  • Relational Labor and Audience Engagement in the Wwe
    Selected Papers of #AoIR2020: The 21st Annual Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers Virtual Event / 27-31 October 2020 IN THE RING AND ONLINE: RELATIONAL LABOR AND AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT IN THE WWE Jessa Lingel University of Pennsylvania Introduction Professional wrestling has long been of interest to cultural and media theorists (Barthes, 2015; Canella, 2016; Olson, 2018). Long before reality TV, the performativity and scripted drama of professional wrestling allowed theorists to unpack questions of fictionality and narrative authenticity. In the context of internet studies, professional wrestling raises additional questions: How do performers use social media to maintain relationships with fans? How do gender norms manifest in on-stage versus online performances of professional identity? In this extended abstract, I present key concepts and guiding research questions for an investigation of fan culture and gender norms. I then provide a brief overview of related work and describe my mixed-methods approach. As this research project is ongoing, I present preliminary findings and implications as a concluding section. Key frameworks and concepts: Relational labor and kayfabe Following Baym’s (2018) work on how musicians maintain relationships with their fans, I use the concept of relational labor to describe the work that professional wrestlers do to connect with their audience through social media. Relational labor refers to the “ongoing, interactive, affective, material and cognitive work of communicating with people over time to create structures that can support continued work” (p. 19). I use the concept as a framework for analyzing the socio-technical labor conducted by WWE performers on Instagram. I am particularly interested in thinking about how gender shapes the work of relational labor: How do professional wrestlers manage relationships with fans online? What are the gendered constraints and affordances of a platform like Instagram for fan engagement? Suggested Citation (APA): Lingel, J.
