Abstract

The article is an empirical study of the issue of formation of narrative competence of popular social networks users. The author demonstrates that social internet networks in contemporary society are gradually being transformed into users’ blogospheres. Within network culture the blog becomes one of variations of discursive declaration, constructing of personality’s experience, a new type of self-narrative. Author's text is in a middle of a blog, which requires a certain level of narrative competence of its author: ability to distinguish and interpret narrative statements of the Other, that is to identify narratives in sociocultural texts (see a narrative behind a text) and build their own narrative constructs based on that. The author shows that attributive forms of narrative construction of experience differ in blogs of users of different Internet networks and platforms. Users of five popular social networks (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram) have three main (pre-semantic, semantic and meta-semantic) and two transitional levels of narrative competence. Statistically significant differences in formation of the level of narrative competence among users of YouTube video hosting and Instagram social network were identified. Assumptions about the uneven formation of narrative competence among users of other studied groups are not reliably confirmed. The prospects of elaborating of two separate training modules for development of narrative competence for social networks users with pre-semantic and semantic levels of its formation are substantiated.
