摘要鉴于社交网络服务中出现的一个特定比喻，即个人上传包括护照和/或登机牌的图像来索引他们作为旅行者的身份，本文探讨了通过巴黎奥利机场的一群人在身份构建中的多语言和多模式创造力。特别是，从移动的照片共享平台Instagram收集数据，允许从两个不同的角度分析作者控制的原始海报（OP）对他们的话语实践。调查的一条线是检查OP对图像的首选阅读，海报的朋友，追随者和其他人要么肯定，要么提出异议，以评估用户之间语言实践的趋势。第二个载体是（再）创造性的方法，OP经常在图像中以一种滑稽的方式使用昂贵的品牌商品来传达他们的身份感。为此，我们讨论个人如何利用视觉资源来向他人展示自己。基于在奥利机场上传和地理标记的图像语料库，我们在这里探索在社交媒体上自我表达的方法，以类型化的资源-包括语言-二十一世纪世纪的法国国民利用创造他们的个人，但同时集体的身份。
ABSTRACT Given the emergence of a specific trope in social network services, whereby individuals upload an image that includes a passport and/or a boarding pass to index their status as a traveller, this article explores multilingual and multimodal creativity in the construction of identity by a body of individuals who pass through Paris’ Orly airport. In particular, collecting data from the mobile photo-sharing platform Instagram permits the analysis of the authorial control exerted by the Original Poster (OP) over their discursive practices from two distinct perspectives. One line of enquiry is the examination of preferred readings of the images by the OP, which is either affirmed or contested by the poster’s friends, followers, and others, with the view to assessing trends in language practices amongst users. A second vector is the (re)creative approach, where the OP often uses expensive branded goods in the image in a ludic way to convey a sense of their identity. To this end, we discuss how individuals draw on visual resources to hand to present themselves to others. Based on a corpus of images uploaded and geotagged at Orly airport, we explore here the approaches to self-representation on social media in order to typologize the resources – including languages – that twenty-first-century French nationals draw upon to create their individual but simultaneously collective identity.
