- Abstract
- The way young people engage with and make sense of digital/social media is not quite what it seems. In this paper we present two quite different versions, drawing on the work of political scientist James C. Scott. On the one hand, there is the ‘public’ or official transcript or rendition, which comprises the way adults conceive of this usage, and in which young people acquiesce with. On the other hand, in order to subvert the former, what is going on concurrently, is a hidden transcript which is opaque to outsiders and is revealed only to other young ‘insiders’. Acquiescing with the former, in a sense, provides young people with the space in which to construct a much more resistant version of their usage of digital media. © 2015 James Nicholas Publishers.
