摘要：本文追踪了三名当时处于青春期的阿联酋男性高中生的发展情况以及他们通过参与各种线上和线下的同好空间所经历的读写历程。他们的故事说明了阿联酋青年如何在这些空间中塑造身份并运用流行文化。在同好空间概念化的支撑下，研究结果表明，参与者对多元读写能力的参与使得他们在不同的同好空间中获得了不同程度的参与度。它展示了参与者的成员身份范围、他们不同层次的掌握程度和领导能力，以及他们在同好空间内积极参与内容创作的情况。研究结果还表明，尽管互联网在参与者的生活中无处不在，但线下同好空间与线上空间同样重要。
ABSTRACT This article follows the development of three then-adolescent male Emirati high schoolers and their literacy journeys through their engagement in various on- and offline affinity spaces. Their stories illustrate how Emirati youth assume identities and manipulate pop culture within these spaces. Underpinned by conceptualization of affinity spaces, the results of the study indicated that the participants’ engagement with multiliteracies afforded varying degrees of participation within various affinity spaces. It showcased the participants’ range of membership, their various levels of mastery and leadership as well as their active participation in producing content within the affinity space. The findings also suggested that despite the ubiquity of the Internet in the lives of the participants, offline affinity spaces remained as significant as online spaces.
