Penelitian ini mencari relasi dialektis antara penggunaan media sosial oleh generasi digital dengan budaya komunikasi. Konsep Social Construction of Technology digunakan bersama kerangka pikir hubungan agensi dan struktur dari teori strukturasi untuk menjelaskan bagaimana individu dari generasi digital mengenali kelompok sosial relevan disekitarnya dan mengonstruksikan makna media sosial bagi dirinya, di mana konstruksi tersebut terjadi melalui proses penyetabilan makna dalam konsteks budaya komunikasi sebagai struktur sekaligus konteks yang lebih luas. Metode dan strategi penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus instrumental terhadap seorang informan yang termasuk dalam golongan generasi digital.

Informan mengenali adanya tiga kelompok sosial relevan berbeda yang berasal dari kalangan sesama pengguna media sosial. Kesadaran akan adanya kelompok relevan itu digunakan informan sebagai sumber untuk merefleksikan tindakan yang berkenaan dengan penggunaan media sosial sebagai perangkat komunikasi dan interaksi. Makna media sosial yang muncul bagi informan adalah sebagai perpanjangan ruang publik karenanya harus digunakan secara hati-hati karena orang lain menilai jati diri melalui publikasi media sosial. Pemaknaan seperti itu muncul sebagai hasil tindakan reflektif informan terhadap budaya komunikasi yang dikenalnya semenjak masa SMP dan perilaku rekursif dari para pengguna media sosial lain yang diamati, juga interpretasi informan terhadap karakteristik berbagai jenis media sosial yang pernah digunakan.

Title                 : SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION CULTURE : A Case Study About  Social Media Use by Digital Natives Generation

xi + 110; 5 Chapter

Biblography: 23 books, 7 journals, 21 other

This research was aimed to study a dialectical relationship between the use of social media and the culture of communications in the digital native generation. This research used two conceptual approaches; those are the concept of social construction of technology and the agency-structure relation concept which was taken from structuration theory conceptual framework. Those approaches were used to explain how the members of digital native generation constructed the meaning of social media in their life. The method used in this research was Stake’s instrumental case study on an informant from the digital native generation.

It was found during the research that the informant recognized three different relevant social groups among social media users. The awareness about such groups was used as a source of reflective monitoring of action related to the use of social media as a tool of communication and interaction. The constructed meaning of social media for the informant was as an extension of public space. Therefore, the use of social media has to be done carefully since other people who have access will determine it as representation of te author’s original life. This constructed meaning about social media is a result of the reflective monitoring of actions related to the communication culture that has been recognized based on informants’ experience since secondary school, recursive action by fellow social media users, and the informants’ interpretative meaning, which was formed by various social media services that the informants ever used
