본 연구의 목적은 촛불집회 참여와 1인미디어의 이용경험에 내재해있는 다양한 본질적의미를 탐구하는 데 있다. 이를위해 대학생 참여자및1인 미디어 이용자와의 심층 인터뷰를 실시한 자료들에 근거하여현상학적 방법론인 무스타카스의분석절차를적용,분석하였다.이 연구는참여자들의 다양한 행위와 현상의 의미들을 분석함으로써 촛불집회 참여의 시대적 의의와 1인 미디어 이용의 가능성을 도출하는 데 의의가 있다. 분석결과, 촛불집회 참여와 1인 미디어 이용경험의 의미와 본질은 세 가지로 파악된다. 우선, 촛불집회 참여동기는 연구참여자들의 개인적 계기와 정치적 계기가 주로 작용한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 촛불집회를 진압하는 공권력의 폭력성은 대부분 비판적으로 인식되었다. 셋째, 촛불집회 현장은 새로운 관계를 형성하고 소통할 수 있는 공간으로 판단되었다. 특히 집회 현장에서 1인 미디어는 친구와 가족뿐 아니라 새로운 관계를 형성한 사람들과의 커뮤니케이션 도구로서 이용되고 있었다. 공통 이슈에 대한 공유 및 광장이라는 열린 공간에서의 소통은 개인들 간의 관계를 점차 집단화시키는 현상을 보였다. 결국 1인 미디어는 집회 참여자들 간의 정보교류뿐만 아니라 비참여자들과의 소통도 수행한 것으로 분석된다.
