Individuals are expected to be responsible for their own health and that of their families-and act accordingly. Yet, being in a position of responsibility might be undesirable for individuals either unable or reluctant to comply with the expectations this responsibility entails. In this article, I explore how parents experience the process of engaging responsibly with digital media in relation to the question of human papillomavirus vaccination. The study is based on interviews with eighteen Danish parents, and my findings show that these parents not only understand themselves but also other actors in terms of responsibility, and that being positioned in terms of responsibility can have negative affective consequences. I argue that meeting the expectations of biological citizenship should not necessarily be a goal in relation to complex health topics.
人们应该对自己和家人的健康负责，并据此行动。然而，对于那些无法或不愿履行这种责任所带来期望的个人来说，承担责任的处境可能并不理想。在本文中，我探讨了父母在人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种问题上如何体验负责任地参与数字媒体的过程。该研究基于对18位丹麦父母的访谈，我的研究结果表明，这些父母不仅从责任角度理解自己，也从这个角度理解其他行为者，而且从责任角度定位可能会产生负面情感后果。我认为在复杂的健康话题上，满足生物公民身份的期望不一定应该成为目标。
