We will do so through a case study that investigates the specifics of three Catalan teenage language users and learners who use YouTube as a multimodal space of confluence for making meaning. We will particularly address three research questions: 1. How do teenage language users and learners in Catalonia appropriate YouTube? 2. What means of performing identity do teenagers in Catalonia employ on YouTube? 3. How do teenagers in Catalonia as youtubers develop such means of identity representation and performance in relation to language and literacy practices?eng© The Authors 2020Catalan teenagersIdentityLiteracyLanguage practicesYoutubebook part10.1007/978-3-030-34212-8_10open access
