Abstract [sv]
Intervjuer och observationer har varit lämpliga metoder i syfte att ta reda på personlig empiri om varför man vill chattinteragera med streamern Kai Cenat. Empirin kopplas till teorier utifrån uses and gratification av Katz et al. (1973) och McQuail (2005) samt parasocial theory av Horton och Wohl (1956). I analysen kunde fem teman identifieras: kompenserad intimitet, affektiva och kognitiva behov, emotionell investering och tillit. En del resonemang tyder på att individer kan bli bekräftade av Kai Cenat i en virtuell värld när de inte blir bekräftade i ett samhälle de lever i. Sökord: Kai Cenat, Twitch, publik, intimitet, intervju, parasocial theory, uses and gratification
Abstract [en]
Interviews and observations have been suitable methods in order to find out personal empiricism about why one wants to chat interact with Kai Cenat. The experience is linked to theories based on uses and gratification by Katz et al. (1973), McQuail (2005) and parasocial theory by Horton and Wohl (1956). In the analysis, five themes could be identified: compensated intimacy, affective and cognitive needs, emotional investment and trust. Some reasoning suggests that individuals can be validated by Kai Cenat in a virtual world when they are not validated in a society in which they live. Keywords: Kai Cenat, Twitch, audience, intimacy, interview, parasocial theory, uses and gratification.
