这篇文章是基于一项民族志研究，作者在瑞典一个名为“年轻人”的网络社区中对儿童和年轻人的日记进行了研究。它的目标是提供一些孩子在这个网络社区的日记中所写的内容，以及这些叙述中所描述的最喜欢的话题。重点是孩子们的声音和对他们生活的看法：家庭、朋友和学校。文章中提出的问题还涉及到利用互联网作为儿童参与和互动研究领域所获得的优势。结果表明，尽管所有的风险和道德恐慌都与儿童的互联网使用有关，但通过研究儿童在网络社区中的自我展示和日记，我们有可能获得他们自己的生活账户，并获得他们思想的“内部图片”。作者强调，这些日记的重要性在于，它们是孩子们为其他孩子写的。
This article is based on an ethnographic study carried out by the author on children and young people’s diaries in a Swedish web community called ‘Youngsters’. Its goal is to provide an insight into what some children write in their diaries in this web community and what the favourite topics are as depicted in these narratives. The focus is on the children’s voice and notions about their life: family, friends and schooling. The issues raised in the article also relate to advantages gained by using the internet as an engaging and interactive research arena by and for children. Results indicate that, in spite of all the risks and moral panic related to children’s internet usage, it is possible to gain access to children’s own accounts of their life and to get an ‘inside picture’ of their thoughts by studying the self-presentations and diaries they create in a web community. The importance of these diaries, the author emphasizes, is in the fact that they are written by children for other children.
