AI 中文摘要
在线平台上的去殖民话语常从创作者动机与表达可能性的角度被构建。本文探讨在多层社会技术约束下维持此类话语所需的条件，通过对参与孟加拉语去殖民话语的YouTube创作者进行半结构化访谈，分析受众公众、平台治理与国家影响如何塑造可言说、可见及可行的内容。研究显示，受众中碎片化的后殖民身份会引发合法性审查、骚扰与协同反击，要求创作者持续付出关系性劳动；平台层面，差异化的盈利模式、不透明的审核机制及版权制度会重组经济上可行的受众群体并强化现有层级；此外，多频道网络等中介会调节监管压力，带来政治风险与参与约束。对此，内容创作者采用边界工作、基础设施即兴创作、多平台分发等协商策略。总体而言，研究结果凸显了后殖民语境下去殖民话语的多层动态，以及在平台化环境中维持该话语所需的持续工作。
英文摘要
Decolonial discourse on online platforms is often framed in terms of creator motivations and expressive possibilities. In this paper, we examine what it takes to sustain such discourse under layered sociotechnical constraints. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with YouTubers engaging in Bengali decolonial discourse, we analyze how audience publics, platform governance, and state influences shape what becomes sayable, visible, and viable. We show how fragmented postcolonial identities among audiences produce legitimacy policing, harassment, and coordinated backlash, requiring ongoing relational labor from creators. At the platform level, differential monetization, opaque moderation, and copyright regimes reorganize which publics are economically viable and reinforce existing hierarchies. Further, intermediaries such as multi-channel networks mediate regulatory pressure, introducing political risks and constraints on participation. In response, content creators engage in strategies of negotiation, including boundary work, infrastructural improvisation, and multi-platform distribution. Overall, our findings highlight the layered dynamics of decolonial discourse in postcolonial contexts and the continuous work required to sustain it in platformed environments.
