神圣的推文:探索在Twitter上分享古兰经

Holy Tweets: Exploring the Sharing of Quran on Twitter

Norah Abokhodair, Abdelrahim Elmadany, Walid Magdy

摘要:

虽然社交媒体为用户提供了一个自我表达、身份探索和社区管理的平台,但它们也为宗教实践和表达提供了空间。在本文中,我们将探讨社交媒体空间,因为它们包含了新形式的宗教体验和仪式。我们提出了一个混合方法的研究,以了解在阿拉伯语的Twitter上分享古兰经经文的做法,在他们的文化背景下,通过结合最共享的古兰经经文的定量分析,这些经文所涵盖的主题,和共享的方式,与用户的目标的定性研究。对包含古兰经经文的260万条推文的分析表明,以分享古兰经经文的形式进行的在线宗教表达既扩展了线下宗教生活,又支持了新的宗教表达形式,包括做好事,慈善,举行纪念活动和展示团结等目标。通过分析一项调查的回应,我们发现阿拉伯穆斯林受访者将社交媒体平台视为永恒的,至少在他们的有生之年,他们认为社交媒体平台对某些宗教活动是有效的,例如背诵古兰经,祈祷(dua)和不断的慈善。我们对《古兰经》中最常见的经文进行的定量分析强调了这种将宗教表达作为一种崇拜行为的承诺,突出了诸如来世、上帝的怜悯和伊斯兰教法等主题。我们注意到,关于圣战等主题的经文很少被分享,这与一些媒体对穆斯林社交媒体使用和实践的描述相矛盾。

英文摘要:

While social media offer users a platform for self-expression, identity exploration, and community management, among other functions, they also offer space for religious practice and expression. In this paper, we explore social media spaces as they subtend new forms of religious experiences and rituals. We present a mixed-method study to understand the practice of sharing Quran verses on Arabic Twitter in their cultural context by combining a quantitative analysis of the most shared Quran verses, the topics covered by these verses, and the modalities of sharing, with a qualitative study of users' goals. This analysis of a set of 2.6 million tweets containing Quran verses demonstrates that online religious expression in the form of sharing Quran verses both extends offline religious life and supports new forms of religious expression including goals such as doing good deeds, giving charity, holding memorials, and showing solidarity. By analysing the responses on a survey, we found that our Arab Muslim respondents conceptualize social media platforms as everlasting, at least beyond their lifetimes, where they consider them to be effective for certain religious practices, such as reciting Quran, supplication (dua), and ceaseless charity. Our quantitative analysis of the most shared verses of the Quran underlines this commitment to religious expression as an act of worship, highlighting topics such as the hereafter, God's mercy, and sharia law. We note that verses on topics such as jihad are shared much less often, contradicting some media representation of Muslim social media use and practice.
