TikTok: the stage of digital natives

Roland Barthes, in The Obvious and the Obtuse, writes that singing is to fantastically enjoy the unified body. But it doesn’t always happen. The body, a fundamental element during the process of identity construction, is often excluded from adolescents' performances. The same body, however, becomes the protagonist on TikTok, a social within which a new type of performativity is being defined with respect to which adolescents act naturally.
The goal of the research, which is under development, is to contribute to the growth of good teaching practices for current adolescents. To achieve this, the research is developed through the following questions: what are the aspects of performativity of TikTok related to artistic-musical expressiveness? What are the affordances of TikTok that enable adolescents to use their bodies naturally in online performances? What is the relationship, if there really were, between the gestural aspect of TikTok performances and the technical-expressive vocal aspect? What are the implications of this relationship for music pedagogy in adolescence?
