You And Me

The popularity of selfies on the Internet has given individuals on the Internet a new opportunity to know themselves.The advent of the social network era has led to an essential change in personal photography from "photography centralization" to "social networking centralization",and Sharing records and social interaction have become the biggest motivation for people to post selfies.Friends in We Chat Moments,which are mainly based on acquaintances,highly overlap with real interpersonal relationships.Strong relationship attributes are prominent,forming an all-round and three-dimensional network interpersonal relationship,providing a stage and audience for people’s online self-presentation and behavioral interaction.This paper firstly discusses the choice of "object" and "I" in young college students’ selfies,and based on the spatial relationship,discovers the triple relationship framework presented by young college students in in their selfies in We Chat Moments from the perspective of visual grammar.The first is the relationship framework of "I".The selfier uses various modification methods to present "I" in the imagination.At the same time,sharing selfies in Moments is a social behavior,which further constructs the social self image in the interaction with others.The second is the relationship framework of "object-I".Through the behavior of "posting objects" in the selfies of college students’ Moments,it is found that "object" is no longer a subsidiary of "I",but completes the presentation of self together with "I".The equivalent relationship of "object-I" is reconstructed.The third is the framework of the relationship between internal and external space.By observing and analyzing the spatial distance and visual semantics inside and outside the selfie,it is found how "I" interacts with the external society,which shows that college students use the selfie in Moments to seek and establish the equal social relations with the outside world.Through the research of the above three relationship frameworks,it can be seen that the young students establish connections with the outside world through selfies in Moments,and actively communicate and interact with the outside world.Their selfie behavior is no longer closed,separated,and disconnected from the world,but breaks through the egocentric concept of"I"and seeks an equal social interaction in the relationship between"I"and others,which reflects the transformation of young college students’values.
