What lies behind a Facebook page? Insights from an action research project in rural Bangladesh
研究了在孟加拉国农村发展机构建立的Facebook社区中收集和使用在线社交数据时的模糊性、局限性和伦理问题，特别关注文化权力动态和女性表达受“好女人”观念约束的现象。
This investigation explores ambiguities, limitations, constraints, and ethical issues related to the collection and use of online social data for research purposes from a Facebook community fostered by developmental bodies in rural Bangladesh. Even though there have been prior studies of information and communication technology use in vulnerable communities in development contexts, such research has not taken sufficient account of cultural and power dynamics at the coalface of social research. This investigation also examines the positionality of the researchers, including relationships to patriarchal and communal structures in Bangladesh. In this context, it examines the Facebook posts by women of a village. In particular, it finds that the desire to be seen as a “good woman” acts to regulate personal agency and expression of the village women.
