generation Z, identity, fragility, lockdown, twitchAbstract
Generation Z has emotionally misunderstood the forced
abandonment of face-to-face social interaction during the lockdown. We examined Generation Z because it is in the midst of its own identity construction. The aim of our essay is to investigate the new fragilities in the pandemic and post-pandemic era and bring to light the new practices of
sociability that have emerged in recent years through social media and live streaming platforms such as Twitch.
