“…Par extension, si les influenceuses tentent d'exercer un contrôle sur leurs chiffres (en maximisant leurs statistiques), elles sont, en même temps, contrôlées par eux (King et al, 2019). Amandine ne publie, par exemple, qu'à certaines heures stratégiques, au moment où sa communauté est la plus active sur la plateforme pour obtenir les meilleures statistiques.…”

Pour conserver leur statut sur les réseaux sociaux numériques, les influenceuses « beauté » orientent principalement leur activité vers le maintien et l'accroissement de leur prestige en ligne. S'inscrivant dans le cadre de la sociologie configurationnelle de Norbert Elias, l'étude précise la manière dont elles construisent ce prestige au sein d'une configuration particulière : le réseau social Instagram. Il s'agit de comprendre comment les enquêtées gèrent leur exposition corporelle et esthétique. Loin d'une diffusion unilatérale des normes de beauté qu'elles tentent et espèrent incarner, les influenceuses sont soumises à des contraintes normatives fortes liées à leur position au coeur de multiples interdépendances avec les marques, leurs abonnés, leur agence, la plateforme ciblée par l'enquête ici, mais aussi avec leurs homologues sur les réseaux sociaux.

“…), to focus on lifelong profit, customer satisfaction, and success, and to act flexibly and be prepared to take risks (Bröckling, 2019). This new mode is the result of permanent competition and it continually demands ongoing, enhanced, and ultimately never-ending optimization efforts (King et al, 2019). In this context, optimization means an unremitting orientation to improvement, to pushing back frontiers and transcending boundaries, to the creation of relationships (with others and with oneself) within the logic of investment and anticipated returns, and to keeping our options open (in case returns might be higher elsewhere) (King et al, 2019a(King et al, , 2020).…”

The digital media have spawned new cultures of self-revelation and hence new conflicts. The downside of self-presentation, comparison, and point-scoring is identifiable in the emergence of shame conflicts that are progressively taking on new meanings. This article examines (a) the significance and transformation of shame in the context of digitization and (b) the psychosocial consequences of shifts in the boundaries between public and private manifesting themselves in the contemporary digital world. In particular, it examines changing functions, ambivalences, and affective pitfalls of self-presentation in the socialization processes of adolescence. The article is based on empirical studies.

“…On one hand, individuals may be seduced, pushed, or even forced into ST for commercial, disciplinary, or biopolitical reasons (Ajana, 2017;Charitsis et al, 2019;Lupton, 2017;Moore and Robinson, 2016;Morozov, 2013;Sanders, 2017). Some proponents suggest that the use of ST creates new or increases existing mental problems and proliferates individual optimization phantasies, typical to late modernity (Eikey and Reddy, 2017;Gutierrez, 2016;King et al, 2019;Krüger, 2018). Kent (2018), for example, argues that ST in combination with social media intensifies the internalization of discursive demands for normative body images.…”

This study presents a quantitative account of who uses or stops using digital self-tracking (ST). A representative sample of German adults aged 20–50 years ( N = 1022) completed an online survey on their ST practices, personality traits and attitudes toward numbers, on sociodemographic characteristics, mental disorders (particularly bulimia, burnout syndrome, and depression) and somatic disorders. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed on differences between self-trackers and non-trackers. Among others, they differ regarding age, civil status, social class, presence of mental and/or somatic diagnoses, performance-pressure, and strive for competition. A consequent binary logistic regression analysis suggests perfectionism, a somatic diagnosis within the last 5 years, a diagnosis of bulimia in the past, as well as a present mental diagnosis to be significant predictors for ST, though the predictive value of the factors was relatively low.
