“…Everyday life must be considered (Christensen & Røpke, 2010) if we are to gain insight into online practices of community (Cappellini & Yen, 2016) and vice versa. Participation in sustainable smartphone practices encourages a considerable number of tasks directed towards the broad objective of sustainability.…”

Sustainability marketing research on collective consumption practices has often examined on-site actions, leaving aside online activity within brand communities. This study focuses on the online practices of communities to explain on-site sustainable practices. Online communities, which address global sustainability issues in the market, have been considered platforms for ethical consumerism for some time, yet we lack an understanding of how consumer discourse translates into practice. The research adds to the literature on online community practices by grounding it in on-site practices. The notion of community practices, which are guiding participants to make adjustments towards sustainable practices, holds potential for transformations towards sustainability. The practical implications of the research are laid out in the concluding section.

“…Consumer research on online communities has been criticised for its undynamic conceptualisation of the 'interconnections between online and on-site space' (Cappellini & Yen, 2016, p. 1280. In netnographic research, it is considered common wisdom that 'the virtual is no longer a partial piece of a wider reality [.…”

“…Although Voase pointed at how geographical locations 'become irrelevant' (2018, p. 386), Hinton and Hjorth (2013) contended that mobile devices generate spaces that are not entirely online, as they can have a geographical baseline (through GPS-assisted applications, for example), placing them somewhere in-between online and offline, spaces that could indeed be argued to be liminal in nature, that are always accessible by users. Madge and O'Connor (2005) and Cappellini and Yen (2016) argued these to be liminal and empowering spaces, in which users can explore and perform contrasting and liberating identities, echoing, therefore, the considerations made by Pritchard and Morgan (2006) and Shields (1991).…”

“…It could be, as in the case of Lex, that the performance is close to what Madge and O'Connor (2005) defined as 'new selves', because the performance implies identifying oneself with a different being and, as will be shown further below, to new communities that transcend normally experienced bounds and roles. However, it is also true that, as Eve stated, what is performed on Instagram and what is performed in real life can exist more as a hybrid, without clear borders (Ibid), or as a performance that amplifies and/or reflects a liminality experienced in real life (Cappellini & Yen, 2016).…”

The intersection between social media, liminality and naturebased tourism experiences hasn't been the focus of previous tourism research. Such intersection, on the other hand, is illustrative of how social media relate to the constitution and performance of tourism spatialities, tourist identities, storytelling and placemaking, and can lead to relevant theoretical contributes. We aim to investigate how liminality is expressed in relation to naturebased experiences by tourists on social media, and what role social media plays in mediating liminality during nature-based tourism experiences. The analysis is based on a participatory netnography of images and text posts, as well as online interviews with users of the popular social media Instagram. Findings show that the expression of tourism experiences in nature is closely related to specific notions of liminal otherness as opposed to the urban life and the everyday, where nature and wilderness are expressed as related to the genuine, the authentic and a true inner self. Creative combinations of pictures, captions and hashtags make it easier for tourists to express the contrast between the natural landscape and the everyday landscape once they returned home. These combinations also relate closely to performances of resistant and alternative selves and communities. At the same time, such performances are mediated and contested between freedom of self-expression, surveillance and social norms, an aspect that makes their liminal nature ambiguous. 摘要社交媒体、阈限性与自然旅游体验之间的交叉领域, 尚未成为旅游研究的焦点。另一方面, 这个交叉领域说明了社交媒体与旅游空间的构成和展示、游客身份、叙事和地方营造之间的关系, 并可以产生相关的理论贡献。我们的目的是研究游客在社交媒体上如何表达自然体验方面的阈限, 以及社交媒体在自然旅游体验中对阈限的调节作用。这一分析基于对图片和文本帖子的参与式网络民族志研究, 以及对流行社交媒体Instagram(即时照片墙)用户的在线访谈。研究结果表明, 旅游体验在自然中的表达与特定的、迥异于城市生活和日常体验的阈限差异性概念密切相关, 自 ARTICLE HISTORY

“…As much as consumption communities are celebratory arenas for ludic explorations, the fantasies feelings and fun that have preoccupied consumer research for decades (Holbrook & Hirschman, 1982), they also exert effects of exclusion, estrangement, discrimination, control and coercion. Revealing a darker side of online communities, Cappellini and Yen (2016) highlight how consumers can be displaced in online communities. Given the wealth of opportunities for value creation in consumption communities research into online communities has focussed on the work performed by consumers (Cova & Pace, 2006;Zwick, Bonsu, & Darmody, 2008).…”
