Zusammenfassung: | YouTube is one of the most popular digital platforms in the world. Videos on current and socially relevant topics – such as explanation videos on the COVID 19 pandemic – can achieve a very wide reach. They are viewed millions of times and are discussed from a myriad of different point of view by thousands of Internet users in the comment sections. In this sense, YouTube can be understood as a space of digital discourses for the negotiation of knowledge. In this article, the complexity of YouTube as a discourse space is demonstrated with the help of an example and it is explained which methodological approaches to digital discourses on YouTube are adequate. The qualitative analysis focuses on metaphors through which the participants construct through language shared imaginary worlds about the corona virus. |
