Self-representations of the experience of anorexia on YouTube: The joint influence of the explanatory model and the web platform

New Media and Society. 2024. Vol. 26. No. 6. P. 3235–3251.
Mikhaylova O.

This study analyzes the self-representations of Russian-speaking women with anorexia on YouTube. Using multimodal interaction analysis, the research focuses on how the explanatory model of anorexia and the representation platform influence the narratives produced by vloggers who have experienced or are experiencing anorexia. It is concluded that anorexia is mainly represented in these videos as a weight-related mental health disorder. Although the explanatory model of anorexia shapes self-representations on YouTube, the platform plays an even greater role in the construction of such narratives. This study’s findings fill gaps in the existing literature by revealing the joint structural influences that shape storytelling regarding the anorexia experience. The theoretical perspective utilized in this paper could be further applied in research examining media representations of other mental health conditions.
