Abstract

Most internet users are teenagers aged 15-24 years because the age range at that time communication begins to be well established, as stated by Rudolph F. Verderber in the book communication an introduction to the function of communication there are two, namely social function and decision-making function. The term second account is actually not a standard to determine whether this account is a second account or a first account. When viewed from the language side, the first account is the first account created and the second account is an account created after the first account. This study aims to determine the dramaturgy of Instagram social media second account users among teenagers in Pekanbaru. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research type with data analysis techniques in the form of observation, observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that Pekanbaru teenagers use social media as a tool to manage their self-image through two different arenas, front stage and back stage. Using Goffman's dramaturgy theory, we see how informants show themselves in the public space (front stage) by adjusting their self-image to existing social expectations, while in the private space (back stage) they are freer to express themselves more authentically and personally. Front stage, social media functions as a space to display a more controlled self-identity, such as highlighting relationships with family and friends, sharing joy, or highlighting certain personal interests. Conversely, in the back stage, the second account becomes a private space where informants can express feelings, personal relationships, and aspects of themselves that are freer from social pressure.
