Bastard, project manager at the Bibliothèque nationale de France and research associate at Télécom ParisTech. She will discuss the methods used to study the publication and reaction practices on social networks.
Her presentation and the following discussion will be based on a paper published in Sociologie:
Bastard, I., Cardon, D., Charbey, R., Cointet, J.-P., & Prieur, C. (2017). Facebook, pour quoi faire? Configurations d’activités et structures relationnelles. Sociologie, 8(1). http://sociologie.revues.org/3040
Participants need to have read the paper before the seminar. The author’s presentation will focus on the “making of” of her research: the type of data collected, the data processing used, the analysis strategies, etc. She will also explain how the research was carried out. Her presentation will be followed by a collective discussion whose purpose is to explore the links between the processing of data and the analyses, interpretations and arguments resulting from it.
The i3 seminar “Methods for the analysis of online participation”
